Lady Rising Suns

 Random Candids of the Cagayan Team

[and four solos of Wanida Kotruang]

--- The photo shoot that came to me ---

 The image above and below was taken as the girls were actually doing a drill - hulihan lang tiyempo minsan - suwerte, suwerte rin

 By the very nature of a candid shot, it usually is quick, impromptu  -- 

 { "snapped" in just a second or two, whenever, whereever - hence the occasional unflattering shadows [lighting angles] }  ---  in order to catch the mood of the subjects before it is lost - "Ganoon talaga MINSAN - Bahala na, basta pinipitik agad bago mawala ang tiyempo"

 

 I'll release the "spike drills" photos next time. 

Am fine with posting these for now.

There's actually A WHOLE LOTTA of images from the training session

[that turned out to be a real shoot - at least, for me}

- these are just random picks.

-- Wanida --

The appeal, at least, for me, that Wanida Kotruang has - comes from her occasional child-like demaenor/actuations during unguarded moments - which UNFORTUNATELY, I wasn't able to capture during that training session. 

[Hindi ko matiyempohan pre - nakikita ko -
 pero hindi ko talaga nahuli sa litrato !]

 The two pictures above were "stolen" -- Guess I was "hidden in plain sight" pretty much throughout the whole training session.

 I am happy though, with the two photos below - puwede na - the kind of Wanida Kotruang images that [probably] ONLY I - have. { I LIKE !! } Yes !!!

-------

Gotta acknowledge the WARM hospitality of Coaches Nes Pamiliar and Brian Esquivel, which was so natural - {says volumes about their character}.

 Truth is, I actually bumped into this training session, at the Arena in San Juan. 

 Yup, I was watching You Tube videos of Linkin Park's "Waiting for The Light" REPEATEDLY - {I'm so hooked on it !!!}, in my tablet, a the press room, killing time - when I decided to take a break and peep in to the Arena hardcourt to see the Cagayan Team.

I then proceeded to do "small talk" w some former UAAP volleybelles, chatted w Coach nes, then with Coach Brian - and before I knew it - I had taken a ton of B-t-Scene photos of the girls - [I stayed throughout the whole session - and, even as I was packing up to leave - as the Team was in their last huddle - Coach Nes even offered me Jollibee snacks - { Dude, talk about the Spirit and the Essence of X'mas !!! } - and dare I say - in those simple gestures there was a certain "humility" somewhat - I don't know - that I felt - It's that kind of natural "unplastic behavior" that really "gets me". Very Nice.

Thank You to the girls and Coaches Nes Pamiliar and Brian Esquivel.
