This is the one of my favorite song from our last night concert at Eglise Paroissiale de Grimisuat (VS).
Hallelujah (the french version of the one written by Leonard Cohen)

Almost Unforgotten Bali (Most beautiful moment in Indonesia)
Just came back from Bali last Thursday. I was a tiring trip, considering I took 30-hour flights to stay only for 5 days, but worth it. I had a chance to be upclose personal with a glimpse of Indonesia's almost forgotten life - Petani di sawah (translation : farmer on the rice field). The last decade, when people talk about Indonesia, first picture I had was Jakarta the Cosmopolitan.
I saw this farmer somewhere at Sidemen (eastern Bali), I was doing my small "walk" on the rice terrace and he was there, right in front of me, working on Sunday afternoon. This was typical image we had seen on Indonesian local TV station back at my Primary's years, but later on, everybody tend to forget how the rice on their plate had been produced - isn't that sad?
I had some people asked me how to make this type of picture. It's actually quite easy, first, I edit the picture with my Adobe Photoshop CS4 extended - I put the picture to almost black and white, gave a bit sepia tone on it, add the scratch and dust to give the old feeling. What make it different is actually I add an mask from my digital scrapbooking elements collection as a layer to my edited picture. It was the mask which gave the folded mark on the picture. And by the end, I just flatten the image all together. As simple as that.
Image information : I took the picture with my Canon EOS 5D mark II using Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6L USM IS
