I am a C- shooting for a solid C. Maybe if I’m a good boy and try real hard I can make it some day. Fun hobby anyway. Must keep the day job, I need to eat some times.
I am mostly C, occationally get bits of cash thrust upon me. At those times I think about becoming a b. At least the appeal of being able to write off camera equipment as a business expenise is appealing.

I'm an A, but haven't participated in a while because I'm swamped shooting stock photography AND sometimes when I submit it makes me feel like a D. :) Oh, my kingdom for a ribbon!!!!!
For all of you who are or where in A or B, how do you like it? Does it still keep you excited or does it make you not like photography as much as if you were just a C? I am a C praying that maybe one day I'll become a good B or A.
Also, I have another little question. Has anyone here submitted a picture to picture.com? If so, did you get invited to go to Washington D.C. for some great activities and competitions because I did and I figure they send those out to everyone who submits a picture. (just one more...) And if you have gotten one of those emails, are you going or have you gone before?
Thanks so much guys, I know that was a lot of questions for ya but if you can answer any of them, I'd love to hear what you have to say!

Don't know much about the picture site, but I like being a B. I've been a B [lol] for a couple of years doing industrial which oddly enough was a lot of fun. It keeps getting better and better, the best part for me is making your own work stand out. Plus, I'm in Calgary which is the photography capitol of Canada.. throw a penny out your window and you're bound to knock over atleast 2 wannabes.

So you're the one who keeps hitting me with pennies.
I am A... *waits for a moment. you called my bluff. "C" obviously. I hope to take some classes when I go to college.. and hopefully purchase a decent camera.. 4.1 megapixels is so last year.
