I am often asked....

....by folks at the track why I don't become a legitimate Photographer. There are multiple personal reasons but there is one glaring reason....I often waste hours of my time looking thru the 81224 images in my Motorsports collection for a particular image for someone....once I find this image I will contact this person only to have them never return my message. I recently had a racer tell me that they wanted a particular image. I explained to them that I would simply upload the file to the Costco of their choosing and they could go pick it up. If they liked it, next time they saw me at the track just throw me a couple of bucks. Never heard back from them. Had another racer ask me if I had any images of him. He told me what races he attended. Spent about 2 hours digging thru 18k images...editing the real crisp shots. Exported them to a file on my desktop. Told him I had 85 or so nice shots of his car. Never heard back from him. Have been handing out business cards to folks. One particular racer asked me if I could make his images a priority. I took 3500 images that weekend. Spent a couple of hours on the following Monday combing thru all the images, looking just for his images. Made a collection of just these particular images...that was 7-8 weeks ago.
