BENGALI LADY CARRYING DIRT, excavating for a new apartment building. The poor don’t have many choices. It is nice to see that she is working instead of begging, though I wish she had other options.

VENDOR AT THE TOWN HALL MARKET, in Mohammadpur, Dhaka. Here is where I buy my potatoes, onions, garlic, and cloves.
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.
AT THE DRIK GALLERY LEAVING with a rickhsaw. Ingrid, my friend and physiotherapist making sure I use proper procedure in getting on and off of a rickshaw.
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!

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.
