Allow me to be a kill-joy here but copyrighted pictures are not of that much use to the class as a whole. Afterall, we create event galleries on the www.formula16.org website to show how active we are; among other things.

So is it possible that Travis Edwards can decopyright the pics for that usage. Can anyone ask ?

If not, then did anybody make personal pictures that he is willing to donate to the class ?

If so then I would like to have those for our F16 website and promo material.

I like paid photographers just fine as long as its doesn't result in private persons not making any pics (because there is already a photographer there) and ending up with a blank in the official F16 galleries.

We have been down this road before with respect to the A-cat/F16 invitational. Photographer then refused any usage of his photos unless being paid. Is it Gulfport policy to have professional photographers ? If so then can we arrange for somebody else to take picture for us in the future ?

I'm truly sorry and I don't intent any disrespect to mr. Edwards, but that is just the way it works out for a class without a promo budget (as we have no membership fees) like our F16 class.
