<ay 30 - Monday Noon Na!!!

- Impromptu  Addendum -

I'm posting just a few more images fr Friday and Saturday afternoon here  [below]....  {as teasers} .... and in a minute or to I will go back to sleep on the sofa - >lit refracted/diffused light {from the noon sun} slipping in from the 7h floor balcony ...   as i hear subtle "Monday-office day-sounds" from Perea St., {below} and the Legazpi Village environs.

 zzzzzz  zzzzzz   zzzzzz ......

 When i visited Barkin' Blends [across the Ateneo campus, at Katipunan St.} yesterday {Sunday} afternoon - Peewee, the resident Basset Hound, somehow fancied me as some sort of big pillow, and simply took a nap, using my squatted legs as his sleeping matt [whatever]  ha aha ha !! - 

 Nakakangawit pre ! - I decided, tho, to let him sleep for bout 20-30 minutes -  and still managed to take snaps of the other dogs, my friend, and then some ! - 

and when my legs felt so crampy - I simply had to ease the lazy Basset Hound out - di naman yata "na-hurt" ang feelings ni Peewee - ha ha - !!  OK lang.

NOW, again, This is how i feel !!  - Still gotta catch up on all the sleep I Always Loose, Literally !!, Every Weekend.

Will attend to this blog later tonight, or tomorrow - whatever  ....

E J Punsalang

Iconic at Eight

It was May 26-29 thereabouts, 2008 ..... was just hangin' at my friend's
 [village mate] {South Bay Gardens, Sucat} house when I decide to shoot a few, {5-20 quickie frames} on-the-spot available light portraits of my biker bud, EJ Punsalang, at his garage.

Still had my 2-month old Nikon D60 [w a manual 300 mm G-Lens] then.

No biggy - i said to myself - I do this all the time - take what the scenario [lighting situation] accords me - Angle my subject properly, adjust my manual settings, compose my shot - and simply - do what has been second nature for me - for so long - Craft an available light portrait.

  " E J " 

Now, this image is eight years old.  

Yes, I've shot thousands of frames [solo portraits in all kinds of lighting scenarios - of people fr various walks of life]  since.

Still, this " E J" has always been one of my All-Time Favorites of "undeniably, truly great" solo portraits.  It has stood the test of time. It has stayed.

Suffice it to say - [at least] In my book - It IS iconic.

Action Nutshells 
from

12U --- Ateneo-SBP* vs  San Sebastian-R
12U --- La Salle Greenhills-A*  vs  Ateneo-PAYA
15U --- La Salle Greenhills*  vs  UST

{There were 2 more matches after these that I didn't shoot}
* winner

   

   

 

PS
Another Challenge, more, for me tho - is crafting good, if not, Great B-t-Scenes images [bordering on human interest], which are X-tremely difficult to produce.

Such opps are very rare and usually come by when least expected, then - still - i simply have to be FIRST, sharp enough to recognize such situations, and Second - I have to be able react quickly before such "moments" slip by. 

 I strive for a very, very high level of Technical and Artistic Competency, 
as far as such imagery is concerned - FYI. Tough, Very Tough - mind you.
{obviously none in this post, at least, in this one}
