I still have around 600 pictures to edit. While I am trying to publish them as fast as I can, I have the luxury of editing them to correct the composition and bring art to a sport that many associate with violence. I love all the pictures that I have published so far. From more than 2,300 pictures at the end of the event, these pictures made it into the final cut, and less than 50% of the pictures go that far. The rest are not that bad, but I do not believe they are at the level that the athletes and their relatives deserve.
So here are the two pictures that I have selected like the best from this event.
In the first image, you can see a father encouraging his son to keep going and do his best to win. Technically, it may not be the best picture, but the message in that picture is so powerful! Teach your kids not to lose their humanity, no matter what sport they are practicing. I have seen kids going into a fight with the goal of harming the opponent, and that is unacceptable.
The second picture is eye-catching! Her performance was good, but everything about her seems designed to be visually perfect. I don’t like that the background of this picture is so busy, but after all, you are in a competition and you can’t choose the background. I may take the picture later on when I’m done editing the rest of the pictures and replace the background with a more suitable one. Stay tuned.
During the competition our grandson Liam decided to give me a private (in public) Bo demonstration. I loved it! Thanks Liam!
Overall, I ended up tired, but satisfied! Thanks USA Sport Karate and Jeremy Roque for letting me roam on the floor capturing these moments.
