A few years ago when JJ Lane and Jim Smith were track photographers a lady would come and shoot from the stands , she would then offer her pictures for sale via internet purchases, JJ and Jim had a photo stand set up where everyone could buy images.This photographer was not credentialed and did not shoot for any media source other then taking potential sales away from the track photographers.I understand people like to take pictures and thats fine, but many or most tracks have rules in place regarding photo sales, it also has to do with respect, by outsiders showing up and taking pictures for the sole purpose of selling them is totally undermining the tracks photographers.
