How do you show love?
With a hug or an act of service!
What is a song or poem that speaks to you and why? “As the Deer!” Taken from Psalm 42:1: This is my prayer as I seek after God.
What language do you wish you could speak? Bangla, which I have a basic knowledge of, but am not totally fluent!
What was your dream job as a child? FBI agent! I gave that up when I realized that even to work in the crime lab, I would need to carry a gun! I probably read too many “Hardy Boys” books, or Sherlock Holmes mysteries! Of course I ended up in a hospital lab helping diagnosing diseases, instead of solving crimes.
What’s a lie you tell yourself? Walking an extra mile will take care of the cookie or cake (or Bengali sweets) that I just ate!
This photo sure looks posed, but obviously I had their attention! Of course, it isn’t every day that a foreigner walks down this side street! I suspect this will be one of my favorite photos for 2023! Mohammadpur, Dhaka, Bangladesh
Who is your favorite author and why? Max Lucado, because he is “down to earth,” and is practical.

Hot caramel poured over ice cream and brownie at the Manhattan Fish Market!
What color describes your personality and why? Bengalis call me “Ever Green,” because I am always cheerful.
What irritates you about the home you live in? The floor our Living Room and Dining Room is too high to be able to see our bird feeders!
What’s your favorite meal to cook and/or eat? For sure a favorite meal would be a Bengali meal.
Tops on the list would be the Nan Ruti, Dal Bhaji meal topped off with a cup of cha! Any curry meal would run second! Yesterday I was privileged to have both of these meals! Note the salad with my breakfast Nan meal, which was four slices of cucumber, a lemon slice, and a hot pepper!
Describe the happiest day of your life. Our wedding day!
This photo is at our oldest Grandson’s wedding celebration!
Do you have a memory that’s linked to a smell? I remember the smell of the perfume my wife wore when we were dating. During the years that we were writing letters, I remember going to the college campus post office every day to check if there was a letter from her. The envelope always had the same sweet aroma.
Here we are after 53 years of marriage!

The Ultimate Guide to Street Photography (+24 Tips)
Here is some street photography from today on Assad Avenue, Mohammadpur, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The gentleman on the left is my Bengali barber. They are unloading some ice, which they will crush and sell across the street at the Towne Hall Bazaar.
What fear have you conquered? Fear of water! I spent one Winter during my lunch hour at a swimming pool teaching myself how to swim.
