Thank You, Once More -
to the Cuneta Astrodome management , and to Sir Willlie Marcial

PBA Comissioner's Cup

January 28 - Cuneta Astrodome


Barako Bull vs Blackwater
Talk N' text  vs  Rain or Shine

I missed the Barako Bull/Blackwater match because I came from the UAAP Womens' Volleyball Doubleheader, a kilometer or two away, at the MoA.

Caught the Texter vs Painters match, tho, where "The Blur" Jayson Castro was named Player of the Game .....








Talk N' text's import is Richard Howell [#55]


Rain or Shine's import is [seen above, faking off Howell  and de Ocampo  [#33],  Richard Jackson


That's de Ocampo [left photo - in blue- #33] and 
Ganuelas-Rosser [right photo - in blue], challenging the D of Beau Belga 
and Raymond Almazan [respectively]




Jayson Castro's clutch basket, which sealed the W for Talk N' Text

The Tickle


Ki-Li-Ti
KI lig {at Kaluluwa},  LI bog, TI wala



Kiliti Always Wins !!!

Hahaha - Just my way of putting into words - the essentials I look for in my photography - particularly w my B-the-Scenes/On-the-Spot Imagery [during sporting events] - and ALSO with my private work [private portrait sessions - imagery of which I rarely [if ever] - share in my blog ....





 Love it when my subjects Let Go - It IS the ONLY Way To Go !! -That is,
 If ya want a SOULful group shot, by me

 Luckily, these Lady Tigresses, at least, most of them, are quite familiar with me -> the stuff I do - Ergo. It's relatively easy to illicit from them what I Look For - Soul, Lust {for life} - Trust [well, that's a given already]  Right ?  - So as the title goes   .......

 So, WILL, Hopefully, the next few images in this feat will veer to, also  ...




Mga Baliw !

{I actually took about 25 consecutive shots of the Lady Tigers - these are only 3}

Stolen, posed, taken from 20 or so meters away, or close up  - what-EV - I simply like these images .



Subtle - and Bedimpled
 Sel Guevara - doing a stand upper - post game, at the PBA



The Reyeses
 Tropang Texter's Rob Reyes' Lovely Wife, eldest Roderick,
 and baby Ripley cherfully oblige me !  N-N-N --->NICE !!

Not a Crowd
Coach Ojie, Bianca {photographer},{Match MVP vs NU} Cherry Ann Rondina  -  Cherry is a Rookie of the Year contender [as far as I'm concerned]  Good Luck Girl !



Say Cheese !
 Another Rookie of the Year Contender in Lady Eagle Bea de Leon 




Cautious Optimism
UST  Lady Tigers' Head Coach Ojie Mamon
His lady Tigers are on a ROLL !



Jessica Galanza  - No Sweat ?

Adamson took Ateneo {Lady Eagles}, recently, to a five-setter before losing their touch in the latter part of the 5th set - of a match that could have been the Lady Eagles' first loss of the season !  FYI, Galanza top-scored for Adamson

 Anyway - GREAT {Very Commendable} Effort by the Lady Falcons !!   
Way TA Soar !!!

Sweat or No Sweat ?  - Sometimes it IS easy, sometimes it IS Difficult - to craft these types of images - given the Standards I Expect from myself ....

Ya know, Last time - I quoted Steve McCurry {in a blog post}. 
 Steve is a Nat Geo World Class Photographer ....

... Now, you know Harry Connick Jr., a current American Idol Judge - Right ?
Sometime last week, during one of the auditions - he said "something like"
[again I can't remember what he said verbatim - BUT - another one of those "Quotable Words to Live by" resonated in my memory] 

"I like artists who are ALWAYS {and aren't afraid of} Struggling to do the BEST Work of Art they Can Do - At Any Given Time"

So Spoken like a True Artist, Harry  !!

In my own "Brosi-speak", if I may call it that --> I want my Ki-Li-Ti as often as possible  !!


And before I go .....


Hard Core
[L-R]
Toni Rose and Angela Robles, China Ballesteros, Carmela Robles,
 Cheska Ballesteros, Coach Thai

Thanx Coach Thai !

Actually, I'm very frustrated that I have to miss so many UAAP matches {volleyball and baseball AND football during my non-PBA work days due to so many non-photography related concerns - If ONLY !!! - Truth be Told !! 

I have a nephew who plays for the DLSU Football Team - WE are on the 2nd Rnd of the Season already and I haven't even seen a single game of his !!
