New Beginning


It is a certainty in sports that all seasons end.  For a team without playoff opportunities, the timing of the end is known in advance.  For teams that make playoffs, the end usually comes with a loss, and is usually hard to swallow.  Both of these points held true for the Lady Royals on Tuesday, as they dropped an overtime thriller to Tunkhannock by a 1-0 margin. 

Although I am far from an expert in Field Hockey (really, really far) this game didn't seem to be headed towards this ending.  HR seemed to control most of the play through regulation, but just couldn't finish.  I was attempting to get pictures of Courtney, our goalie, and found that there were very few times that the ball was near her.  As the game headed to overtime, it felt like another day at the office for the Royals- they'd been to OT six times during the year, winning five of them.  This looked to be just one more.  To my surprise, it was Tunkhannock who capitalized on an opportunity in extra time, and ended HR's season with a jolt.

I know what you are all thinking- all this talk about ending, how is he going to wrap this around to a New Beginning?  Thanks for asking-


It didn't take long for me to get an impression of this team this year.  I had been to only a few Field Hockey games before this, but even I could tell that there was something afoot here.  After a one-win season last year, this team started out with a new coaching staff, some new players (thanks to transfers and graduations from 8th grade) and a new attitude.  As much as this season is over, I sense that this season was just the first step of  a new beginning, one where Redeemer competes at the top of this conference instead of the bottom.  Time will tell.


For now, the senior girls enjoyed more success than their prior class did.  The younger girls have a lot to look forward to, including some off-season training.  Tunkhannock earned the right to be Lehman's first step towards greatness (How about that article, and the line about the Lehman goalie who should have brought her homework to the game!  Judging from the comments, the Tunkhannock parents were not so amused).  Perhaps most importantly, we all have time now to support the 7th & 8th grade team, which is making a deep run into their post-season.


A few quick thoughts-


This game was sloppy- not so much from a skill standpoint, but from a dirty muddy mess standpoint.  That makes for more interesting pictures though.  It also makes it a really bad day to lose a shoe.


Fittingly, I am able to close out this season with yet another unflattering picture of Kelly Dougherty.  I promise that I am not trying, but it's becoming amusing.  To me anyway.  Hopefully Kelly is on board with that too-  we all have our moments.


I am not so sure that I would call it unflattering, but let's just hope that this is not Allie's best side...


If there was ever any doubt that these girls play hard (there wasn't) these pictures ought to cast that aside- have a look at Marnie and Ashley in those shots.


Someday, the alien mothership is going to land, and come across a field hockey goalie.  This should be enough for them to turn around and pick another planet to invade.


Finally, a word of thanks.  I am grateful for the warm welcome this team has provided me, and the support that you have shown here by buying pictures.  Shooting the games, and getting to know some of you has been a lot of fun for me, and I hope you are all happy with the way things worked out.  In addition to some picture sales, I have also come to enjoy a new appreciation of this sport.  Next season we work on the rules....

Is That You, Mo-Dean?


Thanks to an interesting chain of events, the ever-expanding world of FotoFink now includes 2 USTA girls travel soccer teams, which our staff had the pleasure of shooting this past weekend.  Since many of you may be visiting for the first time, this will be a quick primer on what's happening here.

FotoFink is a website that is used to show and sell photos, mostly of youth sports from here in the Wyoming Valley.  There is a little more background available at the FAQ page, which you can also access from many pages on the site itself.  You are now reading the companion blog, where I get to introduce the photos and share some thoughts about the process.  After my rants, there are links at the bottom to the galleries themselves, which is where you can view, share, and purchase photos.

First off, thanks need to go out to Sam Falcone for helping to set this up.  I usually don't take pictures anywhere that I am not invited, and he was kind enough to invite me, and promote the site to the rest of the parents.  Hopefully this will be good for everyone.  I got to spend a sunny day outdoors shooting soccer, so I'm already happy.

