La Crosse Fitness Festival photos

Yes, we're well aware of her. She is selling the photos; we are giving them away like we always do when we are asked to photograph local events. It is our way of giving back to the community. I will just leave it at that. No need to air dirty laundry.

Heh, yeah, you would think after asking the camera club to come out and photograph they wouldn't have felt the need to hire someone but... *shrug*

A couple of our members do, but we don't do it as a group. When we volunteer and give the photos away, it's for charity. Currently we do the Polar Plunge, Du Run Run, and Winter Rec Fest. This was the first year of the Fitness Festival. With the current bad feelings regarding the company that was hired, there's a good chance we won't be doing it again, which is unfortunate because the people really appreciate the photos we do.

I've turned the photos I took over to the Park and Rec department and the rest of the camera club's should be there this week. I'm hoping they'll get a gallery up soon. When I wrote my original message, there was some question of whether they would be putting them on the web so I wanted to catch the attention of everyone searching the web for them to let them know one way or another we'd be getting our photos out there. But now the Park & Rec dept has said they will be putting them online so they should be going either on http://www.lacrossefitnessfestival.com or http://cityoflacrosse.org . They haven't given me an ETA but we're giving them thousands of photos so it might take them a while before they can get them posted. If they aren't up by next week, I'll check back with them to see if I can get an ETA.
