The Tools of the Trade

This t-shirt took the words out of my mouth! The people, the culture, the food, and the climate!


National Martyr’s Day in Bangladesh gives opportunity to dress up, gather with the crowd, and of course, ice cream cones for the children, or adults!

This photo was taken in front of a wall that has Bengali language words. It is a language that I learned, (Not fluent though). I was wearing my favorite Punjabi! It is also International Mother Language Day! I am not sure whether the English or Pennsylvania Dutch language are my Mother tongue!?!


A special day in which people either dress in yellow or red! A festive occasion, for sure. Red would be the typical color for Valentine’s Day, and Yellow, for the First Day of Spring. These holidays fall on the same day in Bangladesh. Those days are a street photographer’s paradise!

While this lady was posing for someone else, I decided to take a photo!


The gentleman above was making me a plate of this delicious snack. At the bottom is the serving he gave me! Tasty, for sure!
