Yeah, all this photography/filming of training sessions is getting a bit rediculous.
I understand why people would want to do it a race meets... (we all love a good picture of ourselves when we've got numbers on our backs!)... but don't really understand why people would want to film/photograph plain old training sessions.
Another thing I've noticed, is that no one ever seems to ask your permission. If someone wants to film me or take photos, I have no real problem with that. Sometimes I just wonder what they are doing it for, and if I'm going to appear on something that I dont really want to be associated with... If you get my drift?
I think it would be polite if the parties involved would let everyone know what the film/photos are being used for.
The 5th floor crew seemed to be using saturdays session to film footage for a promo of some kind (is there anything they won't promote?).... I knew one of the guys doing the filming, so asked what it was for, but if I hadn't of asked, I wouldn't have known any better! As I said earlier, I'm not massivley fussed by it, but I'm sure some people would be.
Dont you need release forms for this kind of thing?
