"Ibu coming up from the Beach"


This day i was working with waves...but suddenly this woman appeared and i couldn't resist the temptation. There's always someone who is gonna come to you and offer the picture. Just waiting.

"Waves". August 07 - 943.

'Waves". August 07 - 1297.


I love water... and I love the waves... specially when the liquid "becomes" solid. The most pure abstract art of nature as well as the Clouds.

"Pak Isni"


"Pak Isni", from Jawa. He works like a gardener.

"Bicycle Reflection".


Sometimes, after the rain, life appears like a mirror over the floor, mixed with different kind of objects that float in the water. Sometimes is just rabish, but sometimes is a beautiful thing like a flower.

"Hands" - The Future.

Hands. One of my favorite topics. Not only for the beauty and aesthetic, also for the power to create any kind of marvelous things. A friend of mine told me once that my obsession with hands is because my own hands are broken in multiple parts. Could be.

In Bali, as in the majority of Indonesia, the rings are not only a decorative accessory. They symbolize power. Political and social power. But at the same time and more important in deed is the character of protection against bad energies and spirits. In other words, protection against black magic.

Made of Silver or Gold together with a very special "stone". This "stones" are believed to have special magical powers. I have heart amazing stories about it. This rings need a very special care, as for example they have to leave the rings out before coming into the toilet or places considered not cleaned.

"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.
