Thanks for sharing BobbyJ Photos , Just A Guy With A Camera 👌🏻
I’ve been apart of the D6 & ECEA community since 2007, while I started out racing AND NEVER ONCE being photographed I decided to pick up a camera and find the intriguing spots that many may never stumble upon.
I LOVE what I do but I cannot say enough how under appreciated us photographers are. If you can pay all that money to race, you might as well have a life time memory of it as well. Hell- the spots we capture are sure better than your piece of plastic / souvenir / (9 times out of 10 even the payout) 
Please take this in a Positive manner
I Have been around 13 years in different series capturing Race day memories...over the years I have seen many excited 📸 photographers come and go...
Their passions grow Short and they just simply fade away...
When you ask them what happened its almost always the same answer...camera failures and lack of sales
Camera equipment takes an ass beating in the sport we love, just like the race machines, repairs are costly
That's where the 2nd part kicks in...lack of sales...knowing equipment takes an ass beating in say the cameras worst enemy, water and dust..one makes a choice...for lack of sales it's not worth putting my gear through it...so the camera folks don't cover say the quad races because well....lack of sales for their efforts and quads kick up way more dust which destroys cameras quicker than almost anything else
So in short....with the world of screen captures taking over...photographers even have less sales for their days efforts
I talked to 2 beautiful personalities carrying cameras in your series....when 1 hangs out and shoots near 1000 shots during tough sledding in the dust and her efforts award her 1 sale...something just ain't right
Refer back to paragraph 1....2 things make camera folks walk away
Equipment failure and lack of sales
It may right now now seem like a big deal, but one day there will sadly be no one capturing the race day memories for those s8mple 2 reasons
Again, please take this in a positive manner...do what you can do to help reward those few out there capturing the Memories!!
Thanks for Listening
