On The Streets Of Jakarta

These are picturesI captured (22 in total) from the Fotografer.net street shooting session in Jakarta on Jakarta, June 2008. This was the time I first got hooked on street photography. I mean, there is a universe of fascinating compositions and moments out there. Photographer just has figure out how to capture them, and for me, I need to decide also which are the most important ones to tell. As for Jakarta, the obiquitous theme I think is the issue of poverty. This theme is rarely invisible in photo series of Jakarta streets.
