It's awesome that I got a chance to photographed Dian Sastro, one figure that I adored long time ago. *shy shy* These snapshots were taken during the Molto Ultra Aroma Essence in Jakarta Fashion Week 2013. This occasion was also an opportunity announced Dian Sastro as the brand ambassador for this product range.

There goes the photos...

Atiqah Hasiholan, Anne Avanti's muse, also was there. She looked astonishing with the kebaya..

One time I took my fam to a dinner at Bu Ageng. It's a new restaurant owned by Butet Kertaredjasa, a renowned artist of Jogja. Seemed that my fam enjoyed the food so much.

Invasion

Come Back

noreply@blogger.com (Lucius Dinto Pramudyo) — Fri, 25 May 2012 16:30:00 +0000

I checked the date to know when last time I updated this blog. It's been almost 3 years since the last post. No idea what trigger brought me back here with these new photos. The pieces in this post were captured no so long ago with Fujifilm X10. Yes, I don't shoot with celluloid this time. The reasons is that I don't want to be bothered with after-exposure process. The theme is still similar. Aimless wandering. No goals to conquer.

Family trip to Borobudur

noreply@blogger.com (Lucius Dinto Pramudyo) — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 14:22:00 +0000

It was sometime on August 2009. I took my son to Borobudur. All the way back home from there, he insisted that Borobudur was a mosque instead...

When I had an interest in my culture..

noreply@blogger.com (Lucius Dinto Pramudyo) — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 05:20:00 +0000

It was a sudden plan to attend this event.. I brought my Canonet loaded with Fuji Reala 100. I surprise that the tone is somewhat greeny and reddish at the same time.. I hardly try to remember whether I forgot to cap the yellow filter off..

I moved to Jogja when I was 7 yrs old, but after I lived there for 11 years, this was the firs time I attended and saw "Grebegan". A long-standing tradition started in 1613 which is done 3 times in a year. I know, I don't have any sufficient capability to explain what it is about..Here I did some snapshots...

The sunlight was extremely harsh...

Body armor was necessary..

More than 400 soldiers coming from various sultan palace's brigades were involved in this ceremony..

Something About Us

noreply@blogger.com (Lucius Dinto Pramudyo) — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 16:19:00 +0000

It might not be the right time
I might not be the right one
But there's something about us I want to say
Cause there's something between us anyway

I might not be the right one
It might not be the right time
But there's something about us I've got to do
Some kind of secret I will share with you

I need you more than anything in my life
I want you more than anything in my life
I'll miss you more than anyone in my life
I love you more than anyone in my life

World with strangers

noreply@blogger.com (Lucius Dinto Pramudyo) — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 14:24:00 +0000

It's fake, a jargon, "World without strangers".
Somehow remind me to my childhood... nostalgic..and that feelings arose suddenly...

Gathering with Kaskus Members

noreply@blogger.com (Lucius Dinto Pramudyo) — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 11:56:00 +0000

Last week I just discovered a thread in Kaskus that its participants have interest in old cameras. One day after I joined them in a gathering in Sudirman-Thamrin area. I enjoyed the sharing and discussion..Thanks for inviting me in....

Sharing to you guys...

Believe me.. it's the only scene that caught my eyes...

Sorry, I don't have much photos to be shared.. This expired Neopan blew up some snapshots.. :)

Feel the morning scene in Jakarta

noreply@blogger.com (Lucius Dinto Pramudyo) — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 15:08:00 +0000

Sudirman and Karet area were still an intriguing place to be explored. I could stay longer than approx. 20 mins in one stop point. It's exciting to grab some eye catching moment or composition. I exposed these on the same film as posted in previous entry.

First scene before I started my wandering...

Taxi

noreply@blogger.com (Lucius Dinto Pramudyo) — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 12:42:00 +0000

This idea arose when I went home late in the morning. Those taxi parked with the sign loght on. I then stopped by to capture some snapshots.

It's my first time exposing positive slide. Just 10 frames are acceptable in some extent. The rest are overexposed..

Aside, I sometimes hardly imagine how the taxi drivers can outlive inside the car more than 6 hours a day, 5 days a week. Another severe fact, driving in such a dreadful traffic jam in Jakarta is a nightmare. I believe they don't have any better choice..

City tour guide

noreply@blogger.com (Lucius Dinto Pramudyo) — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 09:31:00 +0000

Accompanied my friend, Joselito 2 months ago to find some new scenes *yes, I experienced a lag time to upload here* . I met him in 2001 and saw his face again after 5 years. We talked a lot about our life, how we progress and so on..

On that time, I really wanted to visit Menteng Park, a new park built to revitalize a football court. But, I found that this spot only be composed of a maze of glassed pyramids. It's not what I imagined about this place. After 30mins, we left this place... not much to explore.

We then continued our journey meeting another friend to have a lunch. He's James who always goofing around..

