Issues with Froggy Photos

Anybody else having issues communicating with Froggy's Photos?

I emailed them trying to get the status of my .jpg picture files that I paid for, but they have hot replied to my emails.

Why don't actors pose for personal photos

Two issues that I've dealt with:
1. Time - every photo takes longer than a signature. When the line is deep, taking a minute rather than 30 seconds with each person will matter.
2. Money - actors work for money and there's only so much they can give away for free (or whatever they *may* get paid for attending an event).

Agents get paid mostly on percentage; when the actor makes money, they make money. When the actor doesn't make money, they don't make money.

Most artists are _very_ happy to interact with fans but there are practical limits to it. Sometimes, cost is the easiest way to thin the herd - there were lots of people who paid for Froggy's pics and there would have been many more if the price were less.
