Model T Bicycle Rentals began taking photos in 2005 solely as a means of security in case an unscrupulous guest drove off in a Model T Horseless Carriage. Often after a guest returned Model T’s equipment, their photo was digitally erased. However, as more guests started to request copies of these photos be emailed to them, Model T tried to accommodate these requests. Then problems started. . .Model T had trouble identifying which photos went to which guests and in some cases email addresses couldn’t be read.
After the 2005 debacle, Model T decided not to offer photos in 2006. However, once again the demand for souvenir photos was great. While Model T didn’t have a system established for dealing with this problem, we did out best to keep photos from 2006. Model T was unable to save all photos from 2006. During busier periods, Model T didn’t have enough digital camera sticks to accommodate all photos.
In 2007, Model T finally found a way to publish photos on the internet. The process was slow and prohibitively time-consuming. To make matters worse, the photos weren’t secured and some unscrupulous online entrepreneurs used these photos to redirect traffic to their websites ( a process known as “phishing”). Worse, some of these websites contained adult content. Upon learning this, Model T stopped posting photos online until we could figure a way to offer photos that could be secured.
Regretably, just like in 2006, some 2007 photos may have been lost due to not enough photo storage. To those who can’t find their photo, we ask that you take a second look. If you still can’t find your photo, then its likely lost. We apologize for this inconvenience.
