"Faces" - Beautiful Javanese Lady.

"Faces" - 676.

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.

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??

"I Love U 2"

Big cremation ceremony. Few months ago. In a small village out of the touristic routes. Thousands of Balinese in one of the most important moments of their lives. The Death.
I couldn't recognize what this man said to me, although I guess anything but handsome. I love u too Pak.

"Mystic Woman"

This picture is one of my favorites ones. I was sure that if I stop by in front of this woman and prepare the camera for the shoot, she would have changed her position and also, almost sure, she wouldn't like me to take the image. So I decided to place my camera very low so she could not even imagine I was shooting at her. And miracle, here she was.

"Woman's Shadow"

I don't know yet what the magic of shadows are...but in somehow is something mysterious and mystic. And once again, the image came to me with out searching for it, just waiting on the side of the road.

"Show Must Go On"

Ceremony. Once again. And suddenly, with out warning, the rain started falling like if it were the first time. And the Show Must Go On. As quick as you can, move on and move on...

"Volcano" - Gunung Agung.

This is when the magic of photography makes me really happy. When suddenly the image, in perfect composition, appears in front of me with out looking for it previously.

"Daily Shower"

Many people still don't have current water at their homes. And as they have been doing for hundred of years they visit the closest river every day. To have a fresh shower and wash their daily clothes is a common image all around. This beautiful woman was not (apparently) worry or shy of having her "Mandi" few meters in front of me. Of course I asked her permission. Here she is. Lovely.

"Cock Fighters"

Cock fighting is an ancestral tradition in Bali. Long time ago it was an offering to the spirits and Gods. These events are celebrated after the ceremonies close to the temples. But on these times, Balinese bet money. A lot of money. Some of them lose everything they have. Like in Las Vegas?? Why not.

'Waves" - 07 - 182

We all know the influence that the moon provokes on the oceans, specially on Full Moon. These are few images of the effect of the Moon. Once a month a have the luck of watching the see. The power of the waves are so intense that after breaking the water becomes foam,what provokes that effect of solid water.
And if all of that, we can "delete" the effect of the sun and create the sensation of a night shooting... this is the result.
