Defending the Temple: Roger Garwood

There’s been a temple ceremony in Padang Bai, a small ferry port in Bali, for the past couple of weeks. It is held once very twenty or thirty years to clear any bad spirits away. Today is the final day so we’re probably safe now. These kids, dressed as guards, spotted me with a camera and asked for pictures to be taken. As they were heavily armed I couldn’t refuse.

  1. Hi Rog,
    Great portraits. Was the moustachio male or female?
    Hope that Padang Bai is being kind to you.
    I bump along life’s track, still holding on.
    Fondest wishes
