I checked the date to know when last time I updated this blog. It's been almost 3 years since the last post. No idea what trigger brought me back here with these new photos. The pieces in this post were captured no so long ago with Fujifilm X10. Yes, I don't shoot with celluloid this time. The reasons is that I don't want to be bothered with after-exposure process. The theme is still similar. Aimless wandering. No goals to conquer.

It was sometime on August 2009. I took my son to Borobudur. All the way back home from there, he insisted that Borobudur was a mosque instead...

It was a sudden plan to attend this event.. I brought my Canonet loaded with Fuji Reala 100. I surprise that the tone is somewhat greeny and reddish at the same time.. I hardly try to remember whether I forgot to cap the yellow filter off..

I moved to Jogja when I was 7 yrs old, but after I lived there for 11 years, this was the firs time I attended and saw "Grebegan". A long-standing tradition started in 1613 which is done 3 times in a year. I know, I don't have any sufficient capability to explain what it is about..Here I did some snapshots...

The sunlight was extremely harsh...



Body armor was necessary..

More than 400 soldiers coming from various sultan palace's brigades were involved in this ceremony..
