Digital BW, The Print

Mark,
The PPA has a membership of about 8,000 hard working pros,
hardly a camera club!  Your remarks are NOT appropriate
for a serious forum addressing improving the craft and art of image making!

I am not trying to be a wise ass, but many of the pro photographers  
we deal with think of these as just just glorified camera clubs that  
you pay dues to, compete against each other, and when you win enough  
stuff they let you add letters after your name. I went to a couple of  
meetings to see what it was all about and the competition rules  
seemed completely ridiculous, they allowed for no "outside the box"  
thinking. After seeing that, I kind of agreed with my clients.

So is it JUST a marketing tool?
