I was looking through this months Shutter Bug magazine, and saw a bunch of these seminars for Glamour photography seminars listed in the back. I thought it might be fun to check out, so I click on the site.

Anyways, here is the site: http://www.glamourphot​onet.com/ (external link)

Has anybody gone to any of these seminars? Is this for real? I mean I recognize some of the girls in the photos, but who is to say they are not from the internet. So, is this legit?

Don't know if they are for real or not, but the quality of some of the photos in their galleries leaves a lot to be desired, and isn't a particularly good advert for their services.

That looks like a cheap website made by a thirty-something housewife with no html knowledge and some fellow PTA members for a crew.

Not a very professional looking setup.

I tried to join the Yahoo group, No luck.

Anyways, does anybody think this is for real? Maybe I should just spend the $30 and drive down to San Diego and report back my findings. HA HA

Even if real, the photos don't look nearly as good as the POTN G&N thread.

Why do you want to go so badly? Doesn't look like it's worth the drive even if the "seminar" were free...
