Irvine J. Gelb,

Is a great photographer and has a long history of great shots. He made many stars.

I received another email from another great photographer Bill Dobbins.

The pie in the bodybuilding, Fitness, Figure, Model, Aerobic industry is being cut very thin these days in the USA. Magazines and editors don’t pay the same pay scale they did in the 80’s-90. Could this be a sign of yet another extension of a recession?”

All the best,

Mike Glass – President WFF-WBBF North America®

READ EMAIL FROM “BILL DOBBINS”

Michael, as far as my photo shoots of women (and men) competitors, until recently, I've done most of the shoots on a "trade" basis, relying on website and magazine sales to make a living. But web traffic is down (the economy doesn't help) and the magazines are buying very few photos and not paying much. But there are so many competitors who want and need photos for websites, publicity and prints that I've set up a program to help get them what they need. Here is a link that explains:

I'd appreciate your passing this on to whoever might be interested. I know you have some terrific women competing for your organization and I also know how difficult it is for them to obtain high quality photos.

Thanks, be well.
