Been years I've been wanting to shoot around Jakarta (Indonesia) and its satellite cities. Started around 5 years ago with a self-project called shoot Jakarta, and its basically a street photography around Jakarta from my personal cameras. But its been hiatus for 3 years due to my job.

 

2 weeks ago I finally got my hands on Leica M8, and restarted the self-project again. Hopefully, I can take some photos every weekend. Hope you guys like it.

Good pics. Keep it up with the M8...pics are better than the monochrome, they are too contrasty with those cameras, and you get the best from the centre of the lens with M8..

 

all best...

Hi David,

 

Thanks for your words.

Taken at a little play park in Jakarta. It was some of my first shot with my M8 on the first day I bought it.

Jakarta Old Town (Kota Tua), also known as Old Batavia (Oud Batavia in Dutch), is a small area in Jakarta, Indonesia. Located between North Jakarta and West Jakarta.

It was admitted as "The Jewel of Asia" and "Queen of the East" in the 16th century by most European sailors, and once considered as a center of commerce for the whole continent due to its strategic location and fertile resources.

Now, many remaining historical buildings and architecture are kept as it was such as: Jakarta History Museum (Formerly city hall of Batavia, the office and residence of VOC governor general), Maritime Museum of Indonesia, and Sunda Kelapa harbour.

The old Batavia turned decaying as the square is surrounded by business district and slumps, and heavily polluted air & river made it worse. However, there is a hope in restoring the area, especially with various non-profit organizations, private institutions, and even the government recently stepping up recover Old Jakarta's legacy. Since late 2007, the government closed several streets surround Fatahillah square.
