Poncol
is a market area in Central Jakarta
with small streets crowded with traditional
workshops where everything is done
by hand. They produce all kinds of
printed promotional material such
as banners and name cards. The busy
workshop where Yuli works attracted
my attention. The owner Hariyanto
was hand printing certificates and
Yuli brought the wet inked papers
outside to be dried. The two others
were printing a lot of name cards.
I stayed for a while and watched them
working. When I saw the shadow of
Yuli's hand on the yellow screen,
I thought that's the moment.
I
switched professions from a nine to
five employee to photographer in March
2002. I learnt photography from a
two-week course. Since then a lot
of good and caring friends have always
shared their knowledge with me. I
was the one from three participants
from Indonesia to join the World Press
Photo South East Asia workshop held
at the I See Imaging Center in Jakarta.
