    There were several photographers there, but if a picture was taken of corner workers I would guess that was VHS Photography. Try and PM Vicky or email her.

    I think he's the same guy that whined about Jordan(Nemesis) snapping photos at Barber.

    Sounds to me that he has it out for every Walmart Digicam owner.

    Professional meaning, business license, LIABILITY INSURANCE, and not shooting just for FUN. There are more and more and more of those buying consumers equipment and just having fun that might be mistaken for a professional.

    Oh, you mean, like family and friends, and people that support us racers, taking pictures for there own personal use and to show off to others the pride they have in their racer family member or friend, and not someone who makes a living off of the racers and their families?

    Dunno, I tend to think anyone trying to slam their competitors even in a roundabout way is extremely unprofessional.

    Just curious - being someone who buys liability insurance on a regular basis - exactly what does that do for a photographer? Cover you in case one of your employees runs over someone on the quad?

    Also curious - in this atmosphere of club racing - why exactly do you continue to come to our races since there are so many amateurs who actually enjoy taking their own pictures and sharing them with their friends?

    Guess I'm not professional in my job since I do it much more so for the fun than for the money. Guess I could be concerned about the money first like you and then I'd be professional too.

    Sorry, but my idea of a professional is one who takes good pictures, knows what he or she is doing, and works in a manner to attract future business. I have bought pics/cds from more than one photographer here and will continue to do so because they take good shots, are friendly and approachable, and some have even offerd me advice on camera settings when out shooting for fun and taking pics of my friends.

    MarkB All's well that ends well

    Hate to interject into this little spat....but since when is it wrong to make a living by selling someone a "luxury item"???

    Sure give him a hard time about turning a profit selling blankets to seniors during the winter - but photos to guys with disposable income???!!!! :rolleyes:

    Anyway, I support the professional trackside snappers. They take great pics, and I dont see any of them making a killing on it. Its a service that you kinda have to be a pro to do well - and I can't do it since I'm racing a bike at the time....

    Having said that - genuinely amateur photographers (or even aspiring professionals in training) should not be intimidated by the vendors trackside....

    (diet)DrThunder Why so serious, son?

    Holy Mother Of Pearl!!! People are having FUN with cameras? And taking pictures without liability insurance??? What is the world coming to?!?!

    If your product isn't good enough to easily differentiate you from a guy with a WalMart camera, maybe you have more to worry about than who is having fun and who is a pro. Hell, you didn't even take any pictures at all during the school mock race...probably the singular event that every participant would want pics from, since it's our first time racing, ever.

    I do feel better that you have the liability insurance though...good going.

    I don't believe anyone including crossedup has an issue with making money taking pix - if you don't want ot buy them then don't after all - but about slamming those who are doing it for fun. Seems as though the "professional" is actually the one intimidated since he's making the comments....

    BTW - Most professionals wouldn't come to a possible deal and start pointing fingers and calling names like some 2 bit pole smoker..
    And from the pics on your site, you could take lessons from Ryan S. I think he could probably teach you a thing or two aout pics, and the biz...

    The majority of the photographers that I work with are kick ass people...we have a good time together while we're shooting and after the day is done. We sometimes eat together, drink together and laugh together. And if we don't have something that you are looking for we'll refer you to one of the others. There's enough bikes out there to take pictures of without the harshness of one photographer slamming another. We all work hard, we all have fun. That's what its all about right? :D
