2008-Aug-25: Price reductions, discounts, new services, expanding coverage, website improvements ... Some (good) changes are coming down the pipeline for BowiePhotos.com customers ....
New things are taking form here at Bowiephotos.com. First, new equipment will be generating the best action photos available from anybody, anywhere - my equipment lineup is unmatched by any other local-area sports photog. Also, lots of new features and a facelift coming to the website. I’ve also just implemented some price reductions (details below) - I meet or beat the price of the competition. There will be new products and services made available, too. And, more ... check this list out:
- Multiple copies of the same print are now much cheaper ... for example, a 2cd copy of a 4x6 is $1.00 instead of $3.00 - !!! Already In Place !!!
- The initial copy of a 4x6 has been reduced to $5 and the price for a hi-res digital image file has been reduced to $9 - !!! Already In Place !!!
- Discounted pricing will be retroactive back to the first of August. Purchases since then will receive a credit or refund.
- A low-res copy of a photo for use on MySpace, Facebook, etc., is now available for $2.00 - !!! Already In Place !!!
- As soon as my login system is up and running, a customer loyalty discount system will become active. Customers will accrue life-long credit for past purchases. Your cummulative purchases will get you into the discounted pricing brackets (i.e., a discount on every purchase after you’ve made it into a discount bracket). The Customer Loyalty Discount will result in pricing that is unmatched by any other commercial photographer in the area.
- Senior photos .. custom shoots ... personal action and portrait photography services are available. Details will be on the website soon
- Bowiephotos.com coverage will be expanding to more areas of sports activity at James Bowie High School.
- And many, many more cool things ... stay tuned to Bowiephotos.com, your official Bowie Football Team Photographer.
The price reductions are already active (marked with “!!! Already In Place !!!” above). Some of the other features will take a few weeks to put into place. Orders placed now will include the discounts - these discounts will be retroactive back to August 1st of this year and you will receive credit or a refund on recent orders, as applicable.
One other note - starting January 1, 2009, there will be an archive fee of $2.00 for each photo ordered that is older than 1 year. This is because of the time involved to hunt through archive disks to find the image file.

You may browse/purchase-prints as you wish - thanks for your patience during this transition.

Free action shot and discounted individual shots with the purchase of the team photo (limited time offer - you have to order by Apr 15th).

2008-Feb-19: MR. BULLDAWG ...
UPDATE - All Photos are now online (choose “Photos” -> “Special” in menu to the left)
Those familiar with my football season pics will remember that I appointed Mr. Clayton Bielke official Bowiephotos.com spokesman, without his permission or even notifying him. Well, Mr. Bielke is back for the third time as Bowiephotos.com Spokesman, or should I way “Spokesperson”- this time to announce the upcoming gallery of photos taken at the Mr. Bulldawg contest earlier this evening. Here’s some samples, starting with a shot of Clayton himself. It would appear that Clayton has been in .... how should I say this ..? - let’s just say he’s been training for something a bit different than the offensive line in a football game.
2008-Feb-16: Soccer pics - Bowie vs. Anderson - Update - All pics are online from both the boys and the girls soccer games with Anderson.

My Canon Mark III is in the shop and a friend loaned me his Mark II so I wouldn’t have to miss these events. Many thanks to him !!! If you need a wedding photographer, check out his site: http://www.brucecovill.com.
All pics are online from the Texas State Dance Championship. Unfortunately, I missed Bowie’s Solos - I’ll catch ya’ll next year !!! I was shooting an individual request, but managed to get lots of pics for Bowie’s dancers from the team/officer performances. To view the dance photos, select “Photos -> Special” in the menu to the left.
And ARENA FOOTBALL - Pre-game pics are up and more coming soon ... I shot a few pics from the Lone Star Arena Football Classic at the Erwin Center last Sat. night, hosted by the Austin Wranglers. Having never attended or even seen an arena football game before, I spent a bit of time on the confused side, and hadn’t quite figured out where I could roam to shoot pics until later in the game. The line-up for the South All-Stars Team included Nick Grasshoff, Charles Holmes, Greg Kerr, and Armando Martinez from Bowie, Mychal Williams from Crockett, and many other great players from Austin and surrounding area schools. The South All-Stars were coached by Jim Carson, Seguin’s Head Coach.
2008-Feb-03: Soccer ... and ... Texas State Dance Championship - Pics from the Bowie JV/Varsity Men’s soccer game against San Marcos are now online. Coming soon - pics from the Freshman/JV games against Austin High on Feb 1st (Couldn’t stay for the varsity game - I’ll be shooting the Bowie/Anderson game this coming week). Also, I’ve got a few pics from the Texas State Dance Championship held at Bowie yesterday (Sat, Feb 2cd) .. not too many as I was there mainly just for requested coverage.

