La Crosse Fitness Festival photos

Are you looking for photos of the La Crosse Fitness Festival? If so keep an eye on the La Crosse Area Camera Club's website. We took thousands (estimates are over ten thousand) of photos of all areas of the Fitness Festival and will be sharing them as fast as we are able. There is some question as to whether they will be on the city's website or camera club's so keep checking for more information.

Edit May 2, 2010: This post was from 2009 but we've done it again. Photos for 2010 will be available soon!

Michelle, you also should check out the professional photographers website who was hired by the festival to photograph the event. Their site is www.photosbyartisticeye.com

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.

Let see, pay for photos or get them free..........HHMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Sounds like a no-brainer to me! It's great to have your camera club around Michelle and people doing the work for FREE.

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*

Re: La Crosse Fitness Festival photos

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.

Re: La Crosse Fitness Festival photos

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.

Re: La Crosse Fitness Festival photos

Just a note to say they still aren't available and they've ignored my email. We have a planning meeting tomorrow night and I'll be talking to some other members to decide what to do. Though enough time has passed that folks probably aren't all that interested anymore. Sad I'm really disappointed in how this was handled and it looks like the camera club isn't going to be supporting the park & rec department anymore outside of the Polar Plunge.

Re: La Crosse Fitness Festival photos

Here we are 7 months later and the photos are finally up!

http://www.lacrossefitnessfestival.com/photos/2009_iframe.html

I found out from someone calling me out of the blue today wanting to know if he could buy the photo of him, which he liked better than that of the professional photographer. Awesome ego boost but also ticked me off that the Festival organizers didn't bother letting us know the photos were online. I'd given up looking months ago.
