[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Mik, as people use to call him, is a phone voucher seller. He runs his business from home and sometimes he rides his three-wheeled-self-modified bike around his village. He was born with Polio virus, so his legs could not grow like others. He has to crawl, and this has stopped him from finishing elementary school. Mik lives with his mother in Acehnese traditional house. Because of his condition, he sometimes cannot afford going out of two-storey wooden house. Day to day activities keep him busy. Not only helping his mother and selling phone voucher, he is also busy making electrify fishing net. Still, he has to welcome all the customers coming mostly from Aceh Besar, Banda Aceh and Meulaboh.

Hello Frederick

Love the window lighting used here. Ambient light is the lighting of choice for me. Great work, and good story.

Regards
Jimmy
