Mr B. Taekwon-Do Photobook



A LITTLE HELP NEEDED FOR MR B's BOOK...
I've almost completed Mr B's Taekwon-Do photo book for his family. We've compiled some amazing photos with help from Master McPhail and some recent ones from Sean Hammond and Dane Canton and are up to 380 pages! To top it off I'd love a handful of early 2000 or prior photos. It would also be great to have some photos like Dave awarding a yellow belt to one of his current world champs team members. The photos have to be out there somewhere! Flick me an email to doug@hanna.net.nz if you have any. I'll carefully scan them and return them if you only have prints.

Oh, and if you see any errors, typos or have feedback please let me know.
Cheers, Doug

The best 130 Taekwon-Do Action Images from 5 years of shooting



In the last 5 years I've calculated that I've taken about 100,000 Taekwon-Do action images. About 60% have been discarded leaving 36,000 keepers. Over recent months I went through them identifying the 130 top images, just 0.36%, and produced a large 13" x 11" photo book for our coffee table at home.

I thought that it may also make a great birthday or Christmas gift for anyone who loves Taekwon-Do like we do. You can preview the book here... and, if you're keen, we can order you a copy for delivery anywhere in the world.

Taekwon-Do Action

All images are captioned and there are sections covering patterns, pre-arranged sparring, a large sparring section, power, specialty, plus “random stuff”.

Large format, 13” x 11” (33 x 28cm), 136 pages, NZ$195 (price may vary with USD exchange rate and country of delivery)

2006-2009 Nationals, World Cup and World Champs Photobook



[11/01/2010 Updated images of the photo book pages after corrections and tweaks]

There's nothing like having Christmas for a deadline. I've now completed the 2006-2009 NZ Taekwon-Do Photobook as well as the one focusing solely on the 2009 World Champs and will just be adding a few finishing touches over the next week before ordering the first test samples and beginning work on producing custom versions for all those that have ordered them with extra photos of family members. I've uploaded a screen shot of each double page spread for you to take a look at them.

Because we did so well at the Argentina World Champs the books are a lot larger than expected. I budgeted on 60 pages of world champs coverage but have ended up with 2 pages per medal won (32 medals x 2 = 64 pages) plus pages covering the build up training in Mar Del Plata, opening ceremonies, medal ceremonies etc adds a heap more pages. Versions of the book covering 2006-2009 with extra personalised pages are approaching 300 pages in size! All good stuff though.

2009 World Champs Photobook



11/01/2010 Updated with final images of the pages plus a second cut down "Tournament Edition"

The much awaited NZ Team World Champs 2009 Photobook has been completed at last. It has been more of a mission that I expected, mainly because we did so well! I have two pages coverage for every medal won... that totals 64 pages, let alone adding in a few images of training, other drama and action.

So... the book is much bigger than I planned... 280 pages instead of 160... but I think you may agree it's hard to decide what to cull out and I think it's better to keep the lot. Normally I need one double page spread to cover off the medal ceremony images; this year it is 8 pages!

I've also produced a cut down "Tournament Edition" which only includes the time in Mar Del Plata. A number of families have enquired about getting extra copies to give to family members, parents, grand parents etc and this edition is well suited to this.

Standard edition, covering from pre-trials training through the World Champs tournament in Mar Del Plata, Argentina, 290 pages, 10"x8" hard cover NZ$199 plus local courier...
Tournament edition, covering the time at the World Champs in Mar Del Plata, Argentina, 150 pages, 10" x 8" hard cover, premium paper, NZ$150 plus local courier...
