Baseline

during the Ateneo-La Salle Game

How is it being at the baseline - during an Ateneo-La Salle game ?

It's Cool  -

 {Knowing that each and everyone of those 17,00 plus UAAP fans around you 
would gladly take your spot anytime!!}

But it's more fun and enjoyable tho, when one can have light banter {w/ one's "courtmates"}, "kantsaw", joke, compare photos, give high fives {That is - if you're rooting for the same team} - and more so for me -- I can take snaps of them all  - Hahaha !  Why Not   ??

 Trivia - I LOVE slender {beautiful} hands

{I've actually done "hand portraits", and featured them in a blog post -

 June of 2013 -> Bea Fabregas' hands}

{ Hey, I love Long Lenses too !!! }

 Mandy M., Kristine B. [w telephoto lens], Richard E. [obstructed!],

Joseph N.[w glasses], Martin S.[orange]

   

 To my left ->Mandy Mangubat - 

 To my right -> August de la Cruz [blue] and Arvin Lim--

- take a pause

  Couple Alysa Salen / Josh Albelda [above]  and 

Alecs Ongcal [photo below] are seated behind me.

 Alecs and Alysa flash impish grins

{ You should see my portraits of Alecs, in my B-t-Scenes post -

So, So SIMPLE yet So Beautiful ! [both the portraits and Alecs - haha!] }

 Poking fun at me, {and SPOILing my picture of them !} my buddies 

Jerome Ascano and Czar Dancel - point their lenses at me

the second I turn around to take their photos  !!  Nakakapikon !

At least, I get to steal this candid of Jerome, during the 2nd half.

{Photogs like to "come and go", shooting from various locations

 during the course of a match}

Doc Radi Mabasa "drops by" the coveted corner office,

to take action shots too - and greet me w/ a friendly smile.

 

A meter or two, at my six, are these three Ateneo fans -

Just have to take their picture ! 

 The Blue and the Green Corners

In the last few minutes, when the Eagles have the match pretty much

 "in the bag' - I steal candids from my baseline spot -

 On the Blue Corner .....

[near the South basket]

 Laura / Chelsea / Bettina / Van

 Here, one can see Mariana  [w glasses]

On the Green Corner .....

[near the North basket]

 Joseph / Alecs / Kristine / Angel

  [don't know the girl in black]

Here, Gecca [w white collar] enters the frame

On my corner .....

[This is at halftime, tho]

Two pre-game "snaps" follow below.
[taken inside the media room]

An Xtra OOmph !!

Always makes an erstwhile boring/generic image -> a Soulful One

Thanks Again !!

Ken / Angel / Alecs / more so ->Kevin / Andrew / Kristine
