As some of you may or may not know, i'm a photographer. I've been doing it for nearly 10 years (which enables me to conveniently say 'half my life'), i enjoy it, and frankly i'm good enough at it to turn it into a lucrative business. Specifically sports photography. But i'm not here to toot my own horn.

I obviously also love cycling. A few summers ago i started a business with a pretty common business model. Via an agreement with the league i would photograph individuals "in action" during little league games. I would market my service to parents before and after the game directing them to my website that has a streamlined ordering system where you can order standard prints as well as many other items (buttons, coffee mugs...you name it).

I've thus far been very successful (much more than i anticipated) and i'd like to continue doing this but i'd also like to incorporate my other love (cycling). Photographing adults for sales has come up before when i discuss it with other photographers and the general consensus is that there simply isn't as much money in it. This is understandable as parents of little league kids are going to be much more interested in owning photos of their kids than an individual might be of owning a photo of him/herself as an adult.

None the less, if i won a race (perhaps my first race) i'd love to have a photo of me crossing the finish line. If i crashed, i'd love to own that picture of that nasty wreck in '08. So i pose the following question to you: Would you or your family be interested in purchasing photographs of you before, during, and after race events?

*EDIT*

Allow me to add that the way i have done this whole thing thus far does not require any commitment on your end. I simply show up and photograph what's there. If you like something, you can buy it. This doesn't mean that you can't tell me to pay more attention to one thing or the other, it's just that i am not asking anything of you in any regard prior to you owning a photograph.
