Baq'aa Boxing

I just got done with shooting a photo essay on "Al-Baq'aa Boxing Club" for Nox magazine (www.nox-mag.com)
It was a successful shoot. I spent two days with one of the boxers and two days at the training facility.
Al-Baq'aa is one of the largest Palestinian refugee camps in Jordan. The stories of these boxers are amazing. One was a cobbler, and now he works as a life guard at a pool. He's been Jordan's champion for the past 12 years.
Another one has been banned from representing jordan in international tournaments because he refused to play against an Israeli boxer.
I want to continue this piece later on, there is a tournament coming up in january.
May do a day of the fight thing.
Shot this with both my digital and the leica.
The magazine wants the color pictures.
Yet i think a hint of b&w wouldn't have hurt.
I knew that from the beginning, so i used the leica to make personal pictures.
Can't wait to see the piece printed and published.

End of the year is coming up, I'm shooting one of the biggest parties in Amman.
It's got a circus theme.
Will make for good photos, inshalla.

I also need to learn how to make hyperlinks and post pictures in journals.

Till then...
