LES
PHOTOS
So here you are, looking for that Photo Album
that we speak of. If you're a member of our MTB or ski
clubs and have a username and password, scroll all the ay down, click on the 'GO'
button to your right and get right to it.
In out album, we have all the pictures we take on everyone
of our outings. Saying we have a lot of pictures on here
is putting it mildly... at last estimate we were at 80
gigs of photos and movies.
It all started with Matt Goyer (mattgoyer.com) a good
friend and computer aficionado (nice word for super geek)
and JF (the guy next to Nick above) taking pictures here
and there... Enter uber-camera-guy Gavin... And that's
when everything spun out of control. We got better, smaller
cameras, larger memory cards and Matt started hosting
out pictures on a server... That's when we happened upon
a new friend, Dean II (as we'll refer to him from this
point forth) Dean II happened to have a knack for movie
editing... So movies we started taking... and here we
sit with 80 gigs of pictures and movies on this thing.
Huge.
As you know (or are about to find-out), our Photo Album
is now password protected due to privacy issues, weirdo
sightings and copyright concerns. Since the picture taking
has become such a large part of our mountain-bike and
ski & snowboard experience well... It came down to
either curtailing our snap shots or do something like
this. We obviously chose the latter. And almost everyone
is happy. (because you do know that some people, you just
can't make happy... They're simply miserable. they are
a big reason this thing is password protected in the first
place).
I know this is going to peeve some people off, us putting
this password thing up, already a few people have sent
us nasty Emails... So let me repeat myself: All pictures
are the copyrighted property of the people who took them
and of their subjects. They are not public property and
we have no legal obligation to make them available for
public consumption. (we talked to lawyer folk and they
concur).
So here's the deal; People who we've taken pictures of,
parents of people who we've taken pictures of, family
members, Gord's Mountain Bike Club members and Gord's
Ski Club Members have automatic and unrestricted access
to the photo album (only fair since all of the pics are
of them, and by them) All you have to do is Email JF@Gords.com
and he'll supply you with credentials... Should you, John
Q. Internet Surfer wish to peruse our albums, it's simple,
join our MTB club! It's a measly $49.00 a year. includes
a Gord's water bottle and some great deals AND it gets
you a username and password for our photo album. NO WE'RE
NOT SELLING ACCESS TO OUR PICTURES (as some erroneous
individual once eluded to) We're just making sure privacy
issues are respected.
Password in hand, Hit the GO button or click HERE
to continue on to the Photo Album... But be forewarned,
some pictures (like the one of Geoff skiing) may prove
offensive to some viewers.
