Where Do You Think You're Going?

As Fall approaches, preparations are underway here at the house of FotoFink.  In general, this is shaping up to be the busiest season ever, thanks to girls' soccer moving to a fall season.  (Who thought that was a good idea?  I have my theory....)  In order to keep things sane, and so Mrs FotoFink isn't constantly asking "Where do you think you're going?"...  here is the official, written in ink, shooting schedule for the fall season.

A few items of note.....

"Written in ink" is a bit tongue in cheek.  It's going to rain.  Hopefully not like last year, but still... it's going to rain.  This schedule is more of a framework.

36 or 37 stops in about 2 months.  36 different teams covered, although... preference is definitely shown to the ones who have shown interest (bought photos) in the past.  Favored teams include Holy Redeemer and Wyoming Area Field Hockey, HR and Crestwood Soccer, HR and CW Volleyball, and HR Football.  The teams from Wilkes will also be well represented.  Interested in having more coverage for your team?  Want to schedule a session for team, individual or senior photos?  Contact me- sfinkernagel@hotmail.com, and we can discuss what it takes to make the list.

Added to the list are HR tennis, which has never been covered, and HR Cross Country, which has had very sparse coverage in the past.  Tennis is actually tentative, pending my contact with that program, but I hope to be able to include them in the mix for the first time ever.

Noticeably absent from the list are the West Pittson Rams.  I deeply regret that the Rams board and I were not able to come to terms with issues surrounding field access and photo sales, and as a result, the difficult decision was made to eliminate the Rams photos for the coming season.  I have truly enjoyed my time shooting both the football and cheer groups there, and the friendships that have resulted.  Rams photos from years past will remain on the site, but... not forever.  Count on them being removed sometime after 10/1.

A few changes to the site this year as well.  Most importantly, photos will no longer be available forever.  At some point after the season, photos will be removed, so shoppers will have a deadline to make their decisions.  That window will be generous, but not indefinite.  Plenty of warning will be given.

Our photo above truly is the lovely Mrs. FotoFink, running in the "Color Me Rad" 5k race in June.  It doesn't really fit the theme at all... but it was one of the more interesting shoots from the summer.  Our musical link is another Dire Straits track- Happy Birthday to Mark Knopfler, who turns 63 on the day of this post.

Nothing new on the site for most of our readers, but for you nostalgia buffs- Here is the whole thing- www.fotofink.net

Enjoy!
