   Priceless memories captured via the high-tech, soul-stealing magic of a camera. (John Fisken photos)

"Ooh, who's in charge nbow?

“I’d buy that for $1!! How about you, Risen?!”

John Fisken wants your money.

Of course, he is willing to give you something back in return.

The rovin’ photo man spent much of the winter camped out in the Coupeville High School gym, fortified by just an endless stream of Diet Coke, snapping pics of all the basketball shenanigans, on and off the court.

Now, as the Wolves head into spring, he’s dropping a reminder that players, parents, grandmas and other folks can preserve their memories of the 2014-2015 basketball season by purchasing a few of said photos.

Photos can be found at the following sites:

http://www.olympicleague.com/index.php?league=21&page_name=school_home&school=0&sport=0

http://www.cascadeathletics.com/index.php?district=1&league=2

Or, for the remainder of March, Fisken is offering a special deal. Contact him directly at johnfisken@comcast.net and he’ll pick photos for you.

Buy 10 or more and he’ll discount to $5 a pop ($7 normal).

You give him an idea of what you want (action, goofy, group, etc.) and he’ll give you his all-star version of your Wolf athlete’s journey through the season.

Digital images (higher grade than what you can copy off of Coupeville Sports) will be emailed directly to you and then you can make as many prints of each photo as desired.

As always, any purchases help fund college scholarships for CHS senior student/athletes.

Breeanna Messner and Brandon Kelley captured the inaugural scholarships last year.

"I'm ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille!"

“I’m ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille!”

Traffic was unusual Saturday night in Oak Harbor.

For anyone out and about after midnight, instead of tailgating an RV lurching from side to side or Aunt Martha doing 12 MPH in a 40, you might have found yourself stuck behind a large airplane.

Driving, not flying.

The Navy was moving its PBY-5A plane, which I’ve nicknamed Sir Reginald of Chutney (cause I feel like it) from the Seaplane Base to its new home right across from the new PBY museum on Pioneer Way in Oak Harbor.

Out and about at that hour (drink Diet Coke all day and you’ll be up all night…) was John Fisken, who clicked the photos above and was nice enough to pass them on.

   Every time you look at this photo, you notice something else going on. It’s the gift that never stops giving.

Roberts

  Landon Roberts, heir to the throne. Two CHS Athlete of the Year winners for parents (Jon and Sherry (Bonacci) Roberts) — the intensity is from mom.

Lindsey

   The Chosen One joins older sis Lindsey for a moment sure to grace the Roberts’ family Christmas card.

Allison

Allison Wenzel played like a beast on defense in the JV game, then sprinted into the stands to wail away during the varsity contest. They call that multi-talented.

Kiel

Kacie Kiel’s floating head hangs out with parents Elaina (hidden) and Steve.

Britt

Wolf hoops legend Brittany Black returns to the gym she once owned. And yes, she gave me her autograph. E-Bay, here I come.

l rose

Wolf b-ballers (l to r) Wynter Thorne, Lauren Rose and Mattea Miller, seconds before they beat the paparazzi up and took his camera.

Tiffany

Tiffany Briscoe has had just about enough of this nonsense, thank you very much.

Quickest way to get a lot of page views? Run a lot of photos.

So, it’s a good thing John Fisken is so willing to let me use his work.

The smorgasbord above showcases his behind-the-scenes pics from a recent CHS girls’ basketball game.

Like what you see? Buy the man a Diet Coke ($1 from the Booster Club concession stand) the next time you see him.

He’s rumored to be appearing at Friday’s Wolf boys’ game and Saturday’s girls’ game.

Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

Piling cans of Diet Coke at his feet. That’s the other half.
