Indo Part 2 (now with slightly less irritating larger font)

Colin Adair - Friday, November 18, 2011

So here is part 2. Not sure how many parts there will be to the series from this trip. At least 5. Less than 10. I know I said I'd post more next week but I just got too excited and couldn't sleep and it's Friday which I know is just super productive in office land so figured you would want more stuff to look at.............plus those HK airport shots in Part 1 are pretty bland.

This is the Rice Fields series. These were shot over several days with the Contax and the Hasselblad. These rice fields are in Canguu which has become a very popular surf spot and hence it is being developed heavily.These particular fields are surrounded by development and I suspect won't be around much longer. The sketchy little road we took to surf everyday ran right through these fields and it was definitely a hub for localized transport and activity. The contrast of Bali is pretty evident in these shots. Old farmers and young kids (I still don't know what these kids were up to. Fishing/hunting for some kind of small fish/animal but I couldn't figure out what exactly). The two women, one on a bicycle with a traditional hat on the other on a scooter wearing a helmet. Lush green fields and new housing. A lot of activity, some of it hard to understand but you just sit and watch and wait................
