I spent 2 months in Borneo on summer 2010. I travelled with an old FED3 film camera. During my trip, I went to a diamond mine near Banjarmasin (South Kalimantan). There’ s a lot of mines in this area. Most of the people lives thanks to the mine.
Pit workers works all day long, even if most of time the temperature is close to 35°. They all hope to find “the big one”, but most of them don’t earn enough and have to borrow money to live. Close to the mine, «the diamond center» buys the stones in order to sell them abroad, after carving and polishing.
