Mary Poppins has been one in the past for me that did not have a photographer & then Terk at the wine & dine 5k did not either. Oh and at the marathon a few years ago Chip & Dale at WWOS didn't have one either. I've heard sometimes it's a copyright issue like with Mary Poppins & Terk (which I don't really understand why since they use them in the parks)and then with Chip & Dale someone just didn't show up. I always run with my own small camera just in case as the cast member will use it.
