The power of a picture

Intoducing Mark V. Krajnak and The Power of Photography

I recently asked Mark Krajnak , a local resident here in Washington Town Center, to do me a favor.

Would he be willing to submit an original photo to me on a weekly basis to create what I am going to call "Photo Friday". for my outside blog "The Real Voice of New Jersey Real Estate".

Now I certainly haven't invented rocket science here but I do want to tell you how Mark and I met (sort of) and how this came together.

I am a huge fan of Flickr. If you're not already aware, this is a free site to upload and share your photos with the world (if you chose to, you can also keep them private). You can also use the site just as a storage facility to organize your photos.

For a professional, Flickr has great search engine power. So one day before I started my blog I was searching for local photos of Robbinsville and the surrounding Mercer County area.

Mark was the first and really only name that came up. I immediately feel in love with his work. I think this was my first favorite "Workhorses in the Mist " and now I am following his series on "100 Strangers I've Met" . After reading Mark's profile on Flickr I found that he literally was in my backyard living just beyond the woods that sit behind me.

I contacted Mark by phone, which I am sure he found a bit strange. This woman he doesn't know, is calling him asking "hey can I use some of your photos for my new blog site". He immediately said yes.

Fast forward to today......... I took a different path with the design of my blog so I never implemented his photos. But I have followed Mark's work on Flickr ever since.

The power of a picture is huge.

I hope you all enjoy Mark's weekly photos as much as I do. If you ever need a professional photographer with an artful eye....... He's your guy, all his contact information is here.

Thank you again Mark and welcome aboard.

After a slow start and falling into a 2 nothing hole in the top of the first inning, the Robbinsville girls struck for 2 runs of their own in the bottom half of the inning to tie up the score.

Becca Freeman has pitched a solid 3 innings so for but after some questionable officiating has caused the girls to fall behind by 2 in the middle of the third

However, heads up base running by LeAnne Gearhart as pushed a run across and Robbinsville trailed by 1 with 2 outs in the bottom of the 3rd.

With runners on second and third with 2 outs, clutch pitching, and excellent defense got the girls out of a jam in the top of the 4th to remain within 1.

In the bottom of the 5th a leadoff single by catcher LeAnne Gearhart and an infield single by Christine Levering, led to an RBI single by Becca Freeman that has knotted the game at 4.

Moments later, a wild pitch by the South plated Christine Levering with the go ahead run putting Robbinsville 3 outs away from the championship.

Without hitting a ball out of the infield the South pushed across 5 runs to take a 9-5 lead. In the bottom half, a lead off walk by Jessica Samel and a clean single Claire Speranza had Robbinsville threaten to get back in the game.

A Stellar performance by the South's top pitcher Carley Hoover shut down the rally ending the girls wild ride to the championship leaving Robbinsville on the short end of a 9-5 score.

The girls played their hearts out leaving the residents of Robbinsville beaming with pride at all their achievements.
