These two articles written by Mr Brown, sprinkled with photos from me give a fabulous feel for our team's performance:
Morning - "3 Bronze's in Patterns!"
Afternoon - "Giant killer female team wins silver, team pattern!"
Saturday 29/8/2020: In compiling this historic content I discovered that I had a whole lot of images missing from the day. This was the first international event that I'd covered and I was also learning quickly what was important to photograph but had a long way to go. I saw photos of mine on the articles in the links above that weren't in my library. I looked on one of my archive Hard Drives and they weren't there either. So, out came the CDs from 2006. However, at this stage we don't have a computer capable of reading a CDROM. I'll have to try a machine at work next week. [Sunday: I borrowed a portable CD ROM drive from a friend and recovered the missing images. They included much of the afternoon with male and female team patterns performances, Jess and David's pre-arranged sparring plus male special technique with Chris, Sam and Shane.
An overview of the day (including all performances)...
500 images from the day for those wanting to see their performance in more detail...
Today the team splash about in the pool before breaking into groups. I took the trip out with others in a couple of vans to take up up a historic mountain with a view of the city.

And the next day I must have taken a break from photography with Mr Brown reporting this...
Today we explored parts of the city. For many it sure was eye opening.
It was hot but the team needed to train so the covered hotel car park was chosen. I loved the raw look of it, with bright side lighting, and an almost ghetto look. I captured some long time personal favourite images here.
Taekwon-Do
Motivated by my sons Jeremy and Mark's dedication to Taekwon-do I photographed many events between 2006 and 2013 including NZ training sessions, camps, tournaments, gradings, and all of the World Championships and World Cup events. This blog features that coverage.
