About
Boys are playing chess in front off Mr. Aji, 57 years old, a street cloth repairer at Manggarai Public Park, Jakarta, Sunday, 12 November 2006, while a passing lady carrying snacks on her head is laughing upon hearing their jokes. Mr. Aji really loves his job, because there are many laughters and happiness surrounding him, despite of little amount of money he gets everyday.
Love it Hanggan! Hapiness does not come from money or class or even your job. It comes from being happy . . . having good friends . . . and truly enjoying the gifts we are given each day that so many overlook . . . being satisfied and trying to make the world better for others is much more valuable to you than seeking fame and fortune. Give Mr. Aji my best wishes from California . . . he sounds like a great man!
Great shot of these neighbourhood people, all doing their daily tasks, Hanggan! I like the expressions and happiness you've caught on their faces. Dave.
