Division One Review
Georgia Tech FC and Inkhead.com, who themselves are derby opponents, are looking for their first ever D1 title so the incentives for all 3 are motivating.
Division 1 Title Race Drama Georgia Tech FC were idol on a weekend when both their rivals for the D1 title both won their matches. Melchester Wings defeated struggling AC Majestic 30 at their home field at Pope High School and Inkhead.com, who featured in our weekly focus match this week, inflicted a heavy defeat to Nuesoft FC, 8nil. The results mean that Melchester go back to the top of the table on 31 points while Inkhead.com, now on 27 points, close in on Georgia Tech FC 2nd spot who are on 29 points. The good news for Inkhead.com is that they have a game in hand over both Melchester and Georgia Tech FC. The race is a wide open affair for the top 3 and should bring a exciting conclusion as the battles commence anew on Sunday, March the 10th.
Melchester are technically in the best positon and will be keen to repeat as league champions for their 2nd title in 2 years.
In the middle of the league table, The team making the most strides is former Double champions Majestic who also won on the weekend destroying a very under strength FC Ljiljan by the score of 71. FC Ljiljan's problems are compounded by injuries, player moveaways and subpar performances in critical matches. To close out the D1 results, the fine form of FC Brookhaven continues as they defeated Sting Gold 31 as they look to finish the highest ever for the club in Division One since promotion couple of seasons ago.
The Relegation Battle
As we reported last week, only 1 team will be relegated from division one which has had a knock on effect for the 2 bottom clubs in the division. Nuesoft FC and AC Majestic now are in their own competition separate from the league title race. It is now a matter of survival as one of these 2 teams will be going down at the end of the season and it all depends on results in these final few games left. Amateur league football can be a unpredictable thing. The desire according to league officials is for a 10 team D1. That would mean if 2 teams are coming up from Division 2 next season, only 1 team needs to go down from Division 1 at the end of this season. More will depend on team registrations We'll keep you updated with any new developments on the subject.

Inkhead.com defeated Nuesoft FC by the score of 8足0. Both clubs are in the thick of different types of races. Inkhead is looking for their first ever D1 title and Nuesoft are battling against relegation. Still a lot to play for from top to bottom in the league.

The setup for this game had far reaching consequences for both clubs. Inkhead are looking for silverware for the first time in club history since earning promotion to division 1 several seasons ago. Nuesoft FC is looking to avoid going back down to Division 2 by getting all the points they can. Unfortunately for them, Inkhead.com were in irresistible form and not given to charity on the day. Inkhead defeated Nuesoft 80 at Nuesoft's home at Renegades field at Silverback's Park. A Jordy Broder hattrick was added to a brace each from Brandon Jones and Todd Gispert with Franz Parkins adding another to complete the rout of a
organized but overmatched Nuesoft team. As far as the top half of the D1 league table, Inkhead remain in great shape for the final matches to come with a game in hand, over Ga Tech FC and Melchester. Nuesoft's positions remain unchanged with AC Majestic also losing on the day. But with only one point separating these clubs, the relegation race could go right on till the last game of the season. The season is coming to a close but much to be decided in the league and Perrin Cup. WFN will be there to report on all the action.

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words
At one time just a hobby, now has become a full time professional endeavor. Khrishna Cobb is a vital cog in the existance of World Footie Network providing stirring images of match action from week to week. Additonally, her work with football glamor models, player profiles and much more bring life to the words on the printed page. Khrishna sat down with WFN to talk about her history with photography and her interest in football and consequently her work with World Footie Network. Khrishna, I'd like to thank you for sitting down with us to share your background with photography and the ADASL.
modeling jobs. But very early on, I found the modeling agencies a bit limiting. That's when I got the idea to start my own modeling agency.
It is my pleasure to talk to you on these subjects.
Your own agency? How old were you when you started that agency?
First off, I guess I'd like you to talk a little about how you got started with photography in the first place. Sure! My work with photography has roots with my work years ago as a model in Detroit Michigan. As a teenager, I started work as a model which involved me in a variety of
I was only 19 at the time. The name of my company was International Trend Setters. Wow, 19? that was very young to start your own company in a field like that isn't it? Yes, but I had a lot of help from my mother and I felt the nedd to have a company to help
aspiring models, like myself, get into the door. You mentioned "a need". Can you elaborate? Yes. One thing I noticed was that as a model starting out, it was very difficult to get started and part of the problem was the agencies of the time. They were not providing what was needed for the model to really get started effectively. So I took it upon myself to research the field I was working in to see if I could make a difference by starting my own company. That way, I could tailor the way a model could start and help them to get more jobs. I guess you can say I wanted us as models to have access to the freedom and resources to get started in the business that simply was not available at the time. So how did that go for you?
It went very well! My goal was not just to have a successful company but to open up avenues that simply were not around at the time. Even the name of my company was to illustrate that we were to have models of many different backgrounds and nationalities. The field of modeling up to that point was not very diverse, but our company helped to create opportunities for more people to do more types of modeling jobs. Since we didn't have a lot of capital to get things going, we bartered a lot with photographers, fashion designers and vendors in the industry. It really was revolutionary and it really is a vital factor as I moved on from modeling after coming to Atlanta. In fact my early business played a major part in my interest in photography. That's very interesting. How did the transition to photography come about?
The transition to photography was probably slower than you would realize. It was not a direct path at all. After coming to Atlanta in 1995, I began work with a Insurance company and eventually became manager of the call center of that company. But I still had a creative yearning to express myself, and it was this yearning that translated to work on the other side of the camera as a photographer. How did you get started on that "other side" of photography? Really a bit by chance. One day, my friends and I went garage sale hunting. It was at one of these garage sales that I bought my first "real camera". A Nikon SLR film camera (N4004) for $25. The camera was in beautiful condition, believe it or not. So just like that, you decided on photography as a new direction? No not quite like that. This was
not a "point and click" type of camera and I knew I needed to learn the craft before I could get anything out of it. I took courses at the Atlanta College of Art and Showcase Camera School to really get into technical aspects of the camera and the craft in general. Getting "under the hood" of the camera (if you will) was what opened my eyes to this new world and my passion and love of photography started from there. This early experience turned me into a female version of "Peanut's" Linus with his blanket. I had to have my camera with me everywhere I went. but it was still just a craft for me. OK, so let's jump ahead to your work with sports and in particular, amateur soccer. How did this evolve? Well, I have to give you credit for opening the door to this soccer world to me. As most of your readers will know, you and I are married and you have infected me with your own passion for football. But your suggestion to try my hand at sports photography was a seed planted that has grown now over the years.

