Family Errands

I am sure cramming three or more people on a motorcycle looks surprising, but, surprisingly, my surprise began to subside after just a few days. I think the MOST I saw on a motorcycle was 6 people... a mom and dad and 4 kids squnched in between. I never got a great shot of that...

...as I was walking around Jogjakarta, I did find this young mom and her two kids off on their daily errands.

This looks a bit scary, although not as much as the scene I once saw in Malaysia: a young mum steering her scooter one-handedly while holding her infant with the other hand.... I was too stunned to shoot it...

Nice one, Trey! The most I have been fortunate enough to see here in Jakarta on one motorcycle was five: Mom, Dad, and three young'uns squeezed in between them.

Great picture...as always...but it's painful to look at. Ok, I understand motorcycles are cheap and people need a way to drive around, but for God's sake, at the very least put helmets on those kids.

Great photo as always! I think they're giving you the evil eye. Mostly the kid in front is not giving a warm "hi there" look. It may have to do with his perch on the bike being less comfortable than he wishes or maybe he prefers Cannon?

If you don't mind, which lens did you use for this photo? Its very sharp...
