UAAP Womens' Volleyball

January 29 - Mall of Asia Arena

Lady Tigers on a Roll

UST started  Season 77 with a win over UE, only to lose their next five matches.  On their last match of the 1st Rnd, they finally notched [only] their second win.

 Now, as of late, Coach Ojie Mamon's volleybelles are slowly, but surely some momentum - blanking the NU Bulldogs [yesterday] in three.  

I arrived at the MoA Arena - right smack into the beginning of Set 3

  - and here are just four of my favorite images from that final set.

Match MVP is rookie Cherry Ann Rodina [#11]

It Does Happen .....

- Post Shoot Erotica -

Sometimes, when one doesn't try to Look Hot, that's when one can become so Totally Hot - Now, where did hear that ?

Anyway - It's happened so many times before - come to think of - as I'm reviewing  my images from a recent shoot how Totally Hot, or rather ->Subtley Erotic my subjects come across - For whatever reason - Only After my post portrait shoot scrutiny. 

The thing is - when I'd look back at those [sometimes "no-look" moments] during the shoot - never was it in my conscious mind at those moments photographed, to be aware of the erotic angle/undertones of the images, 
as I am actually clicking away - maybe, I'm just, as always, so concerned about getting the image right - Deftly composed, expose and timed.

Below are several images from one-on -one portrait shoots which, when I eventually scrutinized, at home - made me realize how "strongly erotic", or, how much of a Turn-On the girls really were -  without me even being conscious about it at all - at least, during those moments I was actually shooting the photos

There are more instances than these three examples -wherein I experienced that post shoot turn-on

I have actually confided in some of my close friends {portrait subjects} that I eventually found some of their images So So [SO] Erotic, albeit only after post shoot scrutiny, or rather EVERY TIME I'd look back at certain images

Thing IS - though - when I actually shoot - I'm so concerned with getting the right Exposure, Composition and Timing of my clicks - that I'm never consciously aware of certain things -  and more often than not -> Realize, then React, only after a certain time frame - which could be just seconds after I shoot several frames  - or sometimes hours - even a day or two - after an image [or set of images] eventually "grows on me" .........
 

Yup, It Does Happen

How often then ? - You ask ......

That - I will not answer

Once in a while - as I randomly come across an image or two,  [Three or four even] - in my hard drives -  I get these random trends of though or I feel  that somehow I can make sense of it all - simply by combining several images together to suggest a theme or mood  - That's all.

Why Not ? bro ?  As long as the pictures "say something" No ?

Call it "flexing my ability to articulate"  through a minimum of words and images.   Just like breathin' in and breathin' out  ......

Know what I'm sayin  ?? -   Bottom Line - I'm just sharin  ..

Why Not ?

PBA Philippine Cup - My Parting Shots

Game 7

Behind-the-Scenes  

Always an advantage if one comes early - Settle down at the Press Room, Wi-Fi a bit and all.  As a result, I was able steal some candids of Doug Kramer, Arwind Santos, Coach Compton, Coach Austria and correspondent Jinno Rufino. 

Is that Kyla Uytengsu, in the middle, with some friends ?

[correct me if I'm wrong]

The Sports 5 Posse of Mara Aquino, Erika Padilla, Aaron Atayde, and Nikko Ramos went on live streaming video, on-line on "Sports 360",  long, long minutes way before the match.

Apple David, Mara Aquino and Mandy Mangubat risked getting wet, inside the San Miguel dugout.  Would have made {SANA} from some great wet-on-the-spots bro ! - Well, anyway I'm fine with these { I too was very careful not to get wet, lest my DSLR be doused }.

Definitely, a one-of-a-kind  "Group AND Solo Shot All-In-One" opp that unexpectedly presented itself - Was I So Lucky to have shot 3 frames as Iogan Azur Santos {Arwind Santos' youngest among 4} simply came and went into frame - pausing for a few fleeting seconds in front of the group of 31 photogs,  AND illiciting a burst of "emotion" from the erstwhile impatient photogs ----- {waiting for the Alaska  and San Miguel Teams to take to the platform for the usual photo opp} ----- that simply MADE this picture what it is.

Smokin' !!!
