[Land-speed] Bonneville photo link

[drmayf]

I, likewise, was not aware of the photographer. But it jacks my jaws 
that someone has taken a picture of my car ans is selling it without MY 
persmission.  I do not care if he gives them away but selling something 
that I do not consider int he public domain, since I have to pay entry 
fees, to be permitted to run and the photographer had to pay at least a 
fee to be on the salt. And this photo was at the pick up area after a 
run so how did he get there? And who give the photographer permission to 
take and sell pictures. Again, without my knowledge.
