Re: [RC] Tevis photos - Laney Humphrey

The original post about Dominique Coignee's website/tevis pix was confusing. the link to the actual site for the pix was further down in the post and not live but it is there and the password is "sprint."

Jeanne,

It costs just as much to take the photo for a "snapshot" 4x6 as it does for a 20x30, same amount of post-production and same equipment cost, the difference in the cost to print the photo is relatively negligible in comparison. A lot of photographers don't even sell small ones, they start at 5x7 or offer the small ones for the same price as 5x7s. Imagine that you spend $5K or so for equipment that you almost always only use where there is dust and dirt? It doesn't last as long as in a studio. I won't bore you with the rest of the cost of doing business, including gaining the mastery to make consistently good images, not "happy snaps"). (My tax guy says, what business fails most often? restaurants, as most people could guess. what's number 2? photographers. Mostly due to poor business sense.)

A friend of mine was one of the official photographers, worked 21 hrs that day. Here's her e-mail, you can see whether she's got a web gallery up (yet). She was at Devil's Thumb among other places, and I think she did the Hwy 89 stuff. cristy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You are right that Cogneé's site has no apparent Tevis proofs or images available, tried with a couple different browsers.

Personally, one day when I hopefully get to do Tevis, part of my planning would include budgeting for great imagery--capturing, as you said, that moment that will never be repeated.

 >>Went to her site but couldn't locate pics
from Tevis ?Anyone else been able to open file?
Does anyone know who was taking
photos at the snow crossing?Didn't see any
at the awards but may have missed them.
One comment about the photogs...I know
they have expenses to get there etc..but
I still think $15 for a snaphot is pretty
steep .One guy was complaining that not
many people were buying his pics but geez,
after all the money spent getting there,some
of us just don't have much left over for
the frills!Saw 4 shots of me & Ali but would
have cost me over $100 to get them all,2 of
them were $25 each...!I know the Cougar Rock
pic will cost a bundle..sigh..I think I paid
$20 for my first one(&$10 for the B&W)But I
Do love to have the pics & appreciate the
 folks behind the cameras for being there
to capture a moment that'll never be repeated.
