- And - With All Due Respect & Tact  -  -  -

With the privilege of capturing and sharing private/sensitive moments [that are AND will always be part of the sports experience] - and in the spirit of tasteful journalism - I am releasing these post game images of Cristina de los Reyes - manifesting her disappointment over her team's 4-0 blowout.

No, no, no - as I've stated in a previous post [showing athletes experiencing the agony of defeat] - I don't have a morbid fascination in seeing athletes experiencing deep seated hurt over lost matches . I'd like to think that I am sensitive enough NOT to go "out of bounds" while literally stealing such moments - but I guess, that's the risk that has to be taken - If ever I want ot have "interesting enough" Human Interest Imagery. There is a lot of humanity to be shared in photos showing extreme emotion - - -

 Showing ALL MY extremely unflattering photos/images of athlete/coaches/fans crying and all - I think - will never be a good idea.  I do have to choose which ones to release.  [I carefully chose the 4 images that follow]

[bliss or sorrow] [sports or otherwise] - - - > And that is what I am really trying to share, even as I myself constantly am reminded of my own humanity.

A Mother is there for her daughter.

A Coach reaches out.

Friends divide the sorrow.
