[Liking the PBA]

Gotta admit, I really didn't like the PBA that much when I first shot my first PBA match ever, last Oct.2 [just right after Ateneo's 4-peat - Oct.1].  Being a UAAP die-hard, I kept on comparing the UAAP demographic to the PBA's, which, of course will never be the same.  The demographic counts, yes, but at the end of the day,  it's about the B in PBA - Basketball.  Eventually, [it grew on me] after close to two months of shooting the PBA, I got to like it - appreciate it - and now I get excited everytime I enter the Araneta for a PBA game. Now, I have favorite players - and a few I utterly dislike like [won't say his name na lang], who is also disliked by many other his co-PBA players.  Now, I get to chat [do a little PR] randomly to some players, make a few acquaintances here and there.  I'm happy with that. It helps me enjoy my PBA photography and somehow makes for better photogrpahs.

In this post I won't comment about the match - just put a few stats and share my pics.  Hope you guys like the captured moments.
