[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1328429, member: 68872"] Ah, the good old days. Back before digital a photographer would shoot many rolls of film at an event. The film wasn't cheap, and processing the film cost more, but the biggest expense was making prints. To minimize the cost the "proof" was often a postage stamp size picture that was sent to the contestant by mail, along with an order form. A printed page is not exactly free today and before computers the cost of a printed page order form was significant. The contestant would get the proof a week or more after the event, and then the actual picture would take a week or two after that. Between the cost of the order form, envelope, postage, developing and film there was a significant cost in getting a proof to a potential client. Now days I ride an event and by the time I have the bike put away and have dusted myself off I can walk over to the on-site trailer where I can preview the shots via computer. If I like what I see I walk back to my rig carrying my freshly printed pictures. I do wish, however, that they would sell me the digital image for a reasonable price. I really doubt that a picture of me is ever going to be worth anything to anyone but me. Rod [/QUOTE]
