I don't understand the whole cash cow that has become the professional photos and autographs of the Walk of Fame. When I bought an autograph from Bruce Boxleitner, he was nice enough to let us take free photos with him at his table with our camera. (He even let a lady that didn't buy an autograph cut in line in front of me for a free picture). Also got a free picture with Terry Gilliam that came out great(and two free autographed DVD's). When I met comic book legend George Perez and asked for a photo, he couldn't wait to come out and put his arm around my shoulders and give the "thumbs up". Also got free photos with authors Kevin J. Anderson & Timothy Zahn. All in total I spent around $200 from Walk of Fame, Artist Alley, & Dealer Room combined.
So when you say that the Froggy price is split 3 ways, does that mean DragonCon is getting that 1st third? That would be interesting. They say they only make money off memberships and selling table space. Split Stewart's fee of $200 three ways and that is like $66.70 a piece.
Did anyone do the "Use your camera to take a picture for $10" as many celebrities had signs indicating? Was that just the star or did they let you get in the picture too?
