This young girl spends her morning carrying a big rice bag around to fill with paper and plastic for recycling. Though part of the many poor in Dhaka, she still knows how to smile.
I love this ad on the wall of a building near Coffee World in Lalmatia! It is likely because this is the kind of camera I used from 1964-66 when I was doing photography for my high school newspaper and yearbook!
Great style of camera! The good ole’ days!
It was a great moment for me when I heard that one of my photos was accepted for TTL’s BIF5(Bangladesh in Frames5) photo exhibition at Drik Gallery in Dhanmondi, Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Here is a previous post of the photo that was accepted: https://marlandphotos.com/2012/06/17/boli-khela-wrestling/
Here are some photos of the opening day of this event.

This young girl is a rag-picker. She goes out every morning to collect recyclable items such as paper and plastic to sell. The rag-pickers typically are carrying a big burlap bag which hopefully gets filled!
One of many of my young friends!
I wish a Happy Bengali New Year to All My Friends in Bangladesh!
I confess I was busy getting my income tax report ready to file to meet tomorrow’s deadline. I guess I do have an automatic 2 month extension, but I’d rather not take it. Anyway, we heard marchers outside on the street, so I headed out and grabbed a rickshaw to catch them on Sir Sayeed Rd. Then I decided since I was out to go to Manik Mia, so I asked the rickshaw wallah to take me there (http://www.thedailystar.net/beta2/news/nation-mingles-with-baishakh-colours/) . The lanes on both sides of the median were painted the whole way from Mirpur Rd. to the circle where Manik Mia splits. It was nice to take a break and see the festive air of the city. The photo of me was taken by the rickshaw wallah!
I hope this is a great year for Bangladesh in spite of the many hartals, demonstrations, etc. recently.

I shot this photo at ISO 5,000 which accounts for the grain. It was at 21 mm, 1/50th sec, and f/3.5 using a 18-55 Canon kit lens.
