Marginal Kids in East Jakarta

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Indonesia | Friday, July 5, 2013 | 5 photos


For all my life, I narrowly interpret photography as simple as capturing pictures. My instruments for photography are also simple, sometimes I use digital camera, but most of the times I use my mobile’s camera to take pictures. This understanding had already changed since the first time I captured some poor kids in Jakarta. I dig something deeper about just “capturing”, especially the fact that the moments you captured will remain forever. Further, photography is the art of creating stories on your view of the word to the world.

Now, Photography is becoming my passion. It’s like oxygen for me because I always want to capture all the moments that I passed and things that I seen. Thus, this scholarship would be the best training for me to improve my skill in photography. Jason’s expertise and mentoring would really help me increasing my skill to be a good photographer.

Hopefully I can always beautifully capture moments in this life because I don’t want to miss a thing. and yeah, I don't want you to miss my beautiful stories as well. :)