Many of you may want to narrow down the number of photos to just see your favorite player, so on the site,  there is a search box on each page where you can type your player's first name.  In theory, this will take you to a group of photos that only include that player.  Realistically, you are better off paging through the whole gallery and looking for yourself.  Tagging the photos with the player's names is not as easy as it sounds- especially in the U14 game.  Consider that there is no number on the front of those uniforms, there are some numbers on the shorts (but it turns out they are from the U15 game and don't match up), and some of the numbers are not on the roster at all- you can imagine the task of trying to figure out who is who.  It left me wondering, is that you Mo-Dean? for many of the girls.  Long story short- page through to find your players.  Don't trust the search box.

The music links are a long story- if you care, you can read some older posts to get a feel for what that's all about.  If you don't care, then  well....  just pretend it didn't happen.

I did my best to include everyone, but I am not sure how well that worked out.  With over 500 pictures from the 2 games, I' like to think that the law of averages will work out to see that everyone is included, but I missed someone, please accept my apology and know that it was unintentional.  If the response is strong, perhaps another game will be in the future.  Let me know if you feel slighted, I'll try to make it up.

Ok- enough from me.  If you have questions, start at the FAQ page.  If you still have questions, contact me at sfinkernagel@hotmail.com.  Here are the galleries- I hope you enjoy them!

Back In The Saddle


Blog watchers may have noticed an extended absence from posting lately- rest assured that all is well.  Things are a little too busy here in the land of FotoFink- most of our favorite teams had requested staff members for their senior night galas, and with seasons coming to a close, there is always that push to get "just one more game" in the archives.  To make a long story short- the backlog of photos to edit has been staggering.  With so much photoshop work to do, spending time on a blog entry seemed frivolous.

So now that the blog is updating, FotoFink is back in the saddle, (nice camera work on that link, eh?) can we assume that things are caught up?  Of course not- It's playoff time!  A quick update seems appropriate now, however, just to keep the world spinning on it's axis for a few more days.

You may wonder about the picture above, so here's an explanation- Since this post encompasses so many games, it seemed unfair to include any one as the lead photo- so here was a chance to do something a little different.   My observation, after taking a lot of your senior night pictures, is that as a rule, cheerleaders make pictures better.  Lets hope the same holds true for blog entries.

In the spirit of brevity- I'll make a few general points and then link to lots of new galleries-

First, in case I haven't said it enough, thanks for all of your support of this project.  Sales are coming in at a record pace, and I am hearing lots of positive comments when I see you all on the sidelines.  This hobby/obsession/business is something I enjoy, and it is nice to feel that you all do too.

Second, as the playoffs progress, rest assured I will do whatever I can to make as many of your games as possible.  Time, work, conflicting game schedules, games in far-off places all add some difficulty to that, but I have come to enjoy being at your games and watching your teams compete.  Hopefully that will continue for a while for most of you.

Third, with the fall seasons wrapping up, thoughts are turning to winter sports.  The strategy that I had this fall seemed to work well- Target a handful of teams that are interested in pictures, and make sure to get to enough of their games to get most/all of the players.  This fall, those teams were HR, Coughlin, and Crestwood Soccer, HR Field Hockey, HR Football, and HR Volleyball.  I'd like to employ a similar strategy this winter.  I have some ties to Holy Redeemer, so I am sure I will make some of their basketball games, but other than that-  I am open for suggestions.  If you have players at a particular sport or event that you would like to see enshrined here at FF, please contact me (sfinkernagel@hotmail.com).  I am open to all suggestions- If you think you'll buy 'em, I'll snap 'em.  School stuff, Travel teams, Dome games- whatever.

Lastly, as Christmas approaches, I have historically gotten a lot of requests for the collage-type posters that are on the site.  I only do these by request, because of the time and effort involved, so if you have interest, contact me (sfinkernagel@hotmail.com).  The earlier the better.  Here is a link to an entry I made last year that provides some pricing and info.  This link will take you to some examples of what can be done.

Too much time for me on this already-  Here are all the galleries posted since the last entry-

Melissa


Regular readers will know that volleyball has a special place here at FotoFink.  Two of my sons played, so I became a bit of a fan (although I still don't understand all the rules), and from a photographic standpoint, dark gyms and fast action present challenges that I have come to enjoy.  Knowing all this, it is no surprise really that our staff was out shooting the HoRe/DeVa volleyball match- two undefeated teams, nearing the end of the season, this was as big as they come in that regard.  What might be surprising though, is why this post is titled for one of the opponents players?  Who is this Melissa?

