B-t-Scenes - Sept. 21

Mall of Asia Arena 

Saturday Snaps

Watch the Ateneo Blue Eaglets - FEU Baby Tamarraws UAAP Final Four hoops match [12 noon-2 p.m.] at the MoA, last Saturday morning and the La Salle Green Archers - FEU Tamarraws Seniors Playoff match later in the afternoon [4-6 p.m.]

Take some decent action shots of that Juniors match-up [to be released in a separate post], and much more action shots of the said Seniors Playoff match.  By Sunday morning, my favored action images [promptly pasted w/ the new Gatorade Logo] from the DLSU-FEU match, are already w/ an ad agency.

Besides the said photo requirements, as usual, take random, non-action  B-t-Scenes photos after both matches.

 Old friends and New acquiantances [whatever] - It's All Good

Jolo Mendoza / Mike Nieto / Arnie Padilla / Matthew Nieto 
Eaglets All 

Come to think of it, I do remember meeting Arnie last May 5 [2012], at that NBA thingy I covered at the MoA. [I'm sure he doesn't remember me] My friend ARlet, even had a crush on ARnie. Ha!

Pedro Picornell / Aika Lim / Paolo del Rosario 

 If the family name's Gaspar or Picornell, {or Tang or Teng} the person's prob from DLSU. If the family name's Achacoso or Arespacohaga, {or Tiu} the person's prob from ADMU.  If it's Lim or Elorde or Capacio - hard to say.

"In a" single fleeting glance, Ina Ongsiako, can simply charm you.
You don't have to be a photographer to notice that. 

Ina, Do you remember the two words I mentioned to you last Sept.15 ??

Jason Perkins just celebrated his birthday the previous day, Friday, Sept.20 

If DLSU so happened to have had a match excatly a week previous & I'd bumped into Perkins on that game date -  I would have had a photo of me beside Jason - posted it in this blog and captioned ---> "Brosi with Jason - Friday the 13th" Ha !

 Just whizzing by - Whimsically

The photo above was actually taken about 2 weeks ago
 [I did "misplace" the JPEG for a while].

Available Light has it's nuances - and as far as I'm concerned - understanding, being aware of, even embracing it ->yes, those ever so subtle [angles, fickle "behavior", it's harsh or soft caress]  [kanya nga nuance ang tawag eh!] - is so important for me - it helps me NOTICE MORE "seemingly mundane" moments   .   .   .  wala lang  -  the thing is --->the fleeting, whimsical moment I captured  [in the photo above] simply reminds me AGAIN, how keenly observant, sharp, I should be and even "lightning fast" if only to capture those elusive moments - once in a while.

Also, this might sound totally silly, but - I say --->real charm, too, has it's nuances too -- and it's off-cam /when people aren't watching / during those unguarded,  unplanned moments -  when I do "get" how naturally friendly some people are.  It might even appear that I'm putting Ina Ongsiako on a pedestal and"above " the other courtside reps - No, no, certainly not !  I'm just sharing my how my psyche works, how the seemingly trivial moments reveal so much about people, how their "souls are bared" in a micro second or two  - And here I am comparing that with the way light behaves !  Hahaha !

Maybe I love my people photography too much - that I get these "ridiculous ideas".  Bottom Line - I love what I do and if that makes me a better photographer every single shot I take - then It's All Good
