“The Thrilla in Manila” (Ali vs. Frazier) photos. Sold where?

In my 1-click thought, the following are different types of digital photographers:

1. Hobbyist. He doesn’t care about the expenses. Investment in photography blocks his mind.
2. Professional. He considers digital photography as a source of living.
3. Pretender. Self-proclaimed expert. He pretends and thought he knows everything about digital photography by showing off his gadgets.
4. No Photographer. He doesn’t care what he shoots. He just plays around with his unit. What he sees he thinks is a good subject/image.

I belong to the 4th type. I am NO photographer. I just take pictures of whatever I think and feel I know is good and beautiful. I don’t care if people (especially those 3 types mentioned above) will criticize me. I just feel happy I can see things in different angles and take pictures of them.

Got a chance to stay in Caesars Palace through LA-based high roller Mario Ringpis. I didn’t know who Neil Leifer was until I saw his shots in his gallery at the ground floor of Caesars Palace in Las Vegas last May 2009. Marvelous to see his products especially the “Thrilla in Manila 1975″.

I am uploading the original photos straight from my Canon G9 and Leica C-Lux2. All photos taken using the Canon G9. NO iPhoto or Photoshop edit. Nothing but an ordinary point and shoot converging the eye, click and a Mac.
