WHERE’S THE BRIDE? She’s hid behind the photographer on the right. I guess that is what happens when a photographer gets married and invites the whole club to the wedding! Poor Bride! Of course this event is basically one big photo-op with a great meal.
GROOM IS WORKING ON CAMERA SETTINGS before taking photos of his bride. That’s what happens when you marry a photographer! Of course these Bengali weddings are not quite like the American ones. This is basically a wedding reception, where everyone comes and many get their photo taken with the bride, and get a great meal, visit and leave. Shudipto is a real gentleman and should make a great husband.
Shudipto and His Bride!
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO MY MOTHER and all the other great Mother’s who check out this site!
Tonight I attended a wedding of Shudipto, a TTL club photographer. He had invited all the TTLr’s from Dhaka to his wedding reception.
Of course then you would see action like this wouldn’t you, with both the bride and groom behind the lens? It was a fun evening with great Bengali food! All the typical wedding food including curried chicken, fish and beef. They also served my favorite drink, borhani!
TTL’s “BANGLADESH IN FRAMES 3” PHOTO EXHIBITION is finished. It ran from March 25-29. The photo below was taken outside the gallery. I am also in the group photo on the right hand side. Look for a pale face and white hair. It may be hard to do with the spot light that was aimed at the poster plus camera flash. Day 76 has a better rendition of the group photo.
INGRID MILLER AND I STANDING with the photo of mine that accepted to be a part of the TTL “Bangladesh in Frames III” exhibit at Drik Gallery, in Dhanmondi, Dhaka, Bangladesh from March 25-29. Ingrid is a friend and physio therapist who met me at the gallery to show me how to properly get up on a rickshaw and down. She was expecting me to arrive on a CNG, so was surprised to see me on a rickshaw before she taught me how. I did confess that I had already gotten up on a rickshaw, went to the vegetable market to buy veggies, and came home and got off the rickshaw. We tried several methods but she admitted that the way I was doing was probably the best way. I suspect in physiotherapy schools they don’t teach techniques on how to get up on a rickshaw unless the school would be CRP in Savar, Bangladesh!! Actually it was my wife’s good idea on how to get into a microbus (van), which she gave me yesterday on our trip to the India border. Ingrid also helped assist and give me ideas as I negotiated the steps to the different galleries at Drik. Notice the shirt which I received as a gift because one of my photos was accepted!
71 TTL PHOTOGRAPHERS WHO HAVE PHOTOS IN THE “BANGLADESH IN FRAMES III” photo exhibition at Drik Gallery in Dhanmondi, Dhaka, Bangladesh. This was the photo we had taken last evening at the Budhdhijibi Smriti Shoudho (Intellectual Martyr’s Monument in Dhanmondi). I am the “pale face” near the right edge of the group! The exhibition will be from March 25-29.
FAISAL, A TTLer TRYING FOR A GOOD SHOT of the tea estate worker in Moulovibazar.
I ATTENDED A TTL “LIGHTROOM” WORKSHOP, on Saturday pm, from 3-6:30 PM. The trip over in a CNG cost me $1, and lunch cost me $3. The workshop cost was $7, which included a nice chicken roll-up and a drink. It was presented by Jenny and Neerod, a husband and wife time. They had a nice powerpoint including demonstrations on the program itself.
Here is a photo of the TTLers that in November went to the Hakaluki Haor and Moulovibazar for a two day photo safari. TTL (a Bangladesh “Through the Lens” photo club. You can check out the club on Flicker or Facebook.