2008-Jan-04: Best Wishes for the New Year to Everybody !!!
I’m working on some website changes, including some to help out with the issue of the site hanging up and loosing shopping cart contents. I’m making lots of changes to the underlying program code - you may see an occasional strange message associated with my coding and debug efforts - just ignore these. If you run into a serious issue where things aren’t working, send me an email (link above) or give me a call - 282-9233. Within a week or two, I hope to have a personal log-on capability that enables a “Your Favorites” feature in which you can build a collection of your favorite images over multiple browsing sessions. Also, I’m improving the reliability of the shopping cart code such that you don’t loose all the contents when something hangs up or you inadvertently leave the site or something .....
2007-Dec-08: Oak Hill Gazette and Slaughter Creek Reporter - Both have articles on the football banquet. I sent several photos over to Will at the Oak Hill Gazette. He chose a very ‘special’ one for the paper - so, find a copy and check it out !!!. Also ...
Football Banquet pics are online - You can download a free medium-resolution copy of any image by clicking on the link above each photo. The medium-res images are 1000x1500 pixels ... good for 4x6 and 5x7’s. You may also order prints if you prefer not to print your own.
2007-Dec-03: Christmas print ordering schedule: If you’re going to need prints for Christmas, here’s how the schedule looks at the moment:
- I should be in town through December 22cd. However, anything mailed on Dec 22nd may not reach you in time as that only leaves 1 day for mailing (23rd is a Sunday, 24th is Monday). Best bet is the have all orders submitted by Dec 20th - I’ll print and mail on the 21st (Friday), leaving 2 days for mail transit time, which should be enough for in-town orders. Out-of-town orders should be placed even earlier.
2007-Dec-03: Suggestion for large orders: Here’s a bit of info that might make ordering photos go a bit smoother if you’re planning on placing a larger order:
- If you’re ordering lots of photos and planning to take advantage of one of the price-break points (10% at $50, 15% at $100 and 20% at $200), do multiple orders and limit each order to 15-20 or so images, or maybe one game at a time. I’ll combine all of your orders and apply a total discount. You can submit the orders over a period of few days if you wish (don’t have to do them all in one session). This makes it easier to go through the large number of photos on the site, and makes it a bit safer - my online ordering system does not save your session (something I will be addressing as time permits) and if internet goes down or your computer crashes or you accidentally leave the website, go to another website, then try to return to bowiephotos, you might have to start over, which may be quite a hassle if you’ve already put lots of time into the order. Sooooooo, order in smaller batches, select “Free or Pre-Arranged Payment” in the final check-out step for each order, send me an email when you’re all done, and I’ll send you a discounted total amount due at the very end.
2007-Nov-22: Happy Thanksgiving !!! - new theatre and Football postings include the following:
- “Triangle Factory Fire” theatre pics, shot by Lisa Bradley on Nov 15, 17, and 18, are now online. Choose “Photos” to the left, then “Theatre” on the event categories page.

This completes the posting of all football pics I’ve shot this season - all games are now online .... Also, all photo orders submitted to date have been mailed. If you haven’t received yours yet, please let me know. Hopefully, I didn’t miss anybody.
2007-Nov-18: Bowie-Judson game pics are online. The remaining games to be posted include Bowie-Anderson Freshmen and Bowie-Seguin JV .. that will complete the season !
2007-Nov-11: Final two varsity games of the regular season are now online (JV and Freshmen still coming):

The 8th grade 1st-half and half-time shots are up. 2cd-half should be posted this evening. You can find the shots under both “Special Requests” in the menu to the left, and also under “Football 2007” on the main Photo Events page.
2007-Oct-25:
THREE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS !!!!!
Bella The Bulldog, is on the cover of today’s Austin American Statesman XL-Ent insert, lookin’ mighty mean !!!
... AND ... the sports section has a write-up on Marcus Griffin - front page of the AAS sports section. It would
appear that it is “The Year Of Marcus”. That is too COOL !!! Both Michael and Marcus, major hero-dudes !
... AND ... there’s a nice write-up about Bowie’s defensive line in today’s paper too !!!
... SO ... along with it being “The Year Of Marcus”, is is very appropriate that it is also “The Year Of Bowie” !
2007-Oct-25:
IMPORTANT NOTE - only a few more games left to shoot
If I haven’t caught a few good shots of you yet, please email me with a name and jersey number, particularily
Freshmen, Sophomore, and JV. I tend to follow the ball alot and miss those not directly in the line of fire. So,
email me at jsilj1@bowiephotos.com to request coverage.
2007-Oct-21:
New Theatre pics by Lisa Bradley - select “Photos”, then “Theatre” in the left menu

