HAPPY EASTER!
I PHOTOGRAPHED THIS TIA PAKI (Bangla name) at Block D, Lalmatia, Dhaka! Different times this bird showed up and I was without my 70-300 Canon IS lens. I used auto focus and when looking at the photos, I wondered if I would have gotten a sharper image with manual focus! So it goes. I saw an ad which showed the price of this bird at 5,00o taka (62.50 USD).

A PILE OF WATERMELONS WITH THE SELLER PERCHED ON TOP OF THEM IN MIRPUR 1, DHAKA, BANGLADESH.
We sure have been enjoying the taste of this fruit. A small one will likely cost 1.40 USD.
TASTY WATERMELONS!
HERE I AM WITH ANOTHER FRUIT STALL OWNER! They sure know how to arrange their fruit in a pleasing manner.
FRUIT STALL OWNER GLAD TO POSE WITH HIS FOREIGNER FRIEND!
THIS HANDICAPPED MAN CAN BE FOUND DAILY BEGGING AT TOWN HALL BAZAAR.
He wanted my guests to take a photo of him and me.
HERE I AM WITH A MAN WHO ALWAYS GREETS ME WITH A SMILE AS HE SCOOTS AROUND WITH HIS 4-WHEELED "VEHICLE!"
This gentleman wanted his photo taken with these foreigners, probably especially with the lady! The other fruit sellers tease him by telling me he is a terrorist! He is a lot of fun. I’m sure in the days to come he will ask me where his copy of the photo is!
THREE BIG SMILES!
OUR GUESTS AND US DREW AT CROWD AT THE SHAH ALI MAZAR IN MIRPUR-1.
IT WAS A PLEASURE TO SEE MY FRIEND, RUBEL AS WE WERE LEAVING THE MARKET.
Since guests came with cameras I am able to post more photos of myself. One of the hazards of being the photographer in the family, is fewer photos of myself!
RUBEL AND I! Rubel with a big smile as always! Rubel must have been looking at the wrong camera!
HERE I AM AT MY FAVORITE VEGETABLE STALL!
NOW WHAT WAS WERE THE VEGGIES ON THAT LIST I LEFT AT HOME?
HERE IS A LADY WHO QUITE OFTEN TRIES TO CONVINCE ME SHE NEEDS SOME MONEY FOR FOOD OR CLOTHING!
The question is whether to give or not to give!
