Neck To Neck
My last Makepung Bull Race session was in 2007. This year’s event held in Negara (14 September 2014), was one of the programs of the 2014 Annual Meeting of the Nusantara Photo Club in Bali. Negara is famous for its thrilling water buffalo races (Makepung), introduced by Madurese migrants to celebrate the end of the rice harvest. The competitive races take place on erratic tracks outside Negara, beginning about 8:00 am before the heat makes the big bulls sluggish. Mostly locals attend this festive event there’s lots of rooting and cheering, and the betting is frantic. The event is very popular among photographers who like to capture the excitement of the race.

A Smiling Face
To me, sharing a joke with your friends is always a happy moment. As a photographer, what is required here is to capture the facial expression at the peak. The brightly lit face emphasized the moment to a further extend. This is an image captured at the 2013 Nusantara Photo Club annual meeting in Solo, Central Java.

Final Rinse Of Batik
To witness the production of Batik, the traditional fabric of Indonesia, in a factory is a very interesting tour. Then, I realize the amount of work involved in the production. Before I left the factory in Solo, Central Java, I stepped into the washing room. I discovered that was the most colourful place for my photographic session.This was an image captured during the 2013 Nusantara Photo Club Annual Meeting.
