scam, scam, scam, scam.... well, not a true scam, they want you to buy an $80.00 book and waut more than a year to get it, then be upset about all the crappy pics in it because they give this to anyone who enters their contest... See the thread "The truble with the international society of photographers" what they do is sell you stuff... expensive garbage, they play on your ego and get rich! you do get stuff you buy but its way over priced, takes foreer to get to you and usually doesnt mean a thing. Sorry... Craig-
