Do It Again

Ahh September-  Cooler weather, back-to-school, and a last few weeks that DC United fans can cling to the mathematical possibility of post-season play.  More importantly, September means that it is time to crank up the FotoFink machine and do it again, for what will be our 5th consecutive year of snapping and selling.

Before this goes any further- Steely Dan......  was really a different band outside of the studio.  Generally there is a lot to like about live clips, and they are the preferred option on most of the blog posts.  That last one though..... blecchh.  Here-  try this.

So what's new?  Glad you asked....

The Lady Royals Field Hockey team opened with a strong, 2-0 victory over Wyoming Area.  Last season, this one went to extra time, so draw your own conclusions about the prospects for this upcoming campaign.  Here at FF, we are happy to see the Royals earn a victory, but also pleased to have some photo interest from the Warrior faithful- there are no losers here.

You may see a few changes in the world of FotoFink- most notably, a slight price increase.  Before the panic sets in, let's realize two important factors.  First off, prints are still significantly less here than on many or all similar sites.  Just not ridiculously so any longer.  Second, we are introducing discount coupons for early purchases, which should temper the blow of the price increase.  See the notes in the gallery for details on using the coupon.  Take note also of the fact that the price has not changed on any of the older prints, yet.  Hints do not get any more clear than that.

Our horizons continue to broaden as well- in recent months, we've begun shooting equestrian events, and with the help of an accomplished staff (Really.  Staff.) we were able to offer same-day, on-site printing for those events.  Our wedding business has tripled this year (it was pretty small to start out with...), once again with the help of a second shooter on the special day.  Senior portraits?  Happy to, thanks very much.  Contact us for more info on any of those events.

Marketing wedding photography to high school girls may not be the most brilliant idea ever, but....... maybe you have older siblings.  Hopefully, FF will still be here on your wedding day also.

Lastly from here- an update on the lifelong project.  You are surely thinking "Steely Dan.....  He's been busy!", and you are very wrong.  In truth, the CD burner on my laptop has taken a turn for the worse, and is now a pop-out cup holder.  The lifelong project of converting LPs to digital can continue without it, but it is far more complicated that way.  For now, things are on hold.  Blog posts will continue to feature song titles, but they will come from all over the place now.  Hopefully, with fewer restrictions, the level of music will improve.

So did anything interesting happen at the game?  Thanks for asking.....

In sports photography, backgrounds often are what they are.  Pittston's soccer fields are some of the best in the area.  At Wyoming Area, the bus parking is in about the worst place possible.  These folks are probably not any more happy about the game in their front yard than we are about their lovely home in the background either.

Sisterly joy during the ball carry.  Nice.

Kelly must be thrilled that FotoFink has returned.

4 out of 5 dentists agree- these things work better when they are actually in your mouth.

Memo to the equipment manager- two number 26's really confuses some of us.

Photos?  Sure.

Holy Redeemer at Wyoming Area

Many more games, etc.

Enjoy!
