I've been introduced to the lovely work of a local Balinese photographer by the name of Rio Helmi. He has been able to capture the local cultural ceremonies and festivals of Bali as no one but someone who can spend extended periods of time near his or her subjects of interest. As I'm posting from a internet cafe, I chose not to save one of his many excellent images on this computer to illustarte this post. However his website gallery is replete with many of his images.
