Tahun 2012 ini Satuan Linmas (Perlindungan Masyarakat) Kab. Sumedang merayakan hari jadinya yang ke-50. Sebagai bagian dari ujung tombak aparatur negara, peran Linmas begitu penting sebagai 'unit reaksi cepat' dalam menanggapi berbagai kondisi di masyarakat. Semoga pemerintah dapat terus meningkatkan kesejahteraan mereka. Dirgahayu Satlinmas Sumedang!

Pedagang Kerupuk Bangreng

Sejatinya kerupuk bangreng dijajakan pada saat ada pertunjukan Bangreng di kampung-kampung. Namun, agar bisa bertahan, pemasarannya pun tidak tergantung pada saat ada Bangreng saja, ketika pertunjukan sudah semakin jarang atau bahkan tidak ada sama sekali, pedagang ini tetap harus berjualan untuk terus menopang kehidupannya.

A female dancer poses as a Sinta

Sinta is Rama's beloved wife in the Ramayana epic. The photo session was held in the lush green paddy fields, which is appropriate to Sinta's character as goddess of the earth. This is a photo by Iwan Kristiana and also participated on Weekend Portrait.

Pak Suhendar

Pak Suhendar merupakan anggota kepolisian Polres Sumedang dari Sat Patwal (Satuan Patroli dan Pengawalan). Silahkan baca artikel menarik tentang Sat Patwal, disini.

A friendly policeman named Suhendar posed for me with Yamaha Police Diversion XJ900P, CMIIW, during my street hunting. Furthermore, he ordered me to print his picture. Hmmm, I'm just thinking about to monetize my hobby... Anyway, It's my participation on Weekend Portrait.

Pak Mardi, seorang veteran perang kemerdekaan Indonesia

Pak Mardi adalah salah satu dari sekian banyak veteran sepertinya yang terabaikan pemerintah negeri ini. Semoga, amal kebaikan beliau dan "pak Mardi-pak Mardi" yang lain atas negeri ini mendapat balasan yang selayaknya. Much respect!

Long time ago he was a courageous soldier, now, he's just a farm-worker and ignored.
It's for Weekend Portrait.
