O... M... F... G.
ETA:
After some thought, I realized why this struck such a sour note with me. They are charging $155/hr for folks to participate, and they have apparently had a rousing success with it. So what's wrong with that, eh?
Well for starters (pun intended), it teaches the participants *nothing* about photography. In fact, it goes out of its way to avoid teaching anything. It positions the device, sets the background/subject relationship, pretty much does everything but push the button. No effort at all required on the part of the participant. Ach. We might be forgiven, then, for thinking that folks would see the lack of any real value and dismiss it... but no, apparently there are plenty of folks willing to plunk down that kind of coin to learn nothing. No wonder it gives me indigestion!
