Teaching for a Cause

First of all, I have been gone for a while, I know.  The transition from one job to the next is never easy, especially if you have been there for a while.  I know I have a lot to catch up on, and I'll try my best to keep posting for the next few days.

Moving on, about a month ago I had a shoot for a personal project that involves I admire.  He was one of my former employees, who is also an avid (and very good at it, I'd say) fencing player.  He's been out of competition since his college days, but this did not stop him from enjoying the sport he loves.  He's currently training kids in their area the sport, as well as establishing a team for competition here and abroad. Too, bad I don't have a photo of him, but at least I have some of his team. He has worked really hard, getting these kids trained, getting sponsors, as well as getting the kids into school through scholarships.

His efforts has been fruitful, as a number of his students recently placed third in an international fencing tournament held in Manila.  I thought I'd give them some nice portraits as my tribute to their efforts.

The top most photo recently won a branding contest (more on this soon), and that just made me thought that this needs to be posted soon.  I'm glad I did this project and glad that we had fun at it.
