For me, it's not surprising that they got acquired. Ever since the co-founders left/got ousted, the reviews of the leadership/management have been pretty dismal. And most of my professional photographer friends usually just u

I recall using a very attractive photo of a woman (not a model as that would be too obviously fake) on a forum and asking about salary ranges in a city. The next morning, the thread had over a hundred replies and I even got one private mess
