Actually- there was not much to rant about this past week. the one postponement of note was the Icebreaker Relays, which keeps a glimmer of hope alive that there will be some photos.... depending on the reschedule date. If anyone hears of that, passing that info on would be appreciated. Considering how busy the Spring schedule is, pushing these events back has to catch up with us at some point, so its actually good to get them "in the camera" even if we get behind with edits and posts.
Our musical reference this week is Meat Loaf- a long-time favorite here at FotoFink. Lots of fond memories of the first major release, "Bat Out Of Hell"- long before "Paradise By The Dashboard Light" became a karaoke staple. Sadly, none of those memories are suitable for sharing here.... Its actually not a completely random reference- During a long night of editing photos, HDNet, the cable channel, had a Meat Loaf concert playing- the show is called something about "Three Bats", and if you are at all a fan, I recommend it highly.
If you'll permit me a bit of a tangent here- (this whole blog is a tangent....) Here's a question - Is karaoke really just Satan's way of ruining our music? That's my theory....
So what happened this week? Glad you asked-
Wilkes kept us busy with Lacrosse, Baseball and Tennis game/matches at various times during the week. Check here for some samples of that work, since it is not sold on the FotoFink site.
Redeemer v Lehman track on Tuesday was a huge shoot, as we were able to encourage our long-lost staffer to come out of hiding for a day. Track meets are far easier to shoot with 2 people- I may have noted in the past that when I am alone, I always feel like I should be somewhere else.... usually on the other side of the track. This outing felt much more sane. Sadly, no Jav though...
The high jump is always a great photo op. Since Katy is a former competitor in that event, it was decided to let her shoot it. She found a great angle that I have overlooked in the past, which worked well for the traditional jumpers. To no one's surprise, Nicole is not a traditional jumper. Hard to find fault in success though, as I believe she won the event that day.
Love these throwing events. Love them.
This is fun to shoot too.... I have really missed track.
We also got a taste of Wyoming Area Softball for the first time. This is a relatively small gallery, as there are some access issues on that field that we are trying to iron out for next time. Enjoy what we have for now, hopefully there will be more to follow.
I know it is still cold and all, with winter lingering this year... but when I see this, I can't help but think of this.
We paid a visit to Crestwood volleyball on Friday, as they swept the visiting Cougars of Hazleton. Crestwood volleyball continues to mature, with last year's extremely young team growing into this year's very young team. It would seem that there is such potential for these young men in the next season or two.
What is it about volleyball.... ?
Also in the volleyball world, the Wyoming Valley West marathon/tournament was Saturday, which gave us a chance for photos of several teams on our lists- Holy Redeemer, Crestwood, Coughlin... I had the pleasure of meeting a Lake Lehman player in the stands, and was encouraged to get a few shots of their squad as well.
Once again- something about volleyball. My favorite comment- "If he were my kid, they'd call him Lefty" Lost on us at the time was the fact that it was a fake.
Volleyball again.... Wow.
Lastly, Sunday was filled with more Irish Step Dancers- and I continue to become addicted to this music and activity. Shots from this event will likely take a few more days to post, so check back for some notes on those.
Looking ahead- we have a week filled with Wilkes softball (Tuesday) Holy Redeemer/Coughlin soccer (Wednesday) Holy Redeemer Softball (Thursday) and Holy Redeemer Junior High Track (Friday). Finally, Saturday will see the return of the Photobooth at a sweet sixteen party. Most of that is weather dependent, of course, but it does look as if the snow may be over...
For now-
Redeemer at Lehman track
Lehman at Wyoming Area Softball
Hazleton at Crestwood Volleyball
WVW Volleyball Tournament
Emerald Isle Step Dancers (As of this post, the newest shots are not yet on the site- but they will be soon!)
All the FotoFink excitement
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
