Luck brings prize<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): When lady luck smiles on you, you can even turn
\nmisfortune into millions of deutsche mark (DM). It happened to
\nToto Raharjo, a photographer from Yogyakarta, who won the first
\nprize of a photography contest held last year by the German
\nembassy with the theme "Germany-Indonesia: The meeting of two
\ncultures."<\/p>\n
"I got only a second to take this picture. I tried to take a
\nsecond shot, but I found that there was no more film left," Toto
\nexplained about the winning picture entitled Trying to understand
\neach other which he took at Yogyakarta's Kraton (royal palace).<\/p>\n
The picture depicts two men, an expatriate wearing a tie and
\ncarrying a tape recorder and a Javanese man wearing a surjan
\nJavanese costume, in conversation.<\/p>\n
"I took it with black and white film, but I developed it with
\ncolor photo processing," Toto told German Ambassador to Indonesia
\nHeinrich Seemann who presented the prizes yesterday.<\/p>\n
For the winning photo Toto received DM 2,000. The second and
\nthird prizes were respectively won by Hariyanto, a photographer
\nof the Jawa Pos daily, and Klaus Dauselt, a German who is
\ntemporarily based in Flores, East Nusa Tenggara. (als)<\/p>",
