This is after our first year of marriage. I had to return to USA after our marriage to prepare the paperwork for bringing Farida to USA with me. I then returned to North Sumatra and, after 2 months of visiting Jakarta, we got everything finished for my wife and boy to follow me to USA. This photo was taken in the area of Yogyakarta. Yes, our first child was born while I was in USA getting preliminary papers together in order to go to Jakarta with even more papers! We had to get offical (and yes, paid for) translations of all the paperwork that I had brought from USA.
Oh, and sorry about the fuzzy photos, these are photos of old photos I took with the One Time Processing Throw Away Cameras I used to buy when I first started my travels.
Gertrude Stein told Ernest Hemingway that he should buy art instead of spending money on clothing and such. He was not wealthy at the time and neither am I. Ernest Hemingway did manage to buy some art works and I also am taking Gertrude Stein's advice to heart. I just have to find good art with Instagram and Pinterest friends to buy art that I can afford. Here is one such art work that I bought from @lillys_press. This artwork is called "Two Birds".
