Re: On photographs and FVC competitions...
At the risk of not having a fully formed thought, I'd like to offer as much of it as I can at the moment.
For many years, the Austin community loved and supported a Mr. Lance Armstrong in his athletic endeavors. It is my thinking that he felt comfortable here and had his space, enabling him to develop, train, grow.
We talk the talk of being an athletic sports event, trying to gain that respect and global understanding. In order to help do that, the athletes have to have the space to compete and to train. They are in the fish bowl enough without members of their community adding to it. This team wants their privacy until they choose to release the information as they choose. We should respect that and respect the competition and the newness of this sport.

We will all win in the end.
