Kusamba’s Dawn


One of my favorite places for photographic outing in Bali is Kusamba. The attraction here is the mood and atmosphere of the landscape at dawn. The black colour of volcanoes soil gave a strong base for the whole image. The waves in white gushing in from the sea added good contrast. The workers who were harvesting the sea water for salt provided the touch of human interest. Even as an almost monochromatic image, the aesthetics of this pictorial image is still very rich. This image was awarded the Photo Travel Medal of the Golden Spurs International Salon, Belgium, in 1992.
