My neighbors Silvie and Dwi take a break from poking local trees for their Javanese cherries, or keres.

One afternoon while giving typing lessons, one of my kids implied how hot it was getting, so we moved into the shade of my room… which quickly devolved into playing dress up with all of my belongings and having a photo shoot..

After running around with the kids in the late afternoon, poking fruit trees with sticks, and watching a dance practice, the sounds of the adzan reverberated throughout the village. Time to go home…

Colorful Inquisition. It’s the curious and yet enthralling looks like this, absolutely uninhibited, that make my times as a volunteer Indonesia absolutely rewarding and occasionally frustrating (because sometimes 200+ people at one time will stare at me like this, that’s no fun). Mostly rewarding, though. Especially when I have my camera.

I didn’t bother to take the time to focus this shot. These boys were mere bystanders during a village parade turned camera hogs. Maybe it’s not fair that I’m comparing the boys to hogs? Regardless, there’s something very whimsical and charming about this off-balanced candid that I appreciate.

After visiting and judging an independence day parade of children and their decorated bikes, I rested with some little ones in the area.

some celebrate their 24th year with expensive drinks and dinners, i celebrate mine by going to rural sugarcane fields equipped with roman candles and good friends.

This is my host niece, Khanza. She’s 4 months old. She’s very chubby and her legs have more fat wrinkles than I can keep up with. She’s most awake during the early evening, where my host family gathers around her and makes weird cooey/clicky sounds to keep her from crying. I wonder if she even likes it. I can’t get myself to coo, just can’t. I don’t think I’ll understand baby talk until I become a mother myself.
