Living My New Part of Life

in NEW YORK CITY


It's 2016. Been almost a month I've been here in New York City, United States of America. Many new experiences come hit me perfectly and nicely. For the first time in my life I travel outside Asian country, for the first time in my life I touch snow which look so good on television but not in reality (too cold for me), for the first time in my life of this and that many more.

The main point of getting here to NYC is visiting my brother who works here since two years a go, other than just giving my self a long-term of holiday, my brother, he enrolled me to one of photography school here which I told him that photography is one of my biggest passion so far.

So now, here I am learning about it, photography, from the very fundamental basic theory to practical of various kind of shoots. Uploading some of of them, lesson I got from school, captured band's perfoemance in one of nice bar in lower east side of Manhattan.

Love in Bali

October, 2015. I went to Bali to took pictures of friend's wedding. An Indonesian with a Hungarian. Perfect matched lovely humanbeing who are fallin' love each other. A very nice wedding with only 40 invitation total (including both family). Captured their moments gave me a thought that love shoould be like theirs, not limited by the races, skin color, ages, etc. Their wedding perfectly wrapped with beautiful location pick, Bali.

Here are some of their moments that I got.

When Life Get's Boring

Try new things !

Finally back again to post something new, a new fun, new photos and new learned. It was two months a go. I feel bored a 'lil bit with my days of life, about to go somewhere but have no idea at all that time. Suddenly friends inviting me to joined them to go hiking to a mountain in Garut, West Java, around 7 hours driving to reached.

I never go hiking before, I more into beach than mountain, but I don't want to limit my interest on traveling just like that. So I jumped into my friends idea, and went hiking for the first time in my life ever, and the best plus moment it was my country, Indonesia Independence Day. So, we celebrate it exactly when the sun was rise beautifully. I felt so awesome that time.
