Hey all -- just wanted to share a new thing that we have tried here in New England. We hosted the New England Masters SCY Champs a week or two ago (about 620 swimmers this year, a bit small). As something new this year, we had a professional photographer at the meet snapping pictures. These pictures are all online and available for purchase. This is a practice that is very popular at triathlons, but I've never seen it done at a swim meet before. We're eager to see how well it works out, and to hear if anyone else has ever thought about this.
For those interested, everything is linked from the meet web site:

There are just over 1500 pictures available from the meet. Yup - one thousand five hundred.

Rick,
Good idea! I took candid photos at the 2003 and 2004 Colony Zone Meets for the Colonies Zone Website (which are at low resolution). They are at the Zone site (2004) by clicking here and the 2003 pictures may be found by clicking here. I took them between my events ... while doing that, the same thought came to my mind this year and last year. (In fact, the officials were very nice about when I told them the purpose of my picture taking.) In addition, it would be nice to see some more pix available on such sites as you mentioned.

P.S.
Also, having a photog around would be especially nice for something else ... team pictures. How many times does the person in the camera left out because he's holding the camera?
