Description This is an old photo collection i had
Location : Bendungan Hilir, Jakarta

when i kinda "cleaning up" my computer harddrive i found this pic. and i look it once again
it shed a tears.........

Look at this kids...........playing around happy, no boundary, no fear, just play the way they wanted to.
they don't know about the danger of train that may hit them.............they just playing happy through their childhood years

then i look into myself.........and feel "how greatful i am to be here alive, with all of this i had and through my childhood years also with happiness ...............but in a different way"

People sometimes don't remember how they live right now............Just happy with all that glamourous thing............or just "feel" happy

This kids remind me that "happiness comes from inside and comes up the way we wanted to............We do not feel happy because somebody told us to or feel happy because somebody force us to be happy"

Happy is a feelin you should feel deep inside............not feel only in the outside

Like this kids............they live not so glamourous........they live beside the railroad tracks........but they feel happy

enjoy

congrtulation for this powerful shot!
it's more my range of photography (i like both, fashion and photojournalism, but i prefer photojournalism)
the traditionnal look of this add something great

i love ur comment too, it's great to see that u realise how lucky u are in comparaison of all this pauverty (espcialy around Jakarta).
Again, great shot!!

(i duno if u see the work of James Natchtway... well i did a photo-documentary about pauvrety in Jakarta, it's really amazing if u got the chance to see it )

And sorry for the bad english, i kind of tired today and i reakky search my word

thank you very much Maxim
dont be too tired my friend......
actually i have see the movie "war photographer" by James Nacthwey, and this movie kinda inspired me to this journalism photo.

and the location that i shoot this picture is around Nacthwey place he shoot
we try to find that location he shot......

he is a brilliant photographer, one of my idol
see you again Maxim
