This in turn, we >hoped, would minimize the flood of "orphans" that might be created >by inadequate search procedures. We feel that none of our members >would benefit from that." > > >The American Society of Picture Professional (ASPP) is a community >of image experts committed to sharing their experience and knowledge >throughout the industry. This non-profit association provides >professional networking and educational opportunities for those who >create, edit, research, license, manage or publish pictures.
