The name is Mohammad Akbar Nurpatria. Was born in small village in the line of South cost Java island in Indonesia, on January 26th, 1974. I’m a truly proud born Indonesian. Not sure if my country proud of me, but I have national anthem as my cellphone’s ring-tone. How about that? I hand salute every time it rings. It’s mentally awkward when it rings in the crowds or in a bus… Who in the right mind would do suchathingy? LOL

I have three older brothers and one younger sister. Now that we are all grown (age-wise, mind-wise, and physically-wise grown) married with kids. As with me, my wife, Rina Astuti Handayani.  We have two daughters, and a son. Yep, jackpot! The oldest one was born in Seattle, WA, USA. She’s Alyanisa Azahra Nurpatria, born July 5th, 2000. The sister is Azakya Fadia Nurpatria, born in Jakarta, Indonesia, September 7th, 2006. And lastly, a boy named similar to mine, Mohammad Khalif Nurpatria, born in Jakarta, Indonesia, July 15th, 2008. His nickname is Amad. Yeah, the Triple-A’s.

I make a living snapping my cameras. It’s been my long loots-spender-hobby since teenage. I make still photo documentary wedding. It’s a backbone-tiring-job, but I love my work as it completes people’s happiness. I love the sacred, the tradition, the variety of weddings since every each one of them differ than another, and I love to capture them. I, too, photograph companies to make their profile picture. And what I love the most is making picture portraiture of people. Quite a challenge, really, to bring up characters, and depict it in a picture. Here’s my personal website http://www.nurpatria.com

Well, I’ll be writing for a little bit every now and then. It’ll be just about anything. Hope you’d like my writings.
