Re: Java wanderings.
$80 a month for the room (never anyone here. Good wifi). $50 a month for the bike. $3 a day for food . Naughtiness brings it to about $US 500 a month total.Abc123 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2018 6:20 pmhttps://i.imgur.com/UKvCa5Yl.jpgKung-fu Hillbilly wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2018 5:54 pmI'm using a 50 dollar smart phone, the cheapest phone with a camera I could buy as I've never tried taking photos before....no luxuries. Also, if I am going to gain from a person with a disfigurement or thaey have what I think might be something interesting, I will pay them if they want. Thanks for the advice.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2018 3:55 pmI shoot portraits 75% of the time, u just need smile, point ur camera and......... You cant be shy about it, for me, its second nature now...Bitte_Kein_Lexus wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2018 10:49 am Nice pictures. How do you get so many portraits? I can never bring myself to snap people. Do you just smile and ask them? Show them other pictures and say you're a photographer or something?
than after, show them the shot (love digital) an than u find everyone around wants there photos done..
I have never paid ( and suggest nobody pay as it sets it a standard for others to ask for $$), unless i know the photo will be used commercially and than need a signed release as well.
PS; I like some of ur shots, u have a good feeling and sense, BUT, (and please take this as advice and not attacking you) work on ur composition and be aware of ur F stop, for death of field more.
If u care to see where i am coming from, http://phuket.zenfolio.com/portfolio
Great stuff. $50 phone is working well. I like your composition. Kinda Japanese/ post impressionist.
Java makes me think of batiks ( megamemnon is a great design), gamalan (far superior IMO to that of Bali) and I guess coffee?
Are you getting through much cash there? Care to quote some prices?
Cheers.

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Re: Java wanderings.
Vicky and Nono are happy for to offer those rates for long term residents. You're welcome to email them. I'm on a two month tourist visa. You can get a six month visa if you have a sponsor. Your friends may want ask about sosbud visas as you can repeat this six month visa process endlessly with a day trip to Singapore. I know people who have lived here for 10 years or more on 6 month visas.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2018 8:10 am how do u get the room for $80/month?
