First Trial: Foreword to "The Humble Faces"

The photo book will be printed soon and you guys definitely should go grab one! 

Greetings, Universe~

One of my friend, Victor Puguh Harsanto (please kindly drop by, victorpuguh.blogspot.com) asked me to write foreword to his forthcoming simple yet dazzling self-published photo book. I was like, "Seriously, I haven't written something serious these days." He has asked me since last month, but I haven't got the time to write anything. You know, as a pro procrastina-tard, I was postponing the deadlines not until last weekend. My fingers were kinda trembled, and I just didn't know what to type. crap. I urged myself to think harder and went beyond the "viewfinder". VOILA! There might be some diddly-doodly crumbs here and there, need revision and re-vision. Have a nice time-traveling!

Two analog cams Victor uses to take the humble faces.. :)

Foreword to “The Humble Faces”

What would’ve been a better time machine than a photo book? I would personally say that Victor Puguh Harsanto has successfully brought the ultimate experience of time traveling through his dazzling self-published photo book.

These analog photograph collections focus on Victor’s life journey in encountering with others. Based on the idea of having a photo book as a perpetual remembrance of the momentous events in life, Victor tried to share his experience of looking beyond the viewfinder.

Getting into the analog photography entails a bit of complete and wholehearted fidelity, yet the experience is worth it. Victor is fond of the surprises the analogue photography grants. Besides, he is also enthusiastic about the unique appeal that he can only obtain from capturing with film – the deeper and more heartfelt pictures. As he can establish the warmercolors, the dramatic saturation and the film grain adds more soul and character to his images. Analog photographs bring to the readers’ mind nostalgic and dreamy memories as he fetches his experience of becoming a teacher in Merauke, Papua in 2005, through the volcano climbing in Gunung Gede, West Java, in June 2014.

Victor believes that analog photography is a device of infinite values of life: honesty. It is revealed in a gleam that analog photography refurbished our upsurge of emotions, exalted and enhanced our perspective by conveying a ‘one of a kind’sight of mental imagery and captures. Its enigmatic depictions of originality and genuineness provoke the quality of being honest.

Subsequently, portraits portray the sweet and unexplainable charm of God’s grace. Regardless of medium, portrait photographs inherit the capacity of being a divine guidance, aspiration, encouragement, authenticity, and to a greater extent, being Victor’s subjects of his learning process. As a result, it’s fortifying ever-growing records of his life; a glimpse assemblage of reminiscent memories and virtues.

This photo book offers a sense of the experiences of seeing God’s portrayal through the portraits of common people (Victor’s family, friends, kids, students, farmers, labors, neighbors, fishermen), forming a bridge between their daily existence and our reality bond with others. Victor’s photographs challenge us to see the reality emerges through these humble faces. Senses; have we used our precious gift from God to sense our surroundings?

Afternoon Vibes: Yuna - Lullabies

I will def leave all my troubles here.

Lullabies 

Like lullabies you are,
Forever in my mind.
I see you in all,
The pieces in my life.
Though you weren't mine,
You were my first love.

I wanted to go away with you,
And I will leave all my troubles here.
I wanted to run away with you,
And I will bring all my dreams and fears.

Like lullabies you are,
Forever in my mind.
I see you in all,
The pieces in my life.
Though you weren't mine...
Like lullabies you are,
Forever in my mind.

You were my first love.

I wanted to start again with you,
And I will leave all my worries here.
I wanted only you.
I know that I felt with you.

Like lullabies you are,
Forever in my mind.
I see you in all,
The pieces in my life.
Though you weren't mine...
Like lullabies you are,
Forever in my mind.
I see you in all,
The pieces in my life.
Though you weren't mine,

Though you weren't mine,
You were my first love.
You were my first love.
You were my first love.
You were my first love.

