    That kitten picture is too cute! Yeah, everyone who submits a photo gets a letter. And even though they say you have "no obligation" to buy, once you submit your information they will send you more & more crap pressuring you to buy, and before you know if there IS an obligation to buy if you want your photo printed. It's exactly the same as the National Library of Poetry, which is now poetry.com.

    I got one of those Who's Who letters a couple years ago, it was Who's Who of Women in Business and it kept referring to my amazing accomplishments and great industry-wide success... I'm a receptionist! Seriously, a six-year-old could do this job.

    I keep getting more emails from the photo "contest" too telling me I'm a semifinalist, and then a finalist. If you notice, they never tell you a publication date of the book and if you think of it, have you ever seen one of their books (or the poetry ones) in a bookstore or library? Nobody else buys these books - IF they even exist - other than the people who are scammed into them!

    You crack me up. That said, I filled in for my old company's receptionist a few times, and it's HARD! Don't sell yourself short, not everyone can do it. And take it from one...a BAD receptionist can really mess up an office!

    Bryan I love your picture!!
    I want to have a big version of that picture framed and hung in my house

    and to think I actually wasted time trying to pick out a "good" picture when I could have sent one of my thumb.

    I got that letter a while ago and I sent in the thing telling them they could print my photo but I'm not buying the book. Then I got the Vegas convention letter and knew what was up. I will say I do have all 4 of my Who's Who from HS. My mom was definetly a sucker for that letter.

    I need to find my winning pic and share with all of you other winners on here.

    Bryan, that is stunning. Definitely an award winner.

    (actually if it were in a series, it would be really cool)

    OH my gosh, they still have the "half-nekky-hubby-in-background" picture up that I submitted long before SR, when I entered through snapfish...

    Oh, and it would be a sort of cool, "watch the grass grow" sort of series.
