The Great Melting Pot

We all have distinct, cultural backgrounds. We all have diverse, social values. Ultimately, we are all human beings; jumbled together in this great melting pot.

If you feel it's worthy, a vote for this gallery would be most appreciated. :)

You have done here exactly as I suggested, Rodney. And the title "The Great Melting Pot" is a lot more meaningful than just "People". I also like the way you mix black and white and color and tonal images here as well -- you are letting content speak instead of form.

After reviewing all of your images, I suggest you not only combine the black and white with the color gallery, but also add the very best of the Thai and Indian galleries to it as well. Then edit down the whole gallery to less than 20 pictures and give this People gallery a more resonant name, such as "Life as I find it" or something like that -- just define what this gallery means to you instead of labeling it contents as just "People."

I think you should organize your images by theme and content, not by form. Black and white and color are different mediums but both of these galleries tell the same very human story. Break down the walls, Rodney, between content and form. Unify these galleries into one and do more editing. Get it down under 20 by taking out redundant images.
You have some very humane images in here -- let them speak.