There are two reasons, really.  First, in keeping with my theme of post titles that match my analog-to-digital music conversion project, it give me a chance to throw in some Allman Brothers.  That's never a bad idea.  Second, in watching this game, there was something strangely familiar about #6, but I couldn't quite put a finger on it.  Then it hit me.  This past spring, at the boy's match, DeVa brought a line judge that caught the attention of all the healthy young males on the squad (Check out the 5th paragraph on this entry for my comments at the time).  This line judge was, of course, Melissa, now returning in an arguably more important role.  After such an important mental victory for me, I had to include a reference here.

Many of you already know how the game went- The Lady Royals swept the best-of-five match in three straight to put them solely in first place with just a few games remaining.  This looks to be a strong year for the girls, so an extended season seem likely.  The girls clearly have high expectations, as the celebration for this victory was about as exciting as watching the snow fall.  I'll say that the muted response is actually a good thing- this was just another day at the office for a very good team.  There will be plenty of excitement ahead.

Judging from the stands, these girls have caught the eye of lots of the Royal faithful.  It's especially exciting when the letters come out.  One idea- next time, give the S to Olivia Z, or someone in the same row as the rest of the word.  At least Mr. Booth was there this time to check the spelling.

Diesel is clearly impressed.

I took this shot to make a point, but then I got too excited while I was cropping it and spoiled it- I'll try to save it here.  What you can't see is the point total for HR- at this moment it was seven, although when I first turned to take the shot it was six.  What you can see it the number of kills for Monica- five.  Of the first six points, Monica had five of them from kills.  That's impressive.  Most of the better teams will do some scouting before the match, but really, everyone in the room knows where this set is going.  It's a credit to Monica and this team that opponents just can't seem to stop it.

I haven't been able to get as many shots of Alyssa as I would have liked so far this season, but I made up some ground at this match.  I even managed to get Mom in the blurred out background of this shot.  I think I also wrenched my arm patting myself on the back for it.

Here's the good stuff-

Turn It On Again


At this level of sports, having a good team is about half of the challenge.  The other half is consistency.  These athletes are still adolescents- their heads are not always in the game.  What will separate the good from the great is the ability to repeat results, time and time again.  Considering the respective records, and Valley West on the schedule for Friday, it would have been easy for Coughlin to overlook Sem on Wednesday- this was a classic "trap" game in the making.  Instead, Coughlin was able to turn it on again, scoring early and never really letting Sem get into the game, ending up with a 4-1 victory.

Phil Collins looked pretty shabby in that video, so I went off in search of another- I think this one is even worse.

Some thoughts-

There's no significance to the first picture in the galley- This year, they are pretty much displayed in chronological order.  It is a little odd for the opening shot to be of a spectator though.  This was actually just a test shot to get the camera set up properly, but I thought it worthy of display.

Not only does this player have 2 first names, they are an alliteration (Mrs. FotoFink is an english teacher- she taught me that).  I am quite sure that somewhere I have mislabeled Jason as John.  Or is it John as Jason?  Search for both to be safe.

This is not quite "Separated at Birth" material, but I liked it anyway-  Doesn't this remind you of this?

He's not heading this ball, it has slipped through his hands.  Sem was able to clear it away safely though.

Spectators in cars fascinate me.  Is it really that much effort to park and get out?  Drive-though banks, food, pharmacies...  now soccer matches.  Back in the old days it wasn't like this.....

Some players just love the puffy cheeks.

On a more serious note, soccer fans across the US were saddened on Tuesday to hear of the car accident and resulting injuries to US Men's National Team standout Charlie Davies.  (Not my picture, by the way.  If it were, the contrast would be better and there would be less motion blur at his feet)  Charlie's injuries are apparently not life-threatening, but could be career ending.  This news tempered the celebration of last night's draw with Costa Rica, which clinched the top spot in CONCACAF for the US team.  On to South Africa next June!

