Caption: Apa kabar? (How are you?)
November 2019 I flied to Jambi, Sumatera island, 1109 km away from home,
I shot “Rafting R4 National Championship”.
I covered the pictures for the Mastermen team of DIY (Yogyakarta) Province.
I volunteered to do it while I accompanied my hubby who was one of the athletes.
Mastermen is a class of rafting for 40 years old above.
I accompanied this team as photographer and social media organizer since 2017 when this team represented Indonesia in World Rafting Championship in Japan.

while hearing they were screaming to pump up
their adrenaline.
Sometimes I just startled and frightened
to see them fighting on the river,
forget my camera.