Menggila dalam Sepersekian Detik.

jerit
ingin aku menjerit
diri bagai terhimpit
laiknya mata menyipit
gurau di ujung jalan 
bercerita kepadaku
gardu di perempatan
memanggil namaku
dunia gila
ya,
dunia gila
terjerembab raga
masuki lembah nista
seketika mengumpat
tertangkap bajing loncat
hilang kesadaran
telanjang
bulat
kaki terlipat
persimpangan jalan
rumah baruku

Afternoon Vibes: Jamiroquai - Blue Skies

*just another laid-back afternoon, spent the day watching the blue sky turned into darker ones~

So these are the figurines
Acting out all the scenes before my eyes
I thought I knew them all by name
But they started looking much the same
And it’s no surprise

But I don’t wanna listen
Too much
How can I give up on all the days I know I’ve won
There’s nothing but rainbows
I believe in the shadows

Now honey
Thought I might be dropping out
But now I am gonna work it out
I am gonna work with me
I am runnin’ like it never loose
Then I’m rolling like a rusty ship on a stormy sea

You know that people are saying
Strange things
Talk to the hand ’cause I know you think the face is gone
I don’t wanna listen
Too much
I’m not gonna give up on all the days I know I’ve won
There’s nothing but blue sky
There’s nothing but blue sky

Nothings gonna stop me now
I am skimming like a skipping stone on a silver lake
I take it when the chips are down
But to play the perfect happy clown
You gotta make a mistake (gotta make mistakes)

People are saying
Strange things
And I don’t wanna listen (I don’t wanna listen)
Too much yeah
Nothing but blue sky
Blue Sky

How can I tell you I know this wont be the last song
I don’t wanna listen (I don’t wanna listen)
Too much
Not gonna give up on the days I know I’ve won

That’s where I am going
’Cause there is nothing nothing but blue sky
That’s where I am going
Nothing but
Rainbows falling down on me... uh yeah hey

Nothing but blue sky
Can’t you see
That’s where I am going
Got to believe me
That’s where I am going
Blue skies
That’s where I am going
Blue skies
That’s where I am going

dan, lalu, kemudian, hilang.

tetapi kemudian aku hilang.

sejurus kemudian aku bimbang.

namun kemudian dia datang.

lalu kemudian membawaku pulang.

hingga kemudian barisan kata ini tertuju untukmu, KRL sayang.

dan kemudian lari lajulah ke tanah abang.

Traveling 101: Mount Gede in a Gleam

better late than never.

well, tbvh (to-be-very-honest), i'm not that type of person who adores books or movies like--no offense, sorry to say-- 5 cm. me myself thinks that it's way better to find, obtain, and feel the values of loving the mother nature by experience it. it would come to believe on the basis of emotion, intuition, or indefinite grounds. I undergo an emotional sensation to be in a particular state of mind. it's not just physical. it's tangible. your innermost self would emerge to the surface, a lil bit closer to nature. inhale deeply the fresh mountain air. feel the tactual sensation of sleeping under the stars and the moon shine (it's raining heavily, tho).

it starts from here.

unfortunately, we arrived at the base camp late at night, so we didn't take any pictures and just take some rest before the hike. I recalled it was 10.00 pm when we reached the base camp. after eating dinner, at about 11.30 pm we started the journey~

Afternoon Vibes: Arctic Monkeys - Do I Wanna Know?

Alex - for - God's - sake - Turner has totally turned me on.

Do I Wanna Know?

Have you got colour in your cheeks?

Do you ever get that fear that you can't shift
The type that sticks around like something in your teeth?
Are there some aces up your sleeve?
Have you no idea that you're in deep?
I dreamt about you nearly every night this week
How many secrets can you keep?
'Cause there's this tune I found that makes me think of you somehow and I play it on repeat
Until I fall asleep
Spilling drinks on my settee

(Do I wanna know)
If this feeling flows both ways?
(Sad to see you go)
Was sort of hoping that you'd stay
(Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day

Crawling back to you

Ever thought of calling when you've had a few?
'Cause I always do
Maybe I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I've thought it through

Crawling back to you

So have you got the guts?
Been wondering if your heart's still open and if so I wanna know what time it shuts
Simmer down and pucker up
I'm sorry to interrupt. It's just I'm constantly on the cusp of trying to kiss you
I don't know if you feel the same as I do
But we could be together if you wanted to

(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways?
(Sad to see you go)
Was sort of hoping that you'd stay
(Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day

Crawling back to you (crawling back to you)

Ever thought of calling when you've had a few? (you've had a few)
'Cause I always do ('cause I always do)
Maybe I'm too (maybe I'm too busy) busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I've thought it through

Crawling back to you

(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways?
(Sad to see you go)
Was sort of hoping that you'd stay
(Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day

(Do I wanna know?)
Too busy being yours to fall
(Sad to see you go)
Ever thought of calling darling?
(Do I wanna know?)
Do you want me crawling back to you?

I'm sorry to interrupt.
It's just I'm constantly on the cusp of trying to kiss you.
