Abstract
A process for providing event photographs for inspection, selection and distribution via a computer network generally includes the steps of taking event photographs, associating identifying data with each photograph taken, transferring the photographs to a computer network server, and permitting access to the server for searching of a particular photograph utilizing the identifying data. The identifying data can include a name of an event participant, a number corresponding to a number worn by the event participant, the date and time the photograph was taken, or a code captured from a component as it passes a sensor. Such a component can be passive or active and can include a bar code, inductive device or an electronic transmitting device which is worn by the event participant. The event participants are informed of the identifying data by posting the identifying data associated with each photograph so that it is made available to the participants of the event for later use in searching the server. The photographs are cataloged in the server according to the identifying data and can be subsequently ordered using the server which is typically an Internet web-site.
