Re: Info request -- Pentax gallery
Thanks for the kind offer, Bong! If I haven't heard from someone at the gallery by Friday, I may very well take you up on that. As I said, I don't know if I'll ever produce anything worthy of inclusion -- looking through the gallery can be pretty intimidating. But, I intend to give it my best. Thanks again!

Info request -- Pentax gallery
Hi all, From time to time, I see folks posting links to their images that have been accepted to the Pentax gallery. So, I figured I'd register on the off-chance I take a shot that would be accepted for inclusion. I tried yesterday, requesting the Artist Code so that I could complete the registration process, but haven't gotten a reply. It's been my experience with other similar types of registrations that the process is instant; submit the request, and an email with the requested code shows up in your inbox a few seconds later. But, still, I haven't received anything from the site. Is this normal? Am I going about things incorrectly, or is there some criteria that I have to meet in order to get an Artist Code? Thanks in advance for any info anyone can provide.

Re: Info request -- Pentax gallery
Walt, I don't have an artist code though I have a number of photos accepted in the gallery. I always go by my e-mail address and my password. It worked so far.

Thanks, Boris. I guess maybe I went to a different site (which I can't even find now, oddly enough), or something.

Re: Info request -- Pentax gallery
Hmm ... it looks like the registration process may have changed since you signed up. Now, it requires and Artist Code in order to register and get a password. At least that's the way it appears to me. I'll just give it a few days to see if there might be a lag in the approval process before issuing Artist Codes. Thanks again, Boris. If I don't hear from Pentax in the next few days, I'll write them a passive-aggressive email. Best, Walt On 10/2/2010 12:54 PM, Boris Liberman wrote: Walter, I am not sure what you're talking about.

Re: Info request -- Pentax gallery
If you're not already an accepted Pentax Artist, it appears you have to click the Contact Us link and request an invite to participate. It askes for first last names, email address and comments.

Re: Info request -- Pentax gallery
Walt I'm fairly certain that requests to participate in the Gallery are handled by a real person - there's no automated response. If I remember correctly, it takes a few days to get your 'Artist's Code'. Once you have that, you go to 'Your Account' to set up a password and then, to log in, you use your email address and password, as Boris said. I can't even recall what my 'Artist's Code' is. I mustn't have recorded it, but it seems that it's not needed once you have it.

Thanks, Brian. Hopefully, I'll be notified sometime this coming week. I submitted my request on Friday evening, and I figure whoever handles them probably does so during standard business hours.
