This was a photograph I took on Christmas Day in a small town in Bali. During this day, the Balinese people take part in a tradition called Ngejot, during which neighbours share food with one another as a way to celebrate life and share joy. On this day, an old man walks, bear foot, down a quiet street, away from all the festivities and past the scattered offerings. His bamboo cane is clicking the warm ground with every steading step as the sounds of laughter, bells and song slowly fade away...
