A photo of me riding my bike showed up in an online magazine article... reverse google image searching traces the image back to Getty.
The photo is far better than any of the official photos from the event and it would make a nice memento from the day. Is it cheeky to contact the photographer and ask for a high res copy? I'm always confused about ownership of image rights, but the guy clearly makes his living from sports photography so I feel a bit bad about asking him for a free copy... On the other hand, he's clearly managed to sell a photo of me at least once and I don't remember anyone asking me permission.