Schedule constraints pulled me away from the match a little early, so it is a slightly smaller batch of photos than usual, and no JV.  I'll be back on Monday though.

Only Time Will Tell


A chilly Columbus Day Monday brought our staff to Hazleton for a mid-day field hockey match between the HR Lady Royals and the Hazleton Lady Cougars (Modern-day slang has a whole new meaning on that.  I wonder if there will ever be pressure to change that to something more PC....).  For a change, the Lady Royals stayed in control for the entire match, no drama, no OT, just a convincing 4-0 victory.

After seeing a few games, it seems like I should be able to pinpoint an identity for this team- but I can't.  Are they the under-achievers that opened the season 1-5?  Are they the "cardiac queens" that have taken 4 games to overtime (winning three)?  Or are they the dominant force that handled Hazleton with relative ease?  Only time will tell.

I actually had a couple of options for the link to the music in this post.  I prefer the Jimmy Buffett version, but I thought more of you may know the Asia song.  I probably should have just gone with my preference.

You may have noticed that I drew the attention of the ref at the game, as this time it was me who had to vacate the space behind the end line.  I feel the need to plead my case on this issue.  I have very few rules, but one that I am diligent about is that I never, ever say anything about the game while I am shooting it.  I don't talk to the ref, I don't cheer for the team, I don't address the players- ever.  I try to get into some places with the camera that most fans cannot, therefore I don't act like a fan- even though I am.  In this case, there was a comment from a spectator standing next to me- who felt that they had a much better understanding of the rules than the officials did.  No surprise- the official felt it necessary to flex a little muscle after the comment, and decided to enforce the "no spectators behind the end line" rule.   I was not specifically asked to leave, but really had no reason to make in issue of it.  I was planning to go to the sideline for the end of the game anyway.

Every game I shoot, I learn something about field hockey, but usually I am still ending up with more questions than answers-

I noted the ball carry in the last post- I still don't get it- if we are in the lead, what's the rush to restart?

This time, couldn't help but wonder about the masks on the Hazleton players.  I can understand the need for protection-  sticks & balls are hard, and it looks like they are both flying around an awful lot.  I can also understand not wanting to wear a mask-  I am sure it is uncomfortable, and I am not very vain, but c'mon....  So tell me Mr Whoopee- why did the Hazleton girls wear the masks, take them off, then put them back on again?  All the wardrobe changes seem confusing to me.  By the way, if you picked up on that reference before clicking the link, I am proud of you.  I was always felt that Go-Go Gophers were the better cartoon, but feel free to come chat about it sometime.

I am slipping a little in my quest to get pictures of Kelly in embarrassing positions- this was the best I had today.  I am hopeful she has a sense of humor about this.

It took me a while to ID this game's "pant-puller-upper".  Erica, who has a reputation for such things, is in the background, so I knew it wasn't her.  I couldn't see a number because of the sweatshirt, and obviously no face.  Finally the footwear gave it away as Melissa.

You can see from the fans that it was a little cold at the field- maybe even more than a little.  Notice that Ashley started with some under armor, then went bare-sleeved for the second half.  That's hardcore.

Here they are-

Good Stuff


There are lots of things going on right now that can be considered good stuff, although Saturday's final score may not be one of them.  Redeemer got close to Lehman before the half ended, but their hurry-up offense backfired when it left enough time on the clock for Lehman to tally again before the break.  The second half was forgettable for the Royals, but at least we got to see some players make appearances that ordinarily might not.  Anything that broadens the FotoFink galleries is good stuff.

So what else is good?  Well, the third daytime football game has led to a much larger number of higher quality shots than last season.  A long weekend has allowed me to get caught up on editing, and spend some time with the clan.  Sunday was filled with relaxation, football & baseball games, nachos & chicken wing dip.  But the best part.....

