Fathers - Sons - Daughters
Except for the "Zach and Beau" 2some {taken last Feb.21, after a PBA match} - All the [On-the-Sidelines] images that follow below, were taken yesterday, Sunday [March 9] and Saturday [March 8], at the Ynares Gym, in Pasig and at the SMART Araneta, during the NBTC Sea Oil Championships and UAAP Womens' Volleyball Finals - respectively.
There is NOT a single stranger in this post {'cept for Zach, & Aemmon, of course}. I'm acquainted with all these Fathers, Sons, and Daughters {next time na lang yong Mothers - mga pre -OK?}.
Through countless UAAP matches I've been covering since 2009 - I've met, and ever so gradually, have been acquianted with {some to a lesser, some to a greater degree} the following guys - or, as the title says - Fathers, Sons, and Daughters:
-->Coach Eric Altamirano -----
has been coaching NU the past sev years. He is involved with numerous leagues, such as the NBTC and MMBL. His sons are Anton and Luigi are both students at St. Benilde.

-->Coach Alex Compton -----
is part of the Alaska Coaching Staff, and partners with Eric in several basketball leagues. {Luckily for me, he had his wife bring their first born, Aemmon, [Irish name, meaning "Protector"] to the Sunday event event - if not for his portrait w Aemmon, I wouldn't have fashioned this post. }

{Truly a welcome "add" to my portait archives!]
--->Beau Belga -----

ALL do their bits as college photogs and writers. Known most of them, for about 2-3 years already.

--->Bianca Cuatico -----
is a DJ for DLSU Radio / "Big Green Giant". She has a most unique {a rare wide-angle, Solo-On-the-Spot} {Artsy, and cute} {from a Sept./2013 UAAP match} portrait that's a favorite of mine.

I've hundreds of photos of [accumulated through a period of about 3-4 years, of these volleybelles.
Sure, their action photos are fine, but it's My Close-Up portraits of Denden, from two years ago, My On-the-Spot portraits of Abi, during her "internship" with ABS-CBN Sports, last July-October, 2013, and My B-t-Scenes Close-Ups of Alyssa, Den, Abi - as of late -- that are the more precious ones for me.

Yes, she'd easily make for an "Artista", or a shampoo model, {with her thick locks and cover girl looks !} but Alecs's Chosen Passion is News Photojournalism. Fresh from Assumption, this La Salle Collegialla is slowly starting to get noticed.

By some unplanned circumstance - I did manage a real One-on-One, On-the-Spot portrait photo shoot of the young lady,....... {seated on the basketball hardwood, at the Arena, in San Juan} .......Literally, 15 or so minutes after I had been introduced to her!, way back late 2013. I featured a few images from that shoot, in a blog post, last year pa. Whatta Pretty Lady !! - and a Passionate Photographer, at that !!

Well, I just hope these next few images are blogworthy "enuff" .....