2007-Oct-20: Two in a row, BABY ! Bowie is for real!
Bowie 31: Westlake: 14
To quote Coach Thompson, “It’s been a long time coming !”
Bowiephotos.com spokesperson, Clayton Bielke, back for the second week in a row and sporting a fresh haircut, had this to say about the Bowie victory over Westlake, which included a 2cd half total shut-down of the Westlake offense, and Bowie’s unstoppable march toward District Championship:
“THE HOUSE OF PAIN IS IN EFFECT, Y’ALL, AND
ANYBODY STEPPIN’ UP IS GETTIN’ WRECKED, Y’ALL !!! “
Actually, I stole those words from a song, but I’m sure that Clayton would have said just that if given the chance! Photos are online - I covered the pre-game, the first quarter, and the beginning of the 2cd quarter. I needed to cover half-time over at Burger, but was able to make it back for most of the 4th quarter and the end of the game. My daughter, Kayla, helped fill in with a bit of coverage during the time I missed.
2007-Oct-14: All photos shot to date are now online:
Bailey vs. Bedichek Bowie vs. Austin High Sophomore/JV Bowie vs. Austin High Varsity
2007-Oct-13: WOW !!!!! WHAT A GAME !!!!
Bowie 31: Austin High: 28 - in overtime

and CLAYTON IS HERE TO TELL YOU ABOUT IT !!!!
(along with 2752 photos I shot ... a new record for one game)
Lots of photos coming later this weekend. I’ll get the varsity pics up as soon as possible! Thank you players and coaches for one incredible night of High School football !!!!!
2007-Oct-10: !!! Baily vs. Bedichek Football !!! All 7th and 8th grade game and half-time pics are now online. You can find all photos by clicking on “Photos” in the menu to the left, then selecting “Football 2007” (or “Bailey”) in the event list page.
2007-Oct-6: Football and Tennis ... Sophomore and JV games against San Marcos are posted. Also, thought I’d try a bit of tennis - I shot pics for about 30 minutes last Thursday (Bowie vs. Seguin). You’ll find these under “Tennis” on the events page (click on “Photos”) in the menu to the left). We’re making plans to re-do the photo gallery in the Bowie administration office, and I wanted to include a tennis shot. If ya’ll like these and want more coverage of tennis, let me know.
2007-Oct-2: Just discovered a small problem - I made a cut-n-paste error on the football page, and had left last Friday’s game against Akins titled “Bowie vs. McNeil”. If you’re looking for the Akins game, this was probably a bit confusing - my apologies - it’s fixed now, and properly labeled “Bowie vs. Akins”.
2007-Sep-30: Everything shot to date is now online - Bowie/Akins varsity was just posted. Pics from the Bailey-Clint Small football game (Wed, Sept 26th at Burger) are up also. You can find them under both “Football 2007” and “Bailey” in the Photo categories.
2007-Sep-23: Just posted the Freshmen Red & Black - everything is now online from all Bowie/Vista Ridge games that I was able to shoot (everything except JV/JV1, 2cd game of Friday night at Vista Ridge- sorry ... my old, faithful 20D died with 1 minute left in the Sophomore game, so .. I’ll have to catch ya’ll at another game).
2007-Sep-16: Bowie-McNeil Varsity pics from “The Palace” (Friday, Sep 14th) are now online.
2007-Sep14: Pics from Thursday night’s JV game against McNeil are up. I missed the Sophomore game (I’ll catch ya’ll next week), and arrived right at the end of the 2cd quarter of the JV game. They’re online and ready to view.
2007-Sep12: LOTS OF COVERAGE comin’ up this next week ... look for coverage of this Friday’s game at “THE PALACE”, plus coverage of all 5 games next week against Vista Ridge. 6 games ... should be around 6000 or more new pictures to look at (my old Canon 20D is getting weary ... it was rated for around 25,000 photos by the manufacturer ... I’ve got over 100,000 on it at this point in time) !!!!
2007-Sep-08: All pics are now online for both the Freshmen Red and Freshmen Black games against Round Rock on Sept 6th. Due to some last minute schedule shuffling, I had to miss the varsity game. However, I will be covering the next game at the “Palace” (best lighting in town for photography) and the game right after that one.
2007-Aug-20: All pics are now online from last Sat - the Bowie-McCallum Varsity and Sub-varsity scrimmages. Check ‘em out.
Parents - if you would like to use a photo off of this site (the latest or even last year’s images) in an ad for the program, you have two options. If you want a copy for yourself, or if you want to lay out your own ad, you may purchase the hi-res digital file ($10) via the shopping cart. If you only want to use it in the program, I can send it directly to the person putting the program together at no cost to you if they are doing the actual layout work for
you. Email me for additional details.
What happened to the Summer ??? !!! Here we are at the brink of the 2007-2008 School Year, and we’re gonna get it off to a good start with some football ! I dusted off the camera, cleaned the lenses, charged the batteries, and checked everything out after essentially taking most of last Spring and the Summer off from photography. Then, I made my way to Burger stadium to cover the Bowie-McCallum scrimmage. It was good to see everybody again.
