don't you think he just faked that logo? Or maybe he bought www.wpja.cc.com & made a trade with them for membership.

does the WPJA really look at the quality of the photos though? maybe they do. and he can probbaly submit his best stuff to get accepted.

i wonder what they'd think if they knew about his business practices

honestly, i thought the same thing, and i checked the wpja site, and he is actually listed as a member. how disappointing.

I wonder if its one of those associations that you just pay a membership fee and you are a member without really having specific standards?

[LCBride2007]

that's what i was thinking.

I entered a contest on photo.com & got inducted into some sort of photography association. It was a snapshot of a lighthouse, nothing special. There was a button I clicked that said "enter contest." I thought it was like an instant win thing. They would send me emails with pictures of the lighthouse on a trophy, wooden box, coffee table book & a medalion. I could purchase all these items to show off my award winning photo. I could also attend an awards banquet in vegas.

It was so obvious to me this was fake, but if someone else submitted a good picture it might be hard to tell.

So maybe he entered a contest like I did.

Now I get all of these emails all the time! They wanted me to buy some stupid book with all of the award winning photos.
