Bali Dog Gone Fishing
While on assignment on Nusa Lembongan, a small island off the coast of South Bali, we spotted this beautiful Bali dog foragging for food in the ocean. We’ve rescued and adopted many dogs over the years. Yet, I’ve never seen a dog actually “fishing” before. And, the traditional jukung (outrigger boat) presented a picturesque backdrop while giving the photo context.

Thinking of Lombok – August 2018 Earthquakes
As I read the news, it’s unfathomable for me to comprehend what the people and visitors of Lombok are going through right now. I’ve read reports of villagers and tourists escaping collapsing buildings only to frantically run in darkness for higher ground in fear of a tsunami. It’s terrifying for me just to read these stories.
If you haven’t heard about what’s going on in Lombok and neighboring Bali, here’s a quick read from The Economist 9 August 2018 to get you caught up.
ON AUGUST 6th the Indonesian island of Lombok was shaken for the second time in ten days. A 6.9-magnitude earthquake struck the tourist haven, razing buildings, shattering roads and cutting off electricity. A government-issued tsunami warning added to the panic, sending people running for higher ground, though the ensuing wave proved small. Thousands of people have been evacuated. Crowds gathered on the beaches of the Gili Islands, off Lombok’s north-west coast, to be shipped to safety. The quake killed 347 people and injured over 1,000. A smaller tremor which hit days before claimed 17 lives. Another struck on August 9th.
~From The Economist 9 August 2018.
As for Bali, sadly we had a couple of fatalities and structural damage from 6 August. We’ve felt the aftershocks–especially the one yesterday on 9 August. And now, life goes on. But, my thoughts and prayers are with everyone negatively affected by the August 6 quake and dozens of aftershocks. My heart goes out especially to the people of Lombok who lost loved ones. And, for those who don’t have a home anymore–who have lost everything.

Surf’s up in Sanur Bali
surf’s up in sanur bali
Today, the waves were big enough to cancel all ferry boats going from Sanur, Bali to Nusa Lembongan (island off the coast of Bali). So, what does a street photographer at the beach do? Click some street photographs of course ;-).
Can photos at the beach be really considered street photography? Read more here–What is Street Photography?
Photo above made in Sanur, Bali on 19 July 2018 when all ferries were canceled due to high surf.
