A short note from the photographer:
In my sophomore year photographing the Jessup, after a one-year hiatus in which I missed the Philippine team (from my father's alma mater, no less) take home the cup, I was pleasantly surprised to see familiar faces among the crush of new ones. The international round is an incredible gathering, a time to make new friends and reunite with old in addition to being the culmination of many months of preparation on everyone's part. Congratulations to everyone on making it to the international rounds, congratulations to the Iraqi team on a strong showing in your first appearance, and I hope to see you all again next year.
