TRAIN TRAVELING - Feb 2014

Hola guys, nice to meet you again in this blog, hopefully you like my posts so far.

Yes a little bit of talk but mostly photos, you should use more imagination to the photos to get the stories...hahahaha..

This time I post something quiet different, its not as usual trip to my favorite OCEAN life, but this time very ground activities (don't worry still on ground not under ground...hahaha).. I have traveling with Train from Jakarta to Semarang.

And guess what? All for free.... from ticket, hotels, food even t-shirt and hat..and even more, for myself, I bring a lot of money back home...hahahaha..no kidding.

Well, I am so blessed that there were close competition of photography to shot train rail switch over at Semarang. It was held by Transportation Ministry in Indonesia. So the photographer was selected from Jakarta, about 50 photographer from random backgrounds, mostly work as photographer or loved photography. So I got information from the judge which is professional photographer in his twitter timeline, and I sign in my self to his email. So amazing that later I got called to join.

And guess what.....?

I WIN...!!!!

So I came home with trophy and some money...Thanks GOD...!!!

I do read books and learn photography by myself, or perhaps beginner luck, but whatever is, I believe this is a gift from GOD to win the contest (it was gift from the beginning anyway, to be selected).
And yes, it also confirm my doubt if I really can and got to be seriously in photography... BUT... Well, lets be normal guy, enjoy my travel and let my photography says......
