Hi Andy,
        Love your work, look for an email from me as I need to purchase a mixed cd of pix.
        I hate your website, though. Being computer geeky, but short on time, I both appreciate your cool flash site, but I hate to wait as I cycle through while the code does it's thing. Do you have an html version of your site? Even with the upgraded broadband (now a lighntning 4.7mbps) it takes several seconds to load an image.

Oh, and Russ? They all took pix of you, (in the thong) but it broke the lens and now you're on the "do not photo" list. 

Sounds good Alexa.

As for the website.  Well, I think any way you slice it a website that uploads around 3,000 or more photos to be displayed for a weekend is in trouble already.  I'm not sure an HTML sight would perform with any major noticeable difference, a picture gallery that displays things at a reasonable quality is hard to run fast, than multiply it by hundreds of people a day searching and it obviously is going to get bogged down at times. 

The advantage for us is; yes it looks nice but more importantly it is fairly easy to build webpages in, easier than I could do in html.  In fact to make the pages for say a CCS event with 150 individual rider pages and a main page searchable by number only takes about 30-45 minutes, which saves us a lot of headaches.

I may revamp the page for the new year and I take all these things into consideration. 

Thanks!

I looked thru the pictures and honestly...there's nothing there that my wife didnt get with her camera. I see this time and time again with photographers that shoot many different kinds of races...yet specialize in none. Take the time to talk to some of the racers and get their feedback as to what would be a good shot. Last year I raced as an amateur and this guy was on the money.....  http://www.rsvmille.net/Daytona/Stone/

Thanks for taking the time to listen. I know I have limited time, and may be a special case, because I don't just search for pix of one or two racers, but many of the racers we do work for. Saving time on your end is probably worth it, but I know that there are still some archaics out there still on dial up, and that might discourage them from going through those awesome images.

Keep up the good work!

One is Ryan with http://www.superbikepics.com

Thanks, Eric.

Checked both of their sites and can't find any Daytona images for this past weekend.  Maybe their still sitting in the emulsion in the dark room.

Ryan, Wendy, can either of you let us all know if you'll be posting any Daytona images, and when?

God, I so feel like a little kid about this stuff "whaaa whaaa I want my pictures whaa whaaa".