for a fan group, that is when you started to talk to me about photographing sports.
At first, I just thought that I couldn't branch out into that type of photography as it takes a certain eye and approach to really do that well, but you kept prodding me to try so I did. Prodding? Don't you mean, I gently and lovingly nudged you toward my sport? Unmmm, yeah, sure. Whatever! (laughs) Anyway, you turned out to be right about my ability to capture the moment in sports and I then realized that I should never limit myself with my photography. A
And this was a major influence for me going from a hobbyist to a professional in the field. I no longer allowed myself to think that "I can't" accomplish things. So as I remember, the transition to the ADASL coverage with me was linked to this new philosophy? Yes. When the Silverbacks folded, you looked for another avenue to involve yourself with the sport and that is what directed both of us to the ADASL. And like the model agency from my early years, we looked to help these young players to have a greater opportunity in their sport by helping to raise awareness of the league, the teams and the competitions through what we
Yes, I do remember that you were reluctant at first. Can you elaborate on your hesitation to try sports photography? Yeah. When I first started to get into photography, my love was of nature photography so I concentrated on that. When you got involved with promotions with the Atlanta Silverbacks professional soccer team

do with the website and photography and this magazine. We are providing "Images Frozen In Time" to help capture images of the sport and competition that would otherwise be lost forever. That is the point isn't it? Well, it is a joy to be involved in my passion that others can benefit from. I think we both realize that unless you capture the moment with words and/or photography, the recall of these event is lost. For an athlete, this would be a negative aspect to a sport with no real coverage. But the question might be how to provide this coverage in a way that is affordable. I think we have created this structure in a similar way that I did with my modeling agency years ago. That is one thing that I learned when working with the Silverbacks. Many people spoke about how to promote the sport better, but few would actually do anything about it. Yes and if people have a talent or craft that could be donated to the cause, then it's up to that person to use that skill to accomplish that task. The officials of the ADASL have that same type of drive when they organized and started this soccer league. Now persons like you and I can help take what they started so wonderfully and help raise the level of awareness through the website reports, photography and pages of this magazine.
Anyone could help to add their own input to help us go even further. Like I said before, that was the drive in my modeling agency and it was a factor in my work with the World Footie Network. It's funny that I have indirectly gotten involved with modeling again, but this time I am literally on the other side of the camera helping the model by my work through the lens. It's just one more aspect of the work that I am now fortunate enough to be doing and it is a joy to work with the photography and with the ADASL. Well Khrishna, I want to thank you for sitting down to discuss your work with photography and World Footie Network. It was my pleasure and I look to be working with World Footie Network into the future as the awareness grows in the league and it's competitions. From Khrishna: "Images Frozen In Time Photography also available to capture sporting events. For example; your children’s championship games or the various sporting events in town that need coverage. In a sense, these events are 'Frozen In Time', so that you can look back on the event, smile and ‘remember when…”.
Khrishna has the gift of being multi dementi with her photography. She not only captures moments form sports, but she also can capture images of all kind from sports, to fashion, to nature, and much much more.
Keep up with Khrishna and Images Frozen In Time Photography as they continue to provide photo content for our magazine and website. Without her images, we would not be able to bring you this magazine!