Some of you may know that I am a hockey fan.  I cut school in the 70's to see the Flyers victory parades.  I have season tickets to the Wilkes-Barre pens (section 105- come visit!).  Saturday was a give-away night at the arena- an NEPA sports map.  I had no idea what this was, but happened to be there in time to get one.  Imagine my surprise when Mrs. FF opened the poster-sized map and found our faces on the print!  At first glance, we appeared to be just faces in a crowd shot- but after more careful study, it was clear that this poster was primarily of us, and happened to have some other information about the Pens and other AHL teams on it.  The FotoFink legend continues to grow.  For fans that are interested, I'll be autographing copies in the concession area of the gym at the girl's volleyball game on Wednesday.  The nominal charge will be donated to..... me.  :)

Back to the game-

I am a little concerned that so many of my shots have other photographers in the backgrounds, because it probably means that one of us is in the wrong place.  Let's hope it's not me.

The stereotype that football players are not bright is clearly wrong.  These two can apparently count backwards-

Backgrounds can make or break a picture.  In our stadium, when the light is right, I can get some cool shots that include the HR logo behind the play.  There are quite a few in this gallery.  Looking back, maybe I overused the strategy in some cases.  Kind of like the QB keeper play.

Here's another interesting background.

Passionate fans make football games exciting.  I can't believe that she has much of a voice left after the games.

It's a little hard to tell, but that's a touchdown.  There are always highlights.

They are shaded, dry, have their own private concession stand nearby that serves alcohol, and they don't have to pay for admission.  I am thinking that these are the best seats ever.

There is just no one cooler.  No one.

Faces are hard to capture underneath helmets, but when you do- they are even better than backgrounds.

That's a wrap from me.

Game shots are here.

Whole site is here.

Long Time


Lots of meaning to the title today, as first off, it took a long time to get these shots posted.  My apologies, as the "real job" took me on a road trip to Vestal NY on Friday, then hockey Friday night, football Saturday, hockey again on Friday......  no rest for the weary.

This game also took a long time.  100 minutes of soccer, and nobody scored.  Sometimes these scoreless draws are exciting, knowing that either team could tilt the game decisively at any moment.  This one, however, didn't seem to have a lot of that drama.  It felt more like 2 teams coasting into the latter part of the season.  That's easy to say from the sidelines, as I was not the "goalie du jour" leaping to make saves, I was not sacrificing my body to make plays, and I was not hustling to loose balls- but in general, it didn't feel like enough of the players were either.  Perhaps it is because the playoff fates for both teams are pretty much cast now, Sem will likely get the automatic berth for being the lone single A team in division 1, and Redeemer will likely be able to watch Sem's first round match.  Or perhaps it's because my heart is 2 sizes too small.  We may never know.

My friends at Sem have purchased some pictures in the past, so there are quite a few in this gallery devoted to them.  It looks like there has been a lot of turnover, so hopefully the remaining "old timers" can point the way to the new folks, so the FotoFink legend can grow.

Puffy cheeks.  Reminds me of a FotoFink favorite from years past.

Speaking of FotoFink favorites....

Sometimes, you meet a girl, get her number, and it's just too important to risk putting in your pocket with the red and yellow cards.

I can't blame her (him?).  It was hard to watch this game at times.

Considering the elbow room on the sidelines, any fans are welcome.  Especially so when they are alums.  Amanda is looking forward to the basketball season at Wilkes, Laura has taken some time out from the soccer schedule at Elizabethtown to help her mom run the sideline yoga class.

On to the football pics for me- for you-

On Top Of The World


Tuesday was a big day for the Lady Royals, as they hosted the Coughlin Crusaders for an afternoon of field hockey at Hollenback.  Before the match, Coughlin seemed to be a difficult challenge for HR- They are a division 1 team, with a winning record, and prior matches with teams of that level had generally not gone Redeemer's way.  After the Crusaders jumped out to a 2-0 lead, it looked to be a long day ahead for the Royal faithful.

Most of you probably know what happened next-  Redeemer tied the match at 2, went ahead 3-2, then gave up a goal to push the match to overtime.  It seems that the girls are determined to be the "Cardiac Queens" as this was the fourth time this season that a game would be decided in extra time.  Chances abounded in the extra frame, HR even had a goal disallowed before finally burying the game-winner.

The win brings the girls very close to .500 for the season, and perhaps more importantly, increases their hold on a playoff spot (I am guessing there.  PIAA's playoff voodoo is a bit of a mystery to me).  It also shows that the Royals can play with some of the top teams in the area.  As the picture above shows, this big win left the team On Top Of The World.

