I have never purchased pictures in the past after a 70.3 or 140.6 race, knowing that the prices are fairly high, but at Vineman 70.3 my fiance and I had the unique opportunity to cross the finish line within a minute of each other two weeks ago. Since we were in the finish area at the same time, it was an opportunity to get our official pictures taken together in front of the little backdrop. I was just looking to see how much it would cost to just download that one picture, and for a cool $25.99 I can purchase the soft copy. I am not a photo pricing analyst, but I think this feels way out of whack. I know they have to cover themselves and make a living, and my guess is they do this through selling packages, but I can't think they sell many of these $26 photos. I could be wrong of course.
I would probably pay $10-$15 for the picture I think, but it is tough to spend more out of principle.
No real point to this post, just a little vent.
