[> Subject: I would just like to say as a former contestant at nationals zac was by far one of the BEST parts of my week. he made every state feel like they were miss americas outstanding teen. He was such an amazing addition the the orginization and we will miss him so much. sometimes I wish I would have waited to compete because I see how much maot is growing and all the new opprotunites the girls get, but now I am so thankful because I'm so blessed to have met Zac and have him part of my life. I will tell you maot will have an extremly hard time finding another photographer who is more passionate about the program and who is dedicated to forming relationships with the titleholders and making them feel so special. nationals won't even be the same anymore because Zac was always there whether it was rehersals or appearances and he made everything double the fun! This was a big mistake on MAOT's part. They are loosing way more than just a photographer with Zac.

[> Subject: I read on Facebook that he received a an email stating that MAOT was working to brand the program, cutting costs and refocusing their needs. It sounds like more handiwork of Kim Parrish to me!

[> Subject: He is still going to Orlando though, he said he wanted to see Taylor Fitch and support her. And also he is on a local board in Texas and their teen, Taylor won Texas' Outstanding Teen, so he will be there to cheer for her. he still very much believes in the system and will continue to support it on the local level. Thank you Zac and we will miss you!!

[> [> Subject: Well at least the photos were awesome and organized by state. Can you imagine the hours it takes to go through thousands of photos and put them in state order. He was a volunteer.

[> Subject: I have to say though I hope it's not the guy who did the Tony Bowls pics though they were way too mature for teens. Perhaps they would be good for the Miss.

[> [> Subject: The last two years of Tony Bowls pictures were done by Zac and this year, Tony brought his guy. They said his name during the TB slideshow. Agree, way too sexy for teens and seeing them all together you only saw the dresses and not the girl.

[> Subject: What happened to the photographer. Did he skip out and did they get someone new for the finals?

[> [> [> Subject: I asked because there were pictures of each night then none of Wednesday or Thursday then someone was back on Saturday.... So why pictures of the events and only the first night of prelims...? Still confused about that.

[> Subject: Actually, they sent him an email saying that they couldn't afford to put him up for pageant week, or send the title holder to Texas to do her photographs any longer. Therefor, they didn't need an official photographer any more.

[> Subject: But then at the pageant they said the new photographer is from another state. So what about that?
