Title: Photo's From Gateway?
Post by: stephenr928 on May 17, 2004, 06:32:25 PM
There was a couple at Gateway taking spiffy photos of racers (& wannabe racers).
I forgot to exchange contact info before leaving.....I was in to much of a hurry to get my last place plaque.
Anybody know who they were & how to reach them?  They were set up in the garage, down by tech.
Thanks.

Cool, I'm glad Jack was there.  :)  That dude in Tech was snapping away and was not organized at all.

My wife wanted to buy some pictures that had just flashed up on the screen and the dude couldn't even find them!  ???

I told her Jack was supposed to be down and to wait and see what he snaps of us.

Hey guys! Yes, I was there! I'll have the photos up this afternoon. I had an event at Grattan yesterday... a lot of driving. :(  I got some great shots. I'll post when they're up. Thanks!

I'm sorry I missed him.  Maybe at BHF in July.

Kris, I'm a dork, but I don't remember. ??? Maybe no sleep the past two days has erased my short term memory... I remember meeting a couple people, just didn't put it together you were TB.

R1, I was looking for you, were you 717? Did you have Sparky pucks?  ;D

Yes, you ARE a dork.   :P ;D

I was pitted right next to tech.  No problem; you seemed to be on a mission at the time.   ;)

Yes, I am 717.  I have no idea what you're talking about regarding the sparking pucks though!  ;)

I'll be placing an order for two CD's one for me and one for my brother (711).

Chuck!
Thanks for the link.   (Next time, please find a link that makes me look faster.)

Jack,
Thanks for taking the pics.  (Next time, please take pics of me looking like I'm going faster.)
I'll be buying a disc from you in 2 days.....I need to get permission first.

Cheers,

You're very welcome! I appreciate the order!

I've been wanting to ask, why weren't you guys at Blackhawk? Did I miss something? Are you going to be there Memorial weekend?
Title: Re: Photo's From Gateway?
Post by: Dawn on May 18, 2004, 04:25:13 PM
We weren't there, the bike wasn't done (Paul's been working a LOT of overtime).  

We're hoping to be there for Memorial Day weekend.  Keep your fingers crossed.

Dawn   ;)

That couple that was working there butts off taking pictures? And the dude was working the event and trying to sort pics. Way to go.  :-X

No, I know they were working hard (and I appreciate it).  They just need to get a little better organized.  It's just disappointing when you're trying to buy a picture, and they can't find it!  :'(

I will be buying a picture from Jack but, I would also like to see what the other photog has to offer.  It can't hurt to look.
Do they have a web site with thumbnails?  I too had trouble trying to get them to show me a picture of myself on Sunday.  I understand they were very busy then.  But, I need to see those pictures before the excitement of my second to last place finish (3rd) wears off.

E-mail him at frontrowphotos@aol.com he'll send you some samples to look at.

It's cool. Just thought it wasn't appropriate to air it on this forum without getting the whole story first. ;) How's the starting line wheelies doing? ;D

You're right.... my apologies.

QuoteHow's the starting line wheelies doing? ;D

Hehe....well, I think I have those cured.  Last time I raced (after that debacle) I got some killer starts.   This past weekend.  Not the greatest starts, but I also didn't turn my bike into a skyscraper! ;)

Yeah ....  I was the 'unorganized guy' who couldn't find your photos.  I'm really sorry about that.  We were getting overwhelmed on Sunday afternoon trying to help folks.  

  Thanks Kevin and Chuck for the plug and helping to clear things up!
Just so everyone knows I am in the midst of making a transition from working Tech/Grid/Asst Starter for CCS to doing the photo thing.  

Due to not enough Tech staff at Gateway I ended up having to cover Tech Sunday and try and keep an eye on the Photo stuff too.

We are trying to get the bugs worked out on being more efficient in sorting the photos as they come in.
We'll be using some new software next time that should make it much easier to find your photos.
Since I don't have the Website up and running yet I am trying to get photos and CD's to people before they leave the track.

If you would like to see what we got of you, send me an email at FrontRowPhotos@aol.com.  Tell me number you are (or a description of your bike/helmet if it was a track day) and I'll send you samples attached to an email for you to look at.

By the way.....  I think Jack does a Great Job at Slider Photo.  Hopefully, there's enough interest out there so that you guys end up with great shots!

No sweat Rick, good work.  I just got my samples and they look fantastic!
