Yearbook Photographers

I am the fellow on the left! We were the “Reverie” Yearbook staff photographers. We also developed and printed the B&W photos in the darkroom. The camera was a Twin Lens Reflex. Gone are the days of buying flash bulbs, and handheld light meters!

Selfie Time

Thanksgiving Moment: My son getting a family photo with his three sons!

A photographer using the backdrop of the stonework of the Millersburg Courthouse for her photoshoot.

It’s amazing how the time of day makes a great difference! The first one was taken nearer sunset.

These are friends of mine who are also members of a carving club at the Wilderness Center in Wilmot, OH.

Waiting for my chai tea to steep, so took a few photos at this coffee shop while waiting.

Farewell

This is a photo of me taking a photo at the Bangladesh National Martyr’s Monument in Savar. I say farewell, because we have a flight scheduled to return home to the USA on March 23. The three months here, felt like we had never left. So many memories, and good friends in Bangladesh.

National Parliament House, located at Sher-E-Bangla Nagar, is an Architectural wonder in the world and masterpiece of the world-famous architect Louis Isidor Kahn. Because of its architectural values and significance, it is an important place for the visitor from home and abroad. -Wikipedia

You can see this masterpiece in the background.

This is the intersection of Mirpur Road and Manik Mia Avenue, below where the Bangladesh Parliament Building photo was taken.

Here from this vantage point outside the “Seventh Heaven” cafe my friends were videoing the traffic below. We enjoyed a dish of ice cream here as well.

Failed Capture

I was trying to capture someone’s face who was traveling by in the ring of wire!

In the first photo, the ring of wire was in focus, the person had already passed by. In the second photo, again the subject was past the ring, and the writing on the wall across the street was in focus! So it goes!

Wedding Shoot

Photographer in vibrant red!

Interesting to note the young girl in green watching me photograph the “photographer in red!”
