A Visual Journal of the City of Bandung and Its Vicinities.
A photo a day with insightful and informative commentaries from the capital city of West Java and one of the most fascinating cities in Indonesia.®
You can tell a lot about a places attitude by it's clenliness of the streets. I have often noticed yours seem so well maintained for auch a busy area. Now I see why. It is so refreshing to see someone's image who has not been airbrushed or tweeked to perfection, but so human.
She's not the only one keeps the street clean. I believe there is someone somewhere who cares about his or her city is picking up the trash and throwing it into the basket
That is an excellent tribute to those who usually remain "invisible". Thanks to their work many of our surroundings are well-kept. Thanks for sharing this, Eki!!
I always like street scenes! Great shot! But did the lady give you a killer glare when you shot her photo?
I daren't approach the people on the street coz I have had some nasty experience, where astreet artist threw a brush at me and chased me away. But that happened elsewhere, not in my country.
However, since that incident, I have been very careful of snapping photos of people on the street. Usually I will seek their permissions if I am really intrigued with taking their photos. But of course, that means they won't be in their natural look, it would be more like they pose for my shots.
I think she's doing her job very well. The street looks pretty clean and spotless.
ReplyDeleteVery nice capture.
I dont think I would want that job, The street does look very clean she definately takes pride in her work.
ReplyDeleteI like the intent look on her face. She takes her job seriously. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteBandung's citizens, by their civic mind ? No, I'm wrong ? Isn't it that way in every country ? Just kidding.

The idea of her dressed in full uniform makes the job respectable. Salute to all the street sweepers who pride in cleaning the city.
ReplyDeleteI like this one! what does she carry in her right hand?
ReplyDeleteGreat street portrait EKI. we need these people so very much. they need more than we give them for the job they do.
