Maximum Effort. Orchard Park Quakers’ varsity midfielder Geronimo Rubiano falls down while attempting a slide tackle during a home game under the lights. On this warm September night, the Quakers played the Lancaster Legends in a nail biting game, sadly losing 2-3 after letting in an untimely goal towards the conclusion of the second half. The Quakers finished the season with a record of 7-5 in league play. Even though midfielder Geronimo Rubiano was the only freshman on the varsity team, he had the second most goals on the team, scoring a total of 4 goals.

Lumos! Universal’s Hogwarts Castle is struck by a beam of sunshine on what was a rainy day. It was a beautiful day in California…. Until it wasn't. The rain came crashing down, soaking everyone in the park with big water droplets. After the fact, the sun beamed through the clouds to create a rainbow perfectly positioned over Hogwarts Castle.

Horsing Around. Julia Joslyn, OPHS Senior, poses for her senior photo with her horse Happy at Skibbereen Farm. Senior photos are a right of passage for many graduates and are an opportunity for students to celebrate years of hard work. Joslyn has been riding horses for 5 years, and it was important for her to include her equestrian companion in a significant moment of her life. This was one photo of many, and multiple shots were taken around the farm. Senior photos are often taken in scenic locations such as parks, on rooftops, at beaches...and sometimes farms.

Ruby’s Zoomies! Serenity follows as the beagle-pitbull mix, Ruby, concludes her chaotic sprinting in the backyard of her home with a cool-down walk. Ruby was ecstatic to go outside after dinner and ran to the sliding glass door, barely able to contain herself. She scratched feverishly at the glass until she was allowed to go outside. Following her, the owner chased her around the yard until the black dog was tired, both returning inside shortly after the playful game of tag.

Hope for victory. The striking features of the new Bills stadium being built in Orchard Park are captured. There is brilliant lighting across the sky which forms a perfect compliment to the New Bills stadium's architecture. It seems that there's some type of illumination inside the stadium. As a result, it appears as if the whole structure embodies stimulation from fans and the incredible matches that are soon to occur there. The light blue illumination of the House of Billsman is automatically linked to some secure sign--not to mention hope for victory.
