Dear Mr. Manion,
Is video footage from the Olympia and Arnold expos against IFBB policy? I had read your press release regarding contest footage but I saw no notification indicating that expo footage was not allowed. Thank you for any clarification you may have on this.

Matt,
Can you please tell me how you are aware of a press release sent to magazines concerning footage at contests?
Sincerely,
Jim Manion

Dear Mr. Manion,
I may have used the term "press release" incorrectly. Here is the document I was referring to:
http://www.ifbbpro.com/news/advisory-notice-082009Are there any other releases I should be familiar with? I would like to cover IFBB expos but do not wish to violate any of the federation's rules. Any information you may have would be greatly appreciated.

Matt,
That would be up to the promoter if he will permit you to take footage at the expo. I sincerely doubt they are going to allow someone with a camera to be filming at the expo. You will have to check with the individual promoters of the events.

Dear Mr. Manion,
Thank you for sending me in the right direction. I have contacted Matt Lorz
of Lorz Communications, Inc., representing Arnold Sports Festival Media Relations and he has given me the necessary media permissions requested.
I will remember your help if a getbig thread pops up regarding your salary. It's laughable how jealous these guys are. They just have no clue how much goes on behind the scenes. Even something as minor as acquiring the proper media credentials gives me an appreciation for what you do.
