<< A co-worker of mine entered a photo he had taken in a 'contest' that he

of Photography. Anyone ever heard of this, and is it ultimately a scam of
some sort? The photo my friend took can actually be seen here:

Looks like a site dedicated to collecting photos, creating photo books from
them and then selling them to the people who submitted the original photos.
Like the people who offer to include you in a book of *Who's Who in America*
and then selling you a copy for big bucks. I noticed that the guy who runs
the site had his copyright notice under your friend's picture although the
website disclaimer says that the owner of a photo submission retained all
rights to the photograph. It would be a nice way to develop a commercial
portfolio, would it not? Using the best of other people's pictures? :-(
