picture.com Iwas also fooled I guess!!! What a shame. I did attend the convention and was very disappointed after finding this site and reading all the bad feedback concerning picture.com! They told me a couple of days ago that they would mail my awards to me because I didn't make it to the contest room in time to submit my photo. I guess I'll wait and see! Collee paxton

I also attended the convention and was one of the cash prize winners. I was not disappointed at all. All of the workshops I attended were informative and interesting. The people I met were fantastic and some have become great friends. The trick is to be on time.

I'm about to go beyond my rights again. They flood emails and letters out without any real regard to who takes what kind of picture. There's no doubt that they do give out prizes, but the mode of operation is just to get as many people as they can to pay the money, and whoever goes that's where the money for the prizes comes from. The analogy I've used before I'll use again. If you have a talent contest, and tell as many people as possible they could win. You may or may not get somebody who actually can sing, but that dosen't matter. You just pick a winner, and if they are truly good, then they are good, just as long as you get enough people paying to enter the contest, you got your money. Whoever wins the contest is happy. The damage is done with the people who really didn't have anything, but believed all compliments and comments of admiration. At $500 per person to attend, any prizes they give away is small to what they bring in. And anything from any workshops they offer is most likely covered in a well explaining book for $20-30. Don't worry Colleen, there have been others. Now you know.
