Some things are worth more to people than "AKA money"...

One of the best write ups I have ever read in a magazine. You may have missed your calling dude.

Ya know, forget I said anything. After being involved with some photographers and photography type things I'm seeing a side of things that is not and probably not going be popular to some.

I wasn't referring to the owner of the car, i was referring to the photographer. That's all.

You want to be compensated for being in a photo contest?? lol

Umm... ok

Robert McGaffin entered the PHR photo contest and it pretty much launched his carrer. I guess that was payment.

In any event, it's a fun contest and if an entrant is really good it can lead to other things.. what's not to love?

You care to expand on this statement. I've been in photo field my entire career (19 years), I have no idea what you are referring to.

sorry for the thread hijack.
