I Enjoyed The Trip Very Much

Dear Nanang,
I am writing to thank you for the organization of the trip to the Apokayan with Rustam. I enjoyed the trip very much and managed to get quite a number of good photographs. I will email some to you in the next day or so when I have had a chance to go through them.

As you may have gathered, I have quite a lot of experience traveling in Indonesia and in particular am interested in photographing indigenous cultures. It seems to me that by far the best opportunity of doing so is at various festivals. Could you please let me know whether there are any Dayak festivals (or any other cultural events) coming up and I will try to get there to photograph them (work here permitting). It does not matter whether the festivals are big or small.

I had a particular interest in going to the Erau festival this year but it was cancelled. Events such as small festivals (and even weddings and funerals which I appreciate must be photographed with great sensitivity if at all) are often fantastic photographic opportunities.

Needless to say, I very much enjoyed having a quick look at the Dayak culture and I’m sure there is much more to be seen in other areas of Kalimantan including the top of the Mahakan River…..
