About BANDUNG DAILY PHOTO

Inspired by other cities' photo dailies, this blog is trying to capture - in photos and stories - what's going on in Bandung on the daily basis.

There is no pretension that what I post here could represent a city as big and as complex as Bandung. However, I hope that as the collection of photos and stories grow with the daily updates, a more comprehensive picture of the city will begin to emerge and that you will learn about Bandung (and hopefully love it) not only as a place on the map, but also as a living community with its own unique characteristics and stories to share.

Whatever the story or the picture is, I hope my voice will make a difference.



With a large and growing numbers of photographs, insightful commentaries, and daily updates, Bandung Daily Photo is arguably the most comprehensive, dynamic, and authoritative source of day to today stories and photos of Bandung and its vicinities.

Becak



A becak on Jalan Kebon Jati, south of Bandung railway station.

Becak is officially banned from many parts of the city. But in this part of the city, it is still operating.

If you are into black and white or monochrome photography, you may want to check out similar posts from other participating photo bloggers at this weekly meme The Monochrome Weekly.

a fine monochrome image. i know that the becaks can cause hazards on the road, but don't they also add to the character of the city?

Why are the becak ousted from parts of the city?
Is it, because they're slower than cars?
The becak is one of the things that for me belong to the Indonesian cityscape.
