Leaving the weight behind..

Its really a nuisance to carry a DSLR all the time around your neck especially when you have decided to walk the streets. The weight and camera became a burden and you cant enjoy as much as you want.
So basically on days like this, i rather go light, as light as i can and it was so much possible now with my Rangefinder.

This set of pics are taken with my color skopar and Kodak color plus film. Frankly speaking, this is my far most preferred negative that i had used with zero complain.

Kawah Ijen, the only few shots i took with the lens! Weather was too harsh for me to use this precious camera.

This was using Fuji Press 800, don't really like this film, but the lens that i used, voigtlander 50mm f1.5 was indeed a good lens, provided you focus well.
This boy was playing with small fire crackers...

The people sell crackers on their vehicles..there isnt a "Mama Shop"

An uncommon sight in Singapore but quite common in Surabaya...the horse carriage. The riders here surprisingly don poach tourist. If you want, you will approach them is the kind of mentality for these carriage owners.

I took this pic along the streets to Surabaya market. the building behind has alot of paintings, displaying a series of history and stories.

This is an "In" thing for the people there. Wonder where they get the money to buy the paint.

Covering street's photography in overseas is much more easier than in Singapore, provided you understand their cultures...Moving around and shooting at strangers will be a form of pleasure, especially when they are showing their natural behaviors.
