These pictures were taken at Pelabuhan Sunda Kelapa (Sunda Kelapa Harbor) during the rush hour at Saturday (13/10). This Harbour is one of the landmark of Jakarta, The harbor exist during the feudal age in Nusantara (name before Indonesia). This harbour also become the milestone of the emerging Jakarta City. During the feudal era, this harbor is under Padjajaran Empire then fall to Jayakarta during the emerging moslem Kingdom under the King called Raden Fatah or Jakarta Prince. When the Netherlands (dutch) colonized Nusantara it fall under the dutch, the name of the city is being change to Batavia, after the independence war and won on 1945, this harbor still become the main trade point, today Its called Pelabuhan Sunda Kelapa, using the name that are given by Raden Fatah. But through the ages there are 3 things still remain, they are, low wage workers, dangerous working condition, and corrupt harbor officers.
One of the loading workers at this harbor told me their income approximately 100 USD/month, without insurance and other benefits, they only given 1 meal every day. Most of them are coming from surrounding are of Jakarta, some of the is the working as ship crew, and their same the same income.
Indonesia, do not regulate such workers, they are not being seen as formal workers, so they do not fall under Indonesian labor law, while there no regulation that regulate them. even for the ship crew there are no such thing. Most of these semi modern ship (pinisi ship) are owned by big bourgeois class in Jakarta.
Magnificent view over the Pays de Herve from the American Military Cemetary in Henry-Chapelle.
The Pays de Herve … this land is enclosed by the rivers Vesdre and Meuse, at the heart of the Euregio Meuse-Rhine and the Aachen-Liège-Maastricht triangle. As well as being a privileged geographic location, it is 450 km2 of hedged farmlands, hedgerows and standard (high stem) tree orchards making an exceptional rural landscape. The Pays de Herve also has an exceptional heritage, steeped in history and tradition.
My favourite colour negative film so far. The colours are natural and I hardly see any grain in these photos(I don't really like grains). It is also very versatile.
This development was an experiment, as there's no guidance on the web, so it was 5 minutes in Ilfosol 3. Some shots were also taken at ISO 200 rather than 400 since I have my doubts about the advertised ISO. The film got scratched on first few shots whilst unloading it, and it is also springy as Hell, making it difficult to handle and scan. But I'm generally pleased with the results.
