Giant gemstone lovers. Indonesian Craze! Portraits of Indonesia.

Perfect mix. The merger between marvelous beautiful stones (mostly Agate Chalcedony) and the people (mostly men) who are wearing them. Happy, smiling, friendly and gentle Indonesians.

I was supposed to photograph the event. Kind of local jewel exposition and contest. Bekasi. East Jakarta. And as usual… I focused my camera on the faces. Indonesian smiling faces. And when I captured both: the Stone and the Face... the result was simply breath cutting. We may actually see this pride in their eyes! The jewel is finalizing their nature. Joyful and happy detail displaying and highlighting their mind, fantasy and imagination.

Perfect merger! Perfect popular culture! Local Folklore. Jewels are available to all. All prices levels. Colors. Forms. Sizes. Categories. The people buying and selling gemstones. Eating. Drinking. Chatting. Singing. Dancing together. Friends. Neighbors. All families visiting this place on Sunday afternoon. Just simply and wonderfully beautiful Indonesia.

Indonesia Dangerously Amazing.

Ultimate tribute to the Betawi Lords of the Rings – Indonesians Gemstone Masters!

Things have appearances. People have ...faces.
