It is always nice to see kids having fun. Our guide prearranged this shoot for us at this water-spill around Klungkung, Bali. When we arrived the kids just appeared from the neighbouring houses. We were supposed to photograph them in better early morning light. Unfortunately some of the participants were hungry after the sunrise shoot [...]

Ibu of Ubud market

Those who have been to the Ubud market in Bali would reconize this ibu – she runs a stall selling souvenirs at one of the sidelanes there. I make it a point to visit her each time I am there. I usually just chat with her but during the last visit in Jan 2010 I [...]

Having fun

As part of the village tour we came to this waterfall where we met this group of children having fun. I climbed down to the riverbank, and while standing precariously (for my gears) on some rocks and shooting through some overhanging vines, I grabbed this hot. This shot reminded me of my more adventurous younger [...]

Bali - here we come again!

To those who may not know the Melasti festival is an annual festival where the villagers purify [...]

Pak Sara's grin

At Pura Tirta Empul at Tampaksiring

Being the beginning of a new moon we expected some activities at this temple that has a holy spring withing its compound. When we arrived at late morning there was already a hive of activities there. Devotees of all ages were performing their prayers and cleansing rituals.

Cleansing ritual.

Crowd.

Pak Gulam of Bedulu Village

As part of our village photography tour we met Pak Gulam at Bedulu village at his home. He is 72 yrs old and presently lives alone after his only son got married and moved out. He still manages his farm nearby and keeps a fighting cockerel as a hobby.

Here are some shots of [...]

At Pura Desa Mas

The procession soon arrived at the temple Pura Desa Mas. Along the road leading to the temple we met this group of children who were more than happy to pose for us.

You want to take our photos?

A bit shy initially.

But soon warmed up to it.
