Kompilasi

I volunteered myself as an event photographer for Kompilasi: A survey of contemporary Indonesian Art three days ago.


I went there with my friend who's in charge of a popular Indonesian magazine in Melbourne.


Having been to several art exhibitions before in my limited lifespan, this one addressed some common social issues in Indonesia. For example, mass housing


You could see how interested Australians are regarding any form of art.

Last night, I dropped by the Suzuki Night Market. Sadly, its the last night market event for the year.

A group of Cuban musicians were performing



Camel rides are the way to go


Sometimes, I wished life was as simple as a shuffle of tarot cards...

or Photoshop



Judging from the cook, what's in the pot doesn't look that delicious nor nutritious

There was a cuban dance class at 8, but I left early since it was getting cold & I didn't have any mood to continue any longer.

Perhaps i just need a break.
