Supply Creates Its Own Demand.
The title to this journal entry is one of the fundamental laws of economics. That is, people don't know they want something until it's available. Consider the I-Pad. Three years or so ago, no one knew bubkus about tablet computers. Enter Steve Jobs at Apple and behold: The Mac based I-Pad is on everyone's wish list and Mr. Jobs died a zillionaire.
Ditto soccer photos of the the Official Elder Son's first season as back-up striker on the varsity squad for the southern Lutherans of the St. Louis Metropolitan area. Specifically, we returned from the Soccer Banquet Wednesday evening, and during the course of same, wherein the OES received the "110% Award," we received a CD with photos. I shall not bore you with all of them, inasmuch as Blogger will "upchuck and die" if I loaded them all here, but a few are worthwhile.
And yes, I'm a proud papa.
The goods. As always, click to embiggen*:
Given, that I've got another several hundred megabytes of these, I expect the market and the laws of supply and demand will soon take over, and someone, i.e. moi, will have cornered the market.
The upside, of course, I'll be in tall cotton, even though I'm not charging a dime for this.
Cheers.

Note: I reiterate, these photos are not mine, but rather were graciously given to me by another Dad who provided a CD to each player of his own action shots plus general team photos. He did a great job, methinks.

Hmmm, you don't think that the supplier of the demand -the photographer- exhausted half the market the instant he handed the CD to you. :-)
I read that this day is somewhat like the 8th of Dec for the UK and here. And second only to the post Christmas sale in certifiable nuttiness.
What a treasure trove! Most times when someone tells me they have lots of photos of my daughter that I'm going to want to see, they want me to hand over money before handing me the pictures.
Vince, I know there are two suppliers, but I know where the demand is, even if it's sympathy driven.
As for today being "Black Friday," because of the rush of crowds and the sales push retailers into the "black" for the calendar year, then yes, it's the equivalent. I haven't bothered for years, since I learned how to buy stuff online and have it delivered to my house.
I love technology.
Cheers.
Ed, yeah. We were very grateful.
Cheers.
We just need a little "L" in that first word of the title...Otherwise you have created a whole new and very interesting language...(smile)
These are great "action" shots....WOW! But....pray tell, which one is your OES, my dear?
As to Steve Jobs...He was already a Gazillionaire before the iPad with all the other amazing things he came up with.....A Genius who one wonders what else he might have come up with had he not 'shuffled off this mortal coil.....'?
Hope your TURKEY DAY was a lovely one, my dear Randall.
Naomi, how did I not see that? Our brains must do strange things at times.
Cheers.
Oh, Naomi, he's number 14.
Cheers.
Such a handsome young man, my dear Randall.....!! Does he take after you?
Me thinks these are great pictures!
Thank you, Naomi. Some people say he looks like me, but I think he resembles my father more.
Eutychus, they are good photos.
Cheers.
Wonderful. What a great gift to receive from someone. A real treasure. Enjoy them.
What a sweet post. The other Dad did a great job with the pictures and an even better one at being a friend. And your son looks like the next great soccer star.
Congratulations to him and to you.
NF, trust me. I will.
Kathleen, thank you. We really appreciate the photos, inasmuch as
my "action" shots stink in spades.
Cheers.
Hi Randall,
Congrats to the older son! And YES, that's THE game, if you forgive an old soccer fan his enthusiasm.
Many more successful games for the older son,
Pit
Thanks, Pit.
