brosigonzalesphotos: The Convert

SNAPS of

{ Strictly Non-Action PhotoS }
Denden Lazaro

On occasion when I encounter Non-Ateneans, [and Ateneo Alumni], that are AWVT Fans - It's, More Often Than not, Denden Lazaro's photos they request to see.

But Hey - No need for me to verbalize to much - I'm a Sports-Photojournalist --
I Shoot and I Share [via this blog] ....

But, seriously [I'm a Portrait Photographer too, in case ya didn't know] ... ... I definitely "Get it", It's a No-Brainer ... ... This award-winning "converted" Libero has launched a thousand screams [on and off the court], and expect a Lot More - Now, that she has UAAP Gold.

The Lady is a Champ

Took the two images above just before the start of the Step-Ladder Playoffs {Ateneo was to figure in a "Win-or-Go-Home" match vs Adamson}.

Then, the idea/thought of eliminating NU, who was the No.2 seed and had the "Twice-to-Beat" advantage, let alone , having to face the "seemingly invincible" Lady Spikers from Taft who had "Thrice-to-Beat" !!! - was so, so not the concern of the Lady Eagles then. First, they had to beat the Lady Falcons - they had to win - point by point - set by set {that's a total 18 sets bro - at least 270 points plus !!! } one "Knockout Game" at a time .. vs the Falcons, the Bulldogs AND the Archers ....

They had to win Six Games - anyone of which could be their Last ... Who had the slightest of inklings, then - of the Unprecedented Dream Run that was to follow ? .....

Certainly Not Me .....

Two of my All-Time Favorite On-the-Spot Portraits of

Dennise Michelle "Denden" Lazaro [so far] follow below .....

Crafted this "sit-down"/ "on-the-spot" portrait of Denden way back May 20 of 2012, at the Arena in San Juan during our pre-match conversation. The image comes fr a 10-frame series.

Composed this "cat's-eye-view" / "on-the-spot" portrait of Denden way back August of 2011, at the Blue Eagle Gym , during a training session. The image is a stolen 1-shot attempt.

[Yes, did shoot "cat's-eye-view" angled portraits of Dzi, Jem, Fille and the other Fab Five - Prob, I'll release them in a future post]
