What I am about to say here might be considered arrogant and understandably so, but...I wanted to see what might happen if I submitted images that were published in some of the most prestigious "Trendy" press magazines in the world and or are on exhibit at either the Cannes Festival of Fashion Photography, exhibited at Lumas Galleries world wide and being sold with the likes of Helmut Newton and Horst P. Horst.
Now, I know that Pentax have an issue or issues with me regarding allegations that I broke with some of my NDA commitments during the pre-K20D launch. I also know, that the complaints filed originated with Popular Photography and Mr. Howard and the complaint was forwarded from Ned Bunnel to Pentax Europe. Pentax and I were already having issues at that time, but this complaint is what broke the proverbial camel's back. I have already had some feedback from the Gallery Administrators and it has not been good. Twelve of my 24 submitted images were rejected and the other twelve are on hold waiting on a response. Those that were rejected are part of my Lumas Gallery Expo. If all of my images are rejected...
We shall see.
PS...That is why I asked about credentials of the judges. I have been on several panels in the past as a judge and it will be interesting to say the least, what the outcome will be. No sour grapes here, just politics.
