Refreshed

October 17, Thursday

Emperador Stadium

Pep at the Fort

Remember Rheena Villamor, the pretty, "petite-size" Shakeys V-League courtside correspondent I featured  several posts back, in a feat titled "Refreshing" ?  Well, I saw Rheena again,a few days back, and shot a few more "cutie-petite" OTS portraits [first time I ever used that description] of the young lady and was pretty much set on releasing another post about Miss V on Thursday [I was already considering titling that post "Refreshed"] - when another morning assignment brought me to the Fort, once more, this time to cover an ILO Football Event, sponsored by the International Labor Organization - [I'll have a sep feat on that soon].

Was busy taking some action shots [of kids playing football], 11:00 a.m., thereabouts, when at the corner of my eye - I saw some familiar faces gradually come into view - Lo and behold -'Twas a 15-man contingent from the 3-Time UAAP CDance Champs ->UP PEP Squad !! 

Nesza on a Natural High

I told Nesza Salvador [a participant in all the 3-Peats, and Samsung Cheerdance Stunnner fr UAAP Season 74] how so pleasantly surprised I was, to see her, Louie Castro  

[ He's the only one, along w/ Nesza, whose names I distinctly remember - and to whom I converse with mostly -  {I did two posts feat' Louie already too}  - {not to mention alluring Coley Ambulo, also fr UP Pep, and a former Samsung Stunner Awardee - tho Coley was not w/ them this time} ] 

with their UP PEP Posse so unexpectedly. 


{ Feel so at ease w UP Pep, now, and always excited to see what "moves" these guys have in store for the audience} -

 It's just that I HAVE YET to know ALL their names by heart. {soon, soon, sooner sana !}

As I was socializing with Nesza and Louie - I knew, then, during those brief moments [at the back of my mind], that I would No Doubt have a post on the Pep - titled "Refreshed". {and it was just a matter of maybe, a day or two, B4 I would chose, tweak, and release my latest, on my favorite CDance Group --->UP Pep ! }

It is "Muy Importante" for me to constantly reassure people I photograph,  to always Trust in my skillZ, 24-7, that I WILL always find a way to interpret them photographically with my own Unique Spin - so to speak - and leave them images [even if just a select few and far between] that they will at least ->truly like, if not Love.

Real Photography, for me, goes way, way beyond imagery. {And, I think} Real Dance, too, goes way, way beyond the "moves".

Gotta See it to Believe It.

But Ya Gotta Feel it Too !

PS

I just inserted my blog post on the Finals Game 1 [played last Tuesday, Oct.15] of the current Shakeys V-League 2nd Conference. This blog is configured, such that, once I put a date on any post - It will automatically be chronologically placed among the posts - [even if I don't actually post it on the transcribed date]

Now , came this Oct 17 ILO Football Event, where I took over 2,000 {mostly football action shots} - images from where these UP Pep shots were taken.

Yep, I'm always catchin' up, My work is almost always, never done - but the posts are ALL eventually released, --->albeit not in chronological order. {Siguro love ko lang masyado ang UP Pep ? kanya isiningit ko agad ang mga litrato nila}

What's more important, though, is the quality control of my released images -> the cropping, contrast, and the right tonal tweaks along with the watermarking of hundreds of photographs day-in day-out [only to release a select few for my posts] ha ! Whatever, That's just my style.
