Still no word from Kelly or anyone else on the multitude of good questions regarding the changes, like why non-photographers are being treated differently in the royalty structure, and why we were promised something when supposedly everyone at HQ knew they wouldn't be able to come through with it. Bewildering and jarring shift in the contributor/owner relationship. Unfortunately their silence, and the three (3!) posts that didn't answer a single question, point to this being the new status quo.

On a related note, I've had a project in the works that I think many here will be interested in. I felt that the iS forum wasn't an appropriate place to post this, so hopefully here is OK. If you're interested, send me an email at photodoer /at/ gmail.com, and I'll shoot you an email when it's completed. For now I'll just say that it's right up your alley.
