Photos & Words

The end of the school year is approaching fast here in Jakarta. Sometime I cycle through streets that are closed to traffic because of year-end ceremonies . That brings food sellers outside the gate of  schools where kids go and buy a snack.

A bit of editing around this office tower in South Jakarta.

It has been raining hard yesterday afternoon. Today on my way to work there were still many puddles in the street. At stop at this one because I like the image of the clouds in the sky.

I cycle pass this tiny piece of green playground in Dharmanwangsa every day (for the past 2 years) and have never seen this hidden statue. Today I saw it with the corner of my eye maybe in a subliminal search for the new photo to post today. I cycled pass, turned back and took my camera to take the photo. It is really amazing to realise how many things we do not see in our daily life. […]

There was this bird cage hangin on a wall nearby my house this morning. They are quite common in Jakarta. People put the cages out in the morning. Sometime they clean them with water and dry them as the one you see here. There are birdsong contests (here) and bird cages can be seen quite often on teh back of motorbikes travelling across the city.

These are the shadows I saw this morning on the my bicycle commute to work. There was a strong sun and an unusual clear sky in Jakarta.

Sunday. I was walking nearby our house in south Jakarta this afternoon when I saw these two men playing chess. I liked the pose of the elder man and how concentrated he was on the game. Continuing with the project: 1 photo per day for 35 days with a 35mm focal length. Learning.