Next day in the morning, we headed north toward the Jakarta Kota. After walked around in this area, we entered the Museum Fatahillah as Joselito never been here.

This man did some exercise and sat on the one of the canon collections in this square park.

This man slept right in the front of museum's main gate. The funny thing was that few minutes prior to opening time, he had awaken and gone...

The securities ensured that there's no cars parked in the area..

A place to be a shelter in the lee of a tree.. the sun was very bright that time..

Ironically, the beggar still bore in the harsh sunlight..

I need to checked my Yashica GSN up. As some photos looked overexposed, I see a possibility that my camera has a light leak.

Get out...

noreply@blogger.com (Lucius Dinto Pramudyo) — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 13:23:00 +0000

We understand that life is a journey. There are so many directions, but, sometimes we are stranded in off beam or even cul-de-sac. One thing I realize is that I am patronized in a routine life.

I went to a holiday with my big family some months ago. Trying to find for any treasure what people say as "helicopter view". As a result, It's a phase to grab some new perspective.

This photo series show the extent of my understanding into this journey. It's simply about happiness and sadness. The basic feeling of human being...

It's relieving...

Monas revisit

noreply@blogger.com (Lucius Dinto Pramudyo) — Wed, 21 May 2008 04:21:00 +0000

Made a call for my friend few months ago asking him to go to Monas (National Monument). It's windy and cloudy. The museum prepared to open and some people waited in the line nicely.

It's my very first time stepped inside the museum. By using lift, I went up directly to the top of the monument. I could see some part of Jakarta from the top. Still... bad weather, it started raining. My watch shows that it's almost ten, the light had been flat. So, I looked around and snapped some moments. Here we are..

Glorious of human race...

Happy family day...

Employee Gathering: Lido, Sukabumi

noreply@blogger.com (Lucius Dinto Pramudyo) — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 06:31:00 +0000

Few snapshots during the employee gathering in Lido, Sukabumi. One of the agenda is called "leisurely walk", seeing the surrounding life around the resort. Taken with Sony cybershot pocket camera, P200.

The event itself was totally fun, my team has appointed to organize this gathering. The day before, we had a free activity and I chose rafting. It's cool, I could splash the water to my bos..haha..Unfortunately, I don't have any "appropriate" picture when we did rafting.

I've no idea whether this man has something to do with the "gada-gada" (to show wind direction, anyone can advise me the correct word in English?). Lido Lake Resort owns a runway for light glider.

An old woman passed me. That's it..

A farmer. She's wondering what I did to her..

Abandoned area

noreply@blogger.com (Lucius Dinto Pramudyo) — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 10:36:00 +0000

Captured these photos 4 months ago. This place is so familiar for me..where my mum works at. Place where my Dad exhaled his last breath (so Indonesian proverb). Abandoned part in Sardjito Hospital, Yogyakarta, a state owned hospital in the city. It's also used by intern of medical students to accomplish their study as a physical doctor.

I brought my Yashica GSN loaded with Neopan SS at ISO 100. It's the very first time I used this camera. I didn't compensate the ISO although the battery was 6 Volt instead of 5.6 Volt, the dedicated voltage.

I found that it has a user friendly focusing tilt rather than on Canonet. The bigger physical body helped me to grasp more comfortable.

Sudirman street leisure walk

noreply@blogger.com (Lucius Dinto Pramudyo) — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 11:01:00 +0000

Took these on last long weekend in Sudirman street, the center business district in Jakarta. I'm wondering why the contrast are so awful..Some facts: 1. Expired TMAX (it's written the expired date is 2006), 2. Inappropriate developing time /process, 3. My canonet's lightmeter is broken (again!?)..Could you tell which one is the most right answer?!

This was my first shoot after 6 months abandoned my camera. I lost the feeling to use it. I experienced any difficulties to use focusing with rangefinder as well. On top of that, It's hard for me to explore a good photo. It's time to rejuvenate my skill. Oh my...

Oldschool shadow play...

The people were hiding from me, they run away..

Still run away..."How dare you showing your back to me"

Catastrophe??

A con planned a prison break....

One of the most crowded point in the working day..Bridging the BNI 46 and Setiabudi area..

The future artists of city mural..

I shot from my auntie's apartment to finish up my roll..Catchy lines..

The notorious BNI 46 building...

I am not ready for negative feedbacks on the comments part..so don't... :)

Public Space

noreply@blogger.com (Lucius Dinto Pramudyo) — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 05:18:00 +0000

A park surround the Monas perhaps is one of the "proper" public space in town. Abundance economic oriented infrastructures reserve a thrifty place to socialize. In contrast, the culture needs such a chummed person to live in society. It is somehow a private life -too ashamed - becomes a public commodity. Humm.. too far discussion leave behind. Lets cut the crap. In short, people can do many activities in this area such as sport, treatment, or just bring your newspaper and find a bench..
