Great stuff. Looks like quite an interesting place. Colorful (in a B&W sort of way). Love that fourth shot with the reflection and the next-to-last frame with the old fellow squatting.

Thanks kzim.

Yeah, it is an interesting small little town if you know where to look.
As with everywhere else, scenes like this are slowly fading away.......

love #3, the geometric one, in the first group

An interesting grouping of shots...it would be really interesting to see the proof sheet for the "roll", as I think there must be several additional interesting shots. I like the next to last shot of the old guy...his face tells a story of hard life. Also it reflects a interaction of the moment that is tangible. Thanks for sharing.

Great series of pics! Thanks for sharing 🙂

Doesn't look much like the "Tasmania, OZ" I remember, though 😉

Indonesia perhaps?

 

[kshapero]

Curious? What film did you use?

 

[fixbones]

jon: Indonesia? Close...... Miri is in Malaysia 🙂

Kshapero: All the pictures are from the same roll. Used Tri-X in D76 1:1

 

[jonmanjiro]

Found Miri on Wiki! Malaysia was my next guess 🙂
A population of 300,000 people makes Miri quite a large town (from an Australian perspective at least).

A few more before I call it a night

The power of Wiki ha ha

Jon: You are absolutely right considering Tasmania's population is only 500,000 ++.
Miri is only seeing some rapid development over the past few years so it still has that small old town feel for the most part though for how long more, i'm not sure.

I like them, you should have some sort of photo-diary-blog-thingy - I'd subscribe to it.

I thought it was Tri-X by the look. Some great shots.

I had the good fortune to pass through Miri a few years ago when I was traveling in Sarawak and Sabah, it's a nice town. Hawaii Beach was especially beautiful.

Martin s: I do have a blog. Check out my signature 😉

ethics: Can't believe you've been to miri. It is not exactly a very touristy town. Were you on your way to the caves (niah/mulu)?
