Hi Randy,
Once agin well done these are the only groups that we have and even if they aren't always getting us what we need they are still a collective voice. This is the only option for photographers to band together and try to correct any issues that can hurt our industry. I am going to an ASMP event tonight just to hang out with the other Seattle based photographers, a lot of fun and knowledge shared at these events I've been a member for 20 years. Keep up the great posts and supporting the stock industry.
Cheers,
Jonathan
