Due to a recent debacle, the WPJA is now requiring each of it's members to "re-up". New and stricter guidelines went into effect. The twenty percent website "photoshop effects" now included black and white toning, and edge burning.
My problem was, was that I just had a half page ad go into "The Knot" magazine. For those of you familiar with "knotties", they are not exactly hard core pj lovers. They still cling to the spot coloring, and Jesus's reflection in the wineglass stuff............
So I was at a crossroads:
I could change my whole website to hardcore pj, or leave it as it was, and hope that the "moments" overpowered any trad style or processed stuff.
I decided to hang with what I had. I wanted to be "me", and if that meant I was "out" of a wonderful org, so be it.
Three weeks went by with no word. I was starting to sweat it, as WPJA is a very important affiliation to me. The most important actually as you can't just send a check and be accepted. (juried)
I was really beginning to believe I might very well be "out". (When you aren't accepted there, you hear nothing, so that three weeks was getting me nervous.)
Anyhoo, the word came this morning that I am "in". At least for another year.
Yay!
*Breathing a huge sigh of relief!!!!!!!*
I don't want to turn this into an ad, but any of you who are currently WPJA will totally understand. This new reup policy is making MANY of us nervous. It's just great to know that the WPJA is still standing by my work. In my opinion, it's the hardest wedding org to get into, and now, to stay in.
So my advice would be, if you are currently WPJA, and are due to reup.....stand by your work as it is. They will still see what got you into the org in the first place.
Hugs,
Cindy
