Being in front of a monitor for hours can be frustrating especially when digging and digging the same subjects. Am not an artsy, but seeing this kind of pieces, it's indeed a relief. *Taken from Bazzar Art Jakarta that held in Pacific Place some times ago* Xoxo, Sha~

Surfing old photos and found out this pic. Went there with Andi. Btw, he told me that he just passed his test and get 1st rank during his training in Abu Dhabi. Glad for him :) Xoxo, Sha~

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~

Ini adalah work trip terjauh saya. Jepang. Ya, setelah tahun lalu perjalanan menuju negeri Sakura ini gagal karena masalah Visa, akhirnya saya mendapat kesempatan lagi bertolak ke sana. Kali ini, urusan visa lancar. Undangan pergi ke sana datang dari Canon. People say, i was so lucky to receive that calling. But I personally say that it was a tough job, with lot of pressure. Saya bahkan ga sempet mikirin bakal mau eksplore tempat mana saja selama di sana or simply what to buy there. Yang ada di pikiran sebelum berangkat hanya...pertanyaan-2 yg saya siapkan untuk interview dan persiapan materi-2 kerjaan lainnya. Remember, this isn't a holiday. This is a work trip! ^^ But, i would lie if there's no fun upon it. Kalau mau diprosentase.... 30:70 lah. 30 fun-nya, sisanya pressure dan work work work. Haha :D Di blog ini saya hanya akan nulis soal fun-nya saja ya selama seminggu di sana (5 full days + 2 days for trip). Let's begin with.. #Japan day 1 ...
