behind the Tears? is a coffee table book by ace photographer Jun de Leon.
Spread over 100 plus glossy pages are portraits of 50 personalities who have rendered their time, effort and their priceless celebrity for this project spearheaded by the Eye Bank Foundation of the Philippines (EBFP), under the Tears of Hope, Tears of Health advocacy campaign. The book is a fundraising effort to finance EBFP’s endeavors, mainly making sight restoring corneal transplants available to people from all walks of life, research, maintaining an eye banking training center, and undertaking information campaign on eye health and corneal donation.
behind the Tears? will be launched today, September 9, 2006 6PM at the Powerbooks Live, Greenbelt 4, Makati City. Proceeds from the sale will go to the sight restoration program of EBFP. Portraits will also be on display in Greenbelt 3 from September 10 to 16, 2006

Good day. I am a big fan of Jun de Leon and his works. Last year, Great Image (the company I work with) produced a series of workshops for serious photography hobbyists and enthusiasts. I was lucky to have had Dominique James, Jo Avila, Louie Aguinaldo and PCCI President Jun Miranda as my guest-lecturers.
This year, I am eyeing who celebrity photographers all say is the “father of celebrity photography” in the Philippines, no less than Jun de Leon as my lecturer. I was wondering if you could help me contact Mr. de Leon…any e-mail or mail address or a contact number will be a big, big help.
Thank you in advance.
