I'd been told that they would be shy and, indeed, found that they refused when I asked to take their pictures. But at one point I sat talking with our translator, having given up on getting photos, when an old man in a pristine cowboy hat tapped me on the shoulder and indicated that I should photograph him, and before I was done with him there was a line of other men asking to be next. Some would bring a best friend, a father or mother, a wife, and they would stand without affectation or discomfort. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50d77e39e4b03955128ed10a/1358633029455-NVK1JRJ2WDE2STXZPURT/DSC_0245-Edit.jpg ...the People... - Ubud, Bali, Indonesia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50d77e39e4b03955128ed10a/1358633018237-IMO1WQ0YUQIPVSJELIBH/DSC_0119-Edit.jpg ...the People... - Ubud, Bali, Indonesia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50d77e39e4b03955128ed10a/1358633019291-1EDK08F4JUIAQLFP30B0/DSC_0124.jpg ...the People... - Ubud, Bali, Indonesia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50d77e39e4b03955128ed10a/1358633034767-ZDR1A5ZDJ2TKEFH5B9O3/DSC_0247.jpg ...the People... - Ubud, Bali, Indonesia Balinese life is full of many intricate rituals, as one might imagine with a culture based on Hindu and Animist beliefs. I had the opportunity to attend a fairly rare ceremony, the ritual cleansing of a local temple that occurs every twenty years or so, and did my best to follow along. In this photograph you can see the intense concentration as the child follows the lead of his father through the days long ceremony where every nuance is symbolic and meaningful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50d77e39e4b03955128ed10a/1358633040656-XP3URZH377NIC7UKK1OT/DSC_0280.jpg ...the People... - Ubud, Bali, Indonesia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50d77e39e4b03955128ed10a/1358633045710-WCN8U8FPDKBGLMJ9TI30/DSC_0321-Edit.jpg ...the People... - Ubud, Bali, Indonesia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50d77e39e4b03955128ed10a/1358633051335-97TZ78NQ5M7N3YOXYKSX/DSC_0411-Edit.jpg ...the People... - Ubud, Bali, Indonesia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50d77e39e4b03955128ed10a/1358739023241-9M4781NNU8V5Z06PKUMI/VH1_8540.jpg ...the People... - Port-au-Prince, Haiti https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50d77e39e4b03955128ed10a/1358739070478-PSYB936KPBP9VKADM4LQ/VH1_9323.jpg ...the People... - Port-au-Prince, Haiti https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50d77e39e4b03955128ed10a/1358739070109-N7Y1E5DYDNJBHZK90K9O/VH1_9363-Edit.jpg ...the People... - Port-au-Prince, Haiti https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50d77e39e4b03955128ed10a/1358738949238-UARPWMNHE8H5MVC51UNZ/VH1_3238-Edit.jpg ...the People... - Pacaya Volcano, Central Guatemala https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50d77e39e4b03955128ed10a/1358739088421-95497DHPQLSS91PJBKC5/VH1_9549.jpg ...the People... - Port-au-Prince, Haiti https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50d77e39e4b03955128ed10a/1358798922499-CQVWZDCCACJRQV1FYBNR/VH1_3980-Edit-2.jpg ...the People... - Central Guatemala https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50d77e39e4b03955128ed10a/1358795406202-BJMOH8Y0VVAPNBTE0EYH/VH1_6743.jpg ...the People... - Korminase, Ghana I never got to like the shouts of "Abruni!" (white man) everywhere I went in Ghana, even when I realized it wasn't meant with malice- I knew I stood out and didn't like having it broadcast everywhere I went. Keep my head down and blend in? Not a chance! The exception was moments like this when I would be mobbed by children who wanted to experience a foreigner and would breakout in jubilant laughter, shouts, dance and the most peculiar poses inspired, I assumed, by local music videos. Absolute and sincere excitement and joy! http://vishnuhoff.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-07-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50d77e39e4b03955128ed10a/1359315305756-JN3MZBKWMQX4HGL7S64S/VH1_9172.jpg About / Contact http://vishnuhoff.com/intro daily 1.0 2014-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50d77e39e4b03955128ed10a/1359314825445-2W7YAI0SBW30SXJSUHJ0/-6749.jpg Preface
