I'm recently spent 3 days in East Java: Surabaya, Bromo and Malang.  Bromo is a beautiful place and worth spending the cold morning there if you are sunrise hunter. (I'm excluded). That was my second time to go there. Both of them, are great trip because of lovely people I went with. *For Mega, Opik, and the funny Mr Icha, love u guys *kecup* Yes, I'm not sunrise or sunset lover, so when I got to see the sunrise,  I prefer to shoot the crowds versus that golden moment It’s more interesting to me. But it didn't stop me to shot the yellow sun tho, just to enrich my gallery ;) Brought Fujifilm X-M1 to Bromo wasn't a wrong choice. Instead of carrying bulky camera which is heavy and actually hamper me from moving around, I choose to bring that entry-level camera (this is what Fujifilm called its positioning). But despite 'entry-level' category, the mirrorless X-M1 does amaze me, thx to the high quality of Fujifilm X-series and the sharpnes...

Sometimes u forget how old u are, and just bumping to the gigs with friends. Yes, gig is for everyone, any age, any gender. In case some people think the opposite. *yes they does. Who doesn't love with the band anyway. I've been falling in love with SORE since I was in college. Some interesting facts about them are: all of the band members playing their instrument with their left hand, or in Bahasa it's called 'kidal'. Also, all the members are take the vocal role :)

Sometimes, there's a little surprise about the person I met with.  One day, i interviewed a photographer that turns out to be Sore manager. The other day, i met a photography community, and the person i interviewed, is happens to be the drummer of this super cozy band. Let me introduce you, Backwood Sun : ) (Location: @america, Pacific Place) " We were inspired and influenced from middle early 60's to 70's pop and rock music like Bob Dylan, The Byrds, Neil Young, The Zombies,  Van Morrison, Fleetwood Mac and Vashti Bunyan.  Our music is heading to east psychedelics. And we emphasize on the luxurious vocal harmonization, and involve the luxurious emotion in each inspiration in writting our song. Imaging the east romance and then born the sounds that we call Magic Folk" Xoxo Sha~
