East Burke Women off to a great start!


The varisty Cavaliers took a commanding lead over Bunker Hill on Tuesday night to show that they are have what it takes in their new conference. The action below the net and around the court was intense as shown in the images I captured during the game. Be sure to check out the gallery.

**On a related note, we will be adjusting prices with the new year. If you are waiting to order something, you may want to go ahead and do so now with current pricing still in place til New Years Day.
Happy Holidays from Way New Photography!!

Earlier time, same emotions!


The last games of the season against original county rivals East Burke & Freedom has come and gone but the emotional challenges were still as strong as ever.  The intensity from the sidelines, from where I was shooting, was intense.  The varsity girls of both teams played with a lot of heart, even though both teams have been struggling.  The mens game had the back and forth feel in the second half after a rough start for the Patriots early.  Be sure to check out the photos for all the action.
Also, remember, if you want items for Christmas, its not too late to order most things but you will have to select a higher shipping option.

We understand that you may be comfortable with the old gallery so we are going to continue to utilize it on a more limited basis.  Beginning in the New Year, we will only be using the Older Gallery for small prints, (4x6's, 5x7's and 8x10's) for approx. 2 months after the event.  After that, you will have to order any prints from the new gallery.  All prints will always be available in the new gallery but some pricing may be higher than the limited gallery.  So, you will need to order within 60 days after any event to get the best price on the smaller prints.
Be sure to view a video tutorial on "Where Did My Favorites Go?"  Some people have expressed concerns about the new gallery and missing the favorites button.  If you can't wait, here is a HINT:  hover over the large image and select "add to collection".  You will have to setup a visitor account but then you will be able to save images to the collection and view and also share with others.
Finally, don't forget to book your Family, Senior, or other portrait sessions.

Who gave them the right to change it?

So, lets just jump into it. Who gave the fine folks in Atlanta, GA the right to change the one thing that I trusted other than my kids love? Who told them that something was wrong and how the heck did they come up with this idea?

I guess you are wondering what I am talking about, huh? No, I am not talking about Home Depot and their efforts to advertise without Tony Stewart. I really don't have a problem with Chick-fil-A right now, they have a fine products and rarely have changed it other than adding a mighty fine milk shake to their lineup. Yes, both these companies hail from Atlanta, but neither are as widely known as the corporation I have a beef with, sorry Chick-fil-a cows!!!

The fine, or they may be slipping from that post, people at the Coke Corporation have finally drawn one of their loyal customers out. Yes, I agree that I drink too many Diet Cokes on a daily basis and even more on the weekends. They have finally drawn first straw in their current mess up!! (Remember Coke Classic?) The people at Coke have decided that the general public has gotten too use to the 20oz bottle. They must feel that we can't decide that 20oz is enough. What they have done is given us 2 other choices that are no where in comparison to what we want!

First, there is this, what I call, the "Pony" 16 oz. bottle. First of all, after all these years of drinking 20 ozs, by the time I finish the 16oz, I am still thirsty. It does not fit in your drink cozies or drink holders in the car. Oh, ok, well it does fit, but when you slam on the breaks, since the bottle is so small, it takes off on its own flight pattern!

Then you have the 24 oz, why the heck am I drinking this, bottle. Ths bottle is so big, by the time you finish it, its too warm to swallow the last drops. It's so big that even though it fits in the drink cozy, it towers above to do it no thermal help what so ever!

I tried to help these "slim bottle" people understand my concerns. I visited their website to voice my displeasures but they do not have a place to even send in comments! They do have a suggestions form, but you have to sign a "Terms of Agreement" clause that is like declaring war!

To the people of Atlanta: Don't let the folks at the Coke Corporation bring you down. Tell them, let your voices be heard. Bring back our 20oz, handing fitting, thrist quenching bottles please!!! Until that time comes, I may have my coke, but probably not with a smile!
