RISKY BUSINESS
Wicak Baskoro finds that survival
for these Indonesian farmers
has steep consequences.
jpgmag.com/people/wicakbaskoro

These local farmers are planting crops on

the side of Mount Slamet, the second highest
peak on the island of Java, Indonesia, and
one of the most active volcanos in the region.
Volcanic eruptions are not the only threat in
the area: the steep sides of this mountain
also increase the potential for landslides.
Planting trees on the sides of this volcano
could prevent future landslides, but most
farmers are unaware of this and there are
no regulations in place to encourage them
to do so.
Here, the farmers are cultivating lettuce
because the long harvesting period of
trees would have a significant impact on
them financially. To me, this represents
the courage that Indonesian farmers have
when dealing with economic and ecological
problems. While the types of crops they grow
may affect their future, they must also figure
out how to survive today.

THE NOT-SO-SECRET LIFE OF DIKKE DENNIS

6 Introduce us to someone interesting at: jpgmag.com/themes/3

I didn’t know it at the time, but Dikke Dennis is quite a famous guy.
I used to see him almost every day when I would pass his tattoo
shop located in the Jordaan neighborhood of Amsterdam. The name
of the shop was 666, and it said “Dikke Dennis” on the window. I
finally found out that this was his name, which translates to Thick
Dennis. He would often sit out front with an array of characters,
some of whom were quite intimidating. Eventually, I found the cour-
age to ask if I could take some pictures inside his tattoo shop.
This is a digitally stitched panorama taken towards the end of
the shoot when Dennis and Patricia started watching television
because they got bored of me. I found out during the shoot that not
only is a he a well-known tattoo artist, but he is also famous for
being in the band Peter Pan Speedrock, appearing on TV and in a
movie, and even having a book written about him.

FEEDING TIME
Iguanas are both hunted and protected in
Honduras. Allison Inloes explores the refuge
where thousands of iguanas feel at home.

This photo was taken at an iguana farm in Roatán, a

small island off the coast of Honduras. For the past 30
years, the farm has served as a refuge for iguanas, and
protected them from local hunters. Currently, about 2,700
iguanas consider this 15-acre property their home.
My younger cousin Julie was looking around the
farm and petting the iguanas when I took this picture.
They had just been fed, which is why there are so many
congregated in one area. It might seem a little scary that
she had so many iguanas around her, but they are very
mellow, so I think Julie found the situation humorous.

The interior décor of the restaurant and bar Bibliotheque

draws its inspiration from libraries. Located at the center
of Jakarta, Indonesia, Bibliotheque’s patrons are invited
to dine on Eastern European and Middle Eastern cuisine,
while they are surrounded by a collection of books that
stretch to the ceiling.
Every evening, the venue features an array of different
music. This is DJ Gallant, a regular performer who mixes
together classical music with anything from house, to
disco, or current hits.

 SIGHTINGS
JPG partnered with the Museum of Modern
Art New York to celebrate the exhibition, Henri
Cartier-Bresson: The Modern Century, the first
major US retrospective of the photographer’s
work in three decades. The winner of our Photo
Challenge: Inspired by Henri Cartier-Bresson,
Nathan Weyland, traveled to New York to see the
exhibit and document the city’s culture. Find out
about his adventure on the following pages, and
see the runners-up on page 88!

The first thing that I saw at the Museum of Modern Art New York
retrospective of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s photography, was a
series of wall-sized maps with crisscrossing arched lines that
represent his near-constant travels during his career. He began
traveling at age 22, and didn’t stop for over 40 years, so the
list of countries that he explored extensively is quite impres-
sive. Through the pages of Life and similar magazines, Bresson
brought Americans their first intimate glimpses of distant coun-
tries. With this in mind, I decided to focus on what Bresson did
for much of his career during my visit to New York: street life.
In modern New York, one can emulate Bresson’s globe-
trotting agenda without leaving the five boroughs. Inspired by
this idea, I visited Puerto Rican East Harlem, Wall Street, Indian
Jackson Heights in Queens, Chinatown in Manhattan, the trendy
Williamsburg in Brooklyn, and the wild Jamaica Bay. My goal
was to document the culture of New York by capturing moments
that constitute daily life throughout these neighborhoods as an
homage to Henri Cartier-Bresson’s life work.
The exhibition, Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Modern Century, is
a reminder of how much the world has changed, and simultane-
ously how nothing has truly changed at all. Today, people are
bombarded by images from around the world, so I pondered how
Bresson’s work continues to endure. The answer is found in the
pictures themselves, which largely depict relationships, daily life,
and significant social events. As the curator of the exhibition,
Peter Galassi, notes: Bresson’s true subjects were society and
culture—cornerstones of our civilization. By focusing on these
same subjects, I hoped to capture moments in New York society
that reflect our culture today, and have the same timeless qual-
ity found in Bresson’s photographs.
