Boxing.I really needed the soundtrack of Rocky in this one.
I'm glad to have a position ring side, though it gets really challenging.
Today, we went to chase a boxer from India, apparently there is this amazing story about her.
Child to farmers, poor family who idolised jacky chan and loved boxing secretly, she took up the sport and did well. Now a mother of twin boys, she's trying to make a come back in the boxing scene.

Sometimes, we work as a team where photographer and reporter head out in hunt for the same thing.
In this case, my job was not so much to cover the boxing matches itself but to take photos of a particular boxer for a feature story that Eric was doing.
Sometimes, they say that photography is a very lonely profession.
You meet people and they tell you their life stories in 8 minutes, and you become best friends.
Then you leave and you never meet again.
Sometimes however, you get to work with wonderful people in different countries, focussing on different events from what you are used too. It's great to have a great team to work with. Even if it was just for 4 hours in a day.
