A very fortunate situation has developed through work. My office has secured a job in Indonesia and will involve at least three visits to Jakarta. I completed the first trip.
I was amazed by the city and by the people. Many are Muslim and many are poor by US standards. So many people. I thought Chicago was huge, but Jakarta is about three times the size. The traffic is astonishing. Particularly the fluid, constant, energy way that they all move together.
My favorite part of the trip, however, was easily the people. I have never met a happier people in my entire life. They were all so wonderful.
Very fortunate to have the experience and look forward to my return. Tremendous Thursday to you.

Happy Labor Day. I hope that the people figure out that with the improvements in technology and manufacturing - we really should only be working for four days a week now instead of five. How great would it be to not work on Monday anymore?
This is also the start of two new albums. The first is just a album for record for a submission that I put together for 2016 Decisive Street Photography. I didn't place or anything like that, but it was a good exercise for me to go through and I need to be able to reference it.
The second is the start of a new peace project that I have begun working on. I'm exasperated with the undercurrent of fear and hatred that we are constantly being fed through various forms of media. I don't think that most people are about that or believe in that. I feel that most people in life are just trying to get by and at the core of their being want peace and love to be the foundation for the world in which they live. More on this later.
Magnificent Monday to you my friend.

I think that is what the translation on her shirt says. Beautiful couple. They asked me to take a selfie with them and then I asked to take a portrait of them.
Happy Monday to you.
Peace
