    We were curious to learn what initially drew Okka to the world of photography. He wrote: “I like adventuring into nature; coincidentally the nature in my village is quite good because it is near Mount Ciremai. Then I captured every moment of natural beauty in my area using a Canon DSLR camera, then I posted it on social media (Facebook and Instagram); two years later it went viral and many have become tourist destinations.”

    I live in America, no way children here would walk through fields to get to school. Kids here get dropped off and picked up, right at the door, after waiting in a mile long line. These young men are fortunate in that they get to experience nature and be one with Mother Earth as part of a daily routine

    All I think about are the poisonous snakes waiting to bite or leaches trying to find skin. Beautiful picture but that's where my mind goes.
