Sulfur out-gassing Indonesia


Silversmiths hard at work with no safety protection or air-conditioning making items they could never afford to purchase for people who just stand over them and take their picture while they work (me).


They melt the silver with a coffee can filled with kerosene and blown into a straw to form a flame.  This flame is blown onto a brick of asbestos.  Can't count all the hazards involved in this process.  Wouldn't want to work here for no money.  



Tanah Lot Indonesia.  This camera angle was all I could find that didn't include half a million tourist in the shot.


Worked out of a 10ft shipping container on a land rig in New Zealand.


This truck driver made it up the hill but the truck kept going up.  Couldn't get it down until they poped the cables holding the logs.  Then it all came crashing down.  Reloaded the wood then took off.  This was our entertainment while we ate at a roadside "cantina" (dirt-floor, cat infested, open air) restaurant.


Monas Monument Jakarta Indonesia


Borobudur temple Indonesia



Pickadilly Circus London England.  Yes it was a circus.


Big Bend London England.  Sounded just like the start of the song Hells Bells by AC/DC.


Aberdeen Scotland


Me working 1994, HOT! in the sun and heat of Jakarta Indonesia when the Ring Road was just being built next to Cilandak Commercial Estates.  Pile driver noise ever second, red clay dust everywhere.  Good Times.


Ron and the Stupa at Borobudur temple Indonesia

Uluwatu beach Bali Indonesia


She wanted to braid my hair or sell me a t-shirt, I don't know what she said and didn't care.  Couldn't shake the "sell you some crap" ladies in Bali.  "you want t-shirt mister?"


Glad to be leaving alive.  Uluwatu Bali Indonesia.
