reading zeal

Reading zeal?

cultivating ignorance

The T-shirt reads: "Ignorance is cultivated, poverty is increased, unemployment is multiplied."

Worn by a street vendor "invading" the sidewalks, I think it's a voice against the invasion of the capitalist big players who leave no room but the streets to the small players like them.

hello...!

sorry folks, it's reserved!

Sorry folks, this part of the sidewalk is reserved! By me, of course (and those billboard poles, if you happen to notice). I'm a tire patcher. I work to help those motorists who have flat tire. But right now, I'm busy with my cell phone. So, please don't distrub me. And yeah, you may walk on the street so that you can get hit by the car. That's none of my business, though. ^_^

soft drink boy

A boy selling soft drinks on the pavement of Asia Afrika Street.

going international

This road-side shop on Ranggagading Street calls itself "Warung Internasional" (International Kiosk).

What does it mean to be or go international though?

autoparts

An autopart mall is currently being built at Banceuy. Who's going to be in and out and sidelined?

iron [man]

Since antiquity, the symbol for iron has been the symbol of Mars, which now is also used as the symbol for man.

I'm terrified at supplying words for this photograph. Words can do a lot of things. They can change realities, define and limit them, perform things - great and small, wicked or benevolent. So, I'll humbly let you form your own words for this image.

perception of danger

Anything can happen on the street. Risk may only be a matter of perception.

wrong message

Organic waste, non-organic waste, paper waste. The idea is good. But without consistency and enforcement, things like this can be sending the wrong message.

we used to call ourselves, freaks

Somewhere in this picture, it's written: "We used to call ourselves, freaks." And the name is Unforgiven.

unmathematical

Just like the streets, street photography is unmathematical. Yes there are numbers, but they don't add up to a formulaic certainty.

showing off

At Jalan Cihampelas, a popular commercial street without any functioning sidewalks.

guttery window

Don't ask me how it got there.

misplaced

In a system, one misplaced thing leads to another and another.
