I can't thank our race photographers enough for their contribution to such a fine season. I just wanted to put in a plug for these folks. They put in a huge amount of time and money to take, sort, and post the pics we love. In the past years we've had a lot of photographers make similar efforts only to sell an occasional print, and then not return for the next season. Notice that most of our photos this year are from new photographers? After a season or two of bleeding money, it becomes hard to justify. Help bring back our photographers next season- buy prints from Shane, Don, Cheryl, and Abbi for christmass presents. And check out the merchandise From Shane- He can customize any item with any picture. .......... Cost of renting lenses alone at $40 a day every cross race- $360 The sacrifice of kicking butt to have photos posted the very night of race day- and giving away prints at races- countless hours and lots of beer money. Being able to email pics of me crashing Sunday to my parents who still don't quite get that I'm not a pro ("But hun, you race a lot and you're sponsored....that's sort of a job, right?")- priceless :) .......... We are lucky to have the best series in the nation, and luckier still to have the photos to prove it. Thanks guys! Steve Davee |
