Exactly A Year Ago 

To The Day

Part II

March 31, 2012

After witnessing a very heated Loyola Meralco Sparks and Air Force Football Match last December of 2011 - I knew, arriving at the UMak - that afternoon of March 31, of last year, that the Meralco - Air Force match would give me real extremely physical-testosterone-action-packed images.  I was happily not mistaken.

Here are just some of my favorite images [in random order] from that encounter.

Exactly A Year Ago 

To The Day
Part I

March 31, 2012

For obvious reasons I clearly remember March 31, Saturday, of 2012 - last year

[defintely one from mnay, many, many favorite days from 2012]  because of two shoots - one in the morning and one in the afternoon.  The a.m. shot was a portrait shoot [location] and the p.m. shoot was a football match [an extremely emotional/heated one, at that].

Both shoots were actually featured in separate posts last year.  For whatever reason [feel ko lang] I'm just reposting some of the photos from both shoots here. The difference is being - the photos in this entry are monochromatic [Black & White] versions of the photos from the 2012 posts.

March 31, 2012

Morning - at Magic 89.9

Subjects - Junior Jocks Bea Coronel and Gia Jamias

 Stolen shot of Gia Jamias browsing through incoming messages in her laptop.

These days I get to listen to Gia on Tuesday evenings 10:00 p/m. onwards [on board w Aaron Atayde aka Josh Strike]. Bea has moved on to another station, though.  As of this writing - I believe, both ladies have graduated from their respective Universities - Bea from U.P. - Gia from Ateneo.

Parting Shots 

No Need for Art Direction

I was hoping to have shots of Bea and Gia on the sofa my last images of the shoot - and like any smart photographer - I had visualized already how I might have them "pose"  even before they signed off air.  But when they proceeded to the sofa - they instantly - and comfortably eased themselves and  flaunted their slender and "very attractive" legs.  Cool !!  ll I had to do was shoot- no more verbalization from me or the girls  needed - They just were their very, confident sexy and alluring selves.

  Need I Have Said More ??

I was actually doing some HD Videos 

of my niece/Vanessa and nephew/Nace

when I decided [in between takes] to shoot some monochromes

Nace, my mom, Lydia - and Vanessa

Inigo aka "Nace" Gonzales

Am posting the image above for my friend, who confided in me last year,

that she finds my nephew cute - Ha!

I'll make sure they get to meet each other sometime this summer.

Love You Guys !
