Strolling At Dawn

My first impression of Indonesia on my first visit there in 1980 was a very refreshing one. This image was captured at a village near Mount Bromo. The early morning atmosphere was very strong. The lighting for the whole setting was just right.

This is a kind of picture that could be either classified as photo-journalism or as a photo-travel picture. The natural state of the place is well depicted in the image despite the picture being very monochromatic in nature. This image has won a number of Gold Medals of which one was a PSA Gold Medal for the Best Slide of the Show at the 6th Omni Candid International Salon, Belgium in 1983.
