"Three Women on the Market"

"The Woman and the Drummer"

"Surprise"

"Make Up"

"A Man in the Middle"

this is a very clear example of my love to photography. From hundreds of people meeting together at the same place, suddenly appears this image. The simple action of eliminating what is not really necessary, the image can make you imagine more of what you see.

"Trance"

Since very early age, children take part of the ceremonies, and in many cases with special intensity. This is called "Kecak" Dance. And this boy got very deep into the ritual, I would say getting almost into an state of trance.

"Portable Shop"

Shops on two wheels. Many of the people don't have to go out of their houses for buying the necessary staff for the daily uses. A simple bicycle is more than enough to carry on all the supermarket.

I realized the amazing thing of this picture when I edit it and found the child having exactly the same facial expression as her grandma had. How curious but how real. We are just what we have learned. We can modify certain things, true. This little boy was playing total attention to her grandma. A monkey learns how to be a monkey from another monkey... a bird learns how to fly from another bird... a flower will smell like another flower, and so on.

"Two Worlds, One World"

How close we are one to the other, but at the same time how far. Just a simple wooden fence separating our bodies, few centimeters one to the other. Their world, which I can only observe and respect, and my world. I would like to know how many questions they asked about the "white man" who is at the other side. We are, undoubtedly different. But not that much at the end. Maybe we have the same questions to make.

"Inside the Truck"

Many are the Balinese who not having any other way of transport, have to go to the big events inside the trucks. Is the same world, the same place, the same moment, the same atmosphere. But looks like two different worlds. Inside and outside. But only one at the end. They are curious about me, so I am with them.

"Dancing Hands"

This group of women were training a dance for a special ceremony, different one because in this case they also sing, something not very usual. And the dancing hands started moving in a hypnotic movement having even their own life.

"Sunrise at Sanur Beach and Bale"

A new day. And thanks God we can see it. Sanur Beach is an amazing place to watch the Sunrise. It's an explosion of color and light giving you an enormous energy for facing the new day.

"Water Works" - 29

My last three post have been quite deep and for some people maybe pretty melancholic, but they are not. I only pretended to throw some hope in the middle of this crazy world that we live on. So I'm gonna finish today with beautiful images. The children were also very beautiful too. Wish you all a very nice day.

"Faces" -60

Her name is Komang. A lovely Balinese girl who used to play with me and my dog at the beach everyday. We had lot of fun together. My dog was poisoned one year ago and passed away. Now I don't go to the beach very often...and I miss my dog and I miss Komang too. God bless them both.

"Faces" - 1068

Children. Eternal treasure. How much we change since we were young. But do we want to change? We have to. And how do we change? Are we aware of that changes? Are we what we want to be? We are the consequence of our experiences. And we want to change the world? Teaching our children on our own mistakes??
Someone said once that we can not look for solutions with the same language with that created that problems. Right. Big true.

"Faces". 18

Someone said to me once that the people on pictures don't smile. Well, i don't ask them not to do it. I'm just an observer. And is in these moments when you can capture the real feeling of what people, ordinary but extraordinary people have in their hearts. This is one of the many faces that to me have a very special meaning. This is once again the language of photography. The triangle between the subject, the camera, and the observer.

"Fighting Cock"

This animal is waiting his turn for a new fight. It's trained for that. Only the strongest one will have another opportunity. Life is for the strongest ones. That's the Natural Law. Is it??
