Competition gets extra tough when any given contest is going to be the season-ending game for one of the teams. And that’s exactly the boat in which 4 District One teams found themselves on Tuesday evening — in this year’s Distict One Mens Lacrosse playback bracket. Winners of Tuesday’s contests (CB East over Abington, and Radnor over Hatboro-Horsham) will face off on Thursday, and battle out one last District One playback match to secure the 5th remaining berth in the upcoming PIAA State Tournament. The winner of Thursday afternoon’s playback match will qualify for the PIAA State Championship Tournament set to begin on Tuesday, May 29. Round #1 has the District One #5 team competing against the District One runner-up.
To no one’s surprise, Tuesday’s C.B. East vs. Abington match was exciting and physical — all the way through to the final horn. Our HD WebShow captures much of the emotional and physical intensity exhibited by both teams Tuesday evening. So turn up the volume, and enjoy a still-image, multi-media recap of all the close-up action, David-Nicholas style!
In the end, the Patriots edged out a 13-11 “come-from-behind” victory over the Ghosts, and will now take on Radnor Thursday afternoon at Harriton High School, the site of the District One Final (between Conestoga and Garnet Valley) to be played following the playback match. Go E-A-S-T!!!

It’s been a while since we’ve posted to our blog, but it’s good to be back!

The Patriots are nearing the mid-way point on their regular-season schedule this week with a 9-0 overall record as of this posting.
First up is a WebShow highlighting last week’s East vs. West rivalry match-up, where the Patriots dominated the Bucks with a final score of 10-2.
Next up is another WebShow highlighting this week’s contest with St. Joseph’s High School of Metuchen, NJ, where the Patriots edged out an exciting 13-11 victory. Way to go, Patriots!
As always, individual images in these WebShows have also been posted to our online galleries under C.B. East Mens LAX 2011 Season, where viewers can browse these and many more images at their own pace. Enjoy!!!

To grab that perfect GIFT, of course!!!
It’s undoubtedly been a very busy week for everyone… including our faithful companion, Zuke (who has been known to affectionately greet an unsuspecting client or two when they stop by our office).
Zuke, our faithful companion catches a few Z's in his favorite chair in our office during the Christmas crunch.
But there’s still time to grab a David Nicholas Photography & Design gift certificate for that very special someone in your life! Our gift certificates can be used toward studio sessions, on-location sessions, prints, albums and just about everything you’ll need to experience the very finest in contemporary photography our studio has to offer!
It’s actually a perfect time to treat someone to a studio session this time of year, since weather for outdoor sessions tends to be a bit less predictable during our Bucks County Winters. Or perhaps with everyone home for the Holidays, it’s a great opportunity to have a family portrait session at your house while it’s nicely decorated for Christmas. Or even fit in a “Class of 2012″ High School Senior session that’s light-years beyond the one that the high school yearbook photographer provided last August. It’s never too late to get cutting-edge images for graduation announcements you’ll be proud to send out to family and friends in a few months.
The possibilities are endless!!! And we’re more than happy to bring our creativity to whatever you have in mind. So give us a call today, and we’ll send you on your way with a gift certificate (or two) that’s sure to please those “tough-to-shop-for” folks on your list!!!
We here at David Nicholas Photography & Design want to take this moment to wish everyone a very peaceful Holiday Season and a Happy, Healthy New Year!!! A big heartfelt “Thank You!” goes out to all our clients for helping make 2011 another exciting year for us. We hope everyone has enjoyed our world of image-making, as much as we’ve enjoyed bringing great images to you. As always, stay tuned… and watch this space for more exciting offerings in 2012!

In the world of precious gemstones, whatever you read about garnets tends to have positive connotations. Such wasn’t exactly the case, however, for C.B. South Football last Friday evening. In fact, the mere mention of “garnets” to anyone in the C.B. South football organization will likely bring back tough memories of an evening that could very well have had a completely different finish were it not for the errant toss of an official’s flag during the game’s final seconds at Garnet Valley High School. Although that’s not how the evening should be remembered, that’s quite possibly how it will be remembered — at least for Titans fans.
Indeed, with less than one minute remaining on the clock, the Titans appeared to have successfully halted a Garnet Valley offensive drive into C.B. South territory. Or so it seemed. But amidst spontaneous Titan celebrations for the turn-over-on-downs, an official’s flag was tossed well after play had ended — charging a face mask penalty against C.B. South. The penalty gave Garnet Valley an extended possession in which the Jaguars eventually scored the game-winning touchdown on a pass play deep into the end-zone with 0:16 on the clock — a repeat of a failed pass-attempt just seconds earlier. An extra-point kick sealed the final score at 52-48 in favor of Garnet Valley. And in a matter of seconds , emotions on the Titans side of the field sank from unbridled enthusiasm to stunning disbelief.
After scoring 6 TD's during the evening, Central Bucks South running back Dan Brown glances up at the scoreboard clock as the Titans defensive unit attempts to thwart a Garnet Valley scoring drive in the game's final minute of play.
Our multi-media HD WebShow this week features LOTS of Titan highlights from a power-packed evening of football by both teams. So turn up the volume — ever so carefully (as the audio track opens with a powerful drum solo) — and enjoy!!!
These and MANY additional game-action images have been posted to the PIAA 2011 PostSeason Football and C.B. South Football 2011 Season online image galleries for browsing at your own pace. Contact the studio if you need any assistance.

This year’s PIAA Quad-A Football Tournament is shaping up to be an interesting mix of teams. But don’t ask District One teams to give too much thought to their seeding ranks though… ‘Cause in the tournament’s 8 District One opening round match-ups, SIX of the lower-seeded teams advanced to Round #2! And you can count the Titans of Central Bucks South in that group, as the Titans (#13-seed) claimed a decisive 52-24 victory over the Colonials of Plymouth Whitemarsh (#4-seed) last Friday evening.
Our HD WebShow features LOTS of great Titan highlights from the evening — set to one of our favorite music tracks for action sports images. So turn up the volume, and enjoy exclusive game-action highlights the way they were intended to be viewed… David-Nicholas style!
Don’t forget to visit our online proofing galleries, where we’ve posted these and other images in the PIAA 2011 Post-Season Football Playoffs Album for you to browse at your leisure. Enjoy… and if you see some images that call your name, let us know!!! We have some fabulous ideas to help commemorate a great season — especially for Class of 2012 Seniors!!!
Stay tuned for our Post-Season round #2 coverage of the Titans, when they take on Garnet Valley (#5-seed) at Garnet Valley on Friday, November 18th.
