Paradise Lost


These photos were taken on my first trip to Bali in ’78. The place was magical in every sense from sights, smells and tastes. It was still undeveloped and for the most part undiscovered. The last time I went in the 90s it had changed so much from that 1st trip it was ridiculous. Here’s how it looked back then
