Not critics, cynics. I said I saw good things and questionable things in their list of projects.

The photography one has to do with making a lightweight zone focus 4x5 camera using 65 and 90 mm lens. No problem with that. They were just looking for financing for mold making.

By the same token, using others money for travels is a bit dicey. As someone pointed out, self publishing these days is pretty cheap. The money goes for their travels. Sounds like a good gig. And is basically high tech begging.

JMHO.