A few thoughts-

I understand this game only slightly.  Very slightly.  My observations then, are probably overly simplistic.  Here's what I picked up on Tuesday-

The ball carry.  I know this happens in soccer, usually when a team is behind and wants to restart as soon as possible after a goal is scored.  Instead of waiting for the leading team to lazily bring the ball back to midfield, thereby wasting precious time, the trailing team will grab the ball, run it back, and force the game to start sooner.  It seemed like every goal was handled this way on Tuesday, with no regard to who was ahead at the time.  Are these girls just that courteous?

I am not sure why this gentleman was asked to move- perhaps he had something to do with an orange ball?

I am getting a lot of intense face shots during the downtime of each game.  I think that the mouthguard actually makes a face look more determined.  Not to say that the girls are not determined anyway, of course....

What do you think the guy in the Ryan Howard jersey is doing?

Don't adjust your monitor- the blurry look to this shot is because it was through the net.  That's about as creative as I get.

As usual, I managed to catch Kelly in an embarrassing moment- This time I got Marilyn too though.

Speaking of Marilyn-  No fair changing your jersey number without notifying our staff...  I thought it was odd that I had so many photos of Lauren all of a sudden.

Everyone will remember the game-winning goal in OT, but lets not forget, this save was just as critical to the victory.

I guess the swine flu fear is over.

Credit the paper today for choosing this game for the lead article (in the online version anyway).  I thought I was going to get an explanation of why the first HR goal in OT was disallowed, but here is the quote- "Earlier in the 15-minute overtime period, it appeared the Royals had scored the game-winning goal – setting off a short-lived celebration – but it was not allowed by the officials because the ball went off a Holy Redeemer player."  Again- I am no expert, but don't almost all of the goals that HR scores go in off our own player?  I think I see the point here, but it seems poorly worded.  Living with an English teacher makes one a little fanatical about such things.  The paper went on to call the victory "bittersweet" for coach DeFalco- from the looks of the picture on here, it was for more sweet than bitter.

Interesting happenings at the cozy mountain retreat today- halfway through loading the photos up to smugmug, a tree fell in the forest (I was here to hear it) and took out the power/internet connection for the day.  If you visited earlier, you may have only seen about 1/2 of the shots-  they are all up now.

Gallery is here.

FotoFink can be had here.  That sounds wrong.

Now We're Getting Somewhere


Progress was shown on several levels Wednesday night, as Crestwood defeated Wyoming Valley West by a 3-1 final score.  I have always felt that the measure of a team's success is whether they are playing better at the end of a season than they were at the beginning.  The boy's soccer schedule allows this to be easily noted, as the second half is made up of the same opponents as the first.  These teams battled to a draw in the season opener, at the rematch Crestwood never let Valley West into the game.  The Comets are clearly improving as the season wears on.  Crestwood took a big step forward in securing a playoff berth with this win also, securing third place for now.  PIAA rules are fuzzy, to me at least, but it may be that the third place is the final playoff spot from the division, so every game is important now.

I am pretty late to the party with this update, so it will be another quick one.

Some confusion over the start time for the JV match left me with some time to kill beforehand, so I stumbled onto this place.  2 FotoFink thumbs up for a cheap, tasty, probably unhealthy meal.

I was able to make the entire JV match, so there are quite a few shots from their win also. 

I know, I know....  It's bad form to be critical of the officiating.  So let me just say this-  Wow.

One of the downsides to using the flash at these games is that it takes time to recycle before it can pop again- so timing is more critical; I can't rely on the burst button to snap 6.5 frames per second.  I only mention that as a lame excuse for why I missed the ball passing the keeper on this PK.

Things got a little testy up in the stands as the game wore on.  I am going to blame the redhead with the glasses.  She's feisty.

Our title today is from Crowded House.  I have revised my guidelines a little as the lifelong project has stalled.  I am now allowing anything that I have recorded to be a possible title, since there aren't enough good titles at the current stopping place.  It's nice to be able to make up the rules as I go along.

Time's up for me-  The weekend starts soon.
