Yes, oh yes! I am finally elegible for ASMP membership as more than 1/2 my income last year was from photography. I sold one print for $20.
That is crap! And its only purpose is to keep the unwashed out. Anybody who does photography with the intention of being paid for it is a pro. Anyone who thinks that you have to do more than that has a vested interest in keeping the competion out. That is the purpose of all professional associations. And, unfortunately, it has become the purpose of most trade unions.
