All cities exist between the pages of a guidebook. The popular landmarks to be caught, the cuisines to be tried and souvenirs to be bought. But that’s not all there is to a city. It exists beyond the gates of these obvious offerings. Out on the streets, in tiny alleys and local hideouts. I believe the true character of a place is revealed when you begin to explore it on foot. When you strike up a conversation with a complete stranger, befriend a group of musicians playing at the city square or simply roam the local bars. So on a recent trip to Indonesia, after chasing a fixed itinerary, I went about wandering the city streets after sun down. Here are the few images that I made on my night outs at Bali, Jakarta and Bandung.
