parking man and a dog. ( parking man=he who collects money from people who park their car/motorbike in certain parameter

[tds]

people like this old man are poor, and live out of very little food. a question like "where is the fridge?" shouldn't be asked. if you happen to meet one of these people once in ur life, you might wanna hand them some foods, or a couple of dollars which would last a week or so.

[tds]

all pictures, cept the drawings of me and the piano, were taken in Timor island (we border with East Timor ), NTT, Indonesia.

the last picture was taken when a group of us went to mutis mountains, where we saw literally a forest of world class bonzais ( comparable to those in hirohito palace ). u wanna go see them?

The westernmost inhabited island in the Hawaiian chain.  I'm in the north South Pacific.  Thanks for the offer of hospitality.   

p.s. Heleen's color sense is really lovely and sensuous.  I love that painting.

no problema.

yes something warm and soft in the color scheme and the general texture. oh and i also remember when once she taught me how to draw: i recall that day she emphasized on the form. "form, form!" she insisted. and when i look at how the round plate sits on square table n apparent lines of cloth; see the soft, almost adorable fruits nearly dancing on the plate; or how determined the cloth cover some of the table, i suddenly get it. tds
