Facebook's Double Standard

Oh, the irony. Just as I’m ready to say that gender bias is dead on social networks like Twitter and Friendfeed, Facebook proves me wrong. Sadly, it is still alive and well there.

reflections of one another

This is part of a set that I took yesterday indoors in afternoon light, called "variations on a rose".
