Has anyone else seen the pictures?  I thought for sure that there would be some great photos from the finish on the bridge, but they are terrible.  There are no pictures of the bike at all, and one of me AFTER I crossed the finish line at a terrible angle, barely even showing the bridge.

I was really wanting to purchase some of these photos, but that's pathetic.  Is this just me?

It's not just you. The pics are horrible. I saw at least 4 photographers out on various parts of the bike course, but the vast majority of pictures are in one corner just before T2. I did the relay with a couple of friends. Four run pics, one bike pic, and zero of our swimmer. With digital cameras and the huge storage capability they have, there should be a LOT more to choose from.

The quality of the pics from Jack's races has really gone down lately.

Is this Jack's fault?  I figured this was the City of Waco's fault.  The city hires Jack to run the race, but everything else is run by the city...or so I heard.

Hmm my avatar is from one of his races.  It's the only picture I've ever paid for.  I think it's pretty darn good.  I think it's hit or miss usually.  What company did the pics for this race?

My pics were awful. Two dark ones of me at finish line that you cant see any scenery and you can't even recognize its me its so dark...

 

My dad (sprinter) had a cool one riding his bike across the bridge and coming out of the swim. I wonder if the photographers called it a day before us Olympic folk finished up.

Mine were lame too... only pics from the finish line although I did find a bike pic in the lost and found.  No swim pic.  And what's up with the photographers taking pics from our RIGHT side when all the tattoos were on the LEFT.... I mean it looked like the entire race of swimmers and bikers were in the lost and found because there was no way they could see our numbers from where they were taking the picture.    A whole bunch of the swim pics were of the volunteers pulling people out of the water off that rock shelf, who would want a picture of that, they were awful!  Oh, the company was Celebrated Images.  Not impressed.

Agree. I had one picture at the finish line.
Would have thought they would have tried to frame the picture with the arches.
