Title: Professional Photography Associations and Clubs
Post by: fullvalue on April 06, 2009, 16:08
How many of you belong to a professional photographers association?  If so, do you only shoot microstock or do you also shoot weddings, portraits, work for hire, etc.  How would you categorize "stock photography" when filling out an application, commercial, industrial or other?

 I believe in them but like most things you get out what you put in. Many people want to pay dues an expect their problems to be handled by these groups. I think the more proactive you become the more you will see in personal benefits. Like our own government in a way. We want to pay our taxes and have all our problems solved but it doesn't always turn out that way. Micro community is similar, you get out of it what you put into it.

Well that's the big difference with government. You don't get out what you put in it, except the paper money they're printing like madmen right now.

A non topic, eh.    :)   I went to a meeting of the PPSO last night.  It was really nice.  The classification would be commercial photography.
