Rub it in my face why dontcha...

As you know, The International Society of Photographers recently held our annual convention in Las Vegas. We informed you that you and your artistic accomplishments could have been honored. Unfortunately, you were unable to join us this year. We are so pleased with your artistic vision that we would really like to present your photo, Solitary at our next convention. Of course, we hope you will be able to attend and present your work personally next year. Unfortunately, you could not attend this time, so we're trying to do the next best thing.Emily Has Been Selected To Receive Two Free Airline Tickets!Due to the success of our convention this year, our Travel Partner is providing airline vouchers good for two free tickets to a select group of photographers who become members of our society and agree to let us present their work at our next event. There is more! We will also send you the following as recognition of your artistic achievement in photography: Outstanding Achievement in Photography Crystal Award Trophy>Commemorative ISP
Award Medallion

Your Outstanding Achievement in Photography Crystal Award Trophy

(a $300 value)
  • Your Bronze Commemorative Award Medallion (a $40 value)
  • Full Basic Membership (1 year) into the ISP ($60 value)
  • A personalized membership card entitling you to $100's
    worth of discounts
  • Free entry to a special members-only photo contest
  • All that's required for us to immediately send you all of these awards, including the free airline travel voucher for two, is for you to give us permission to present your photograph at a future convention. Additionally, we must also ask you for the necessary funds ($169.00 plus p&h) to cover the cost of the time and effort required to present your photography before the convention attendees, and to cover the costs incurred in insuring and shipping to you these extremely large and heavy awards.

    Emily, we are ultimately most interested in meeting you and having you personally present your artistry in front of the thousands of other photographers who attend these live events. Unfortunately, you could not attend this time, so we're trying to do the next best thing. We sincerely hope to personally present you with your most deserved awards in the future. As an added bonus, I am going to send you a $100 gift certificate off the registration of a future ISP convention.

    Go Here To Have Your Photograph Displayed At A Future Convention!


    Sincerely,

    Craig Foster

    Because they're not trying to help you. They probably haven't even seen your picture.

    They just want your money.

    Sorry.

    I thought it was a cool picture. Would be a good one for a microstock gallery...hint.
