This young girl is a rag-picker. She goes out every morning to collect recyclable items such as paper and plastic to sell. The rag-pickers typically are carrying a big burlap bag which hopefully gets filled!
One of many of my young friends!
I wish a Happy Bengali New Year to All My Friends in Bangladesh!
I confess I was busy getting my income tax report ready to file to meet tomorrow’s deadline. I guess I do have an automatic 2 month extension, but I’d rather not take it. Anyway, we heard marchers outside on the street, so I headed out and grabbed a rickshaw to catch them on Sir Sayeed Rd. Then I decided since I was out to go to Manik Mia, so I asked the rickshaw wallah to take me there (http://www.thedailystar.net/beta2/news/nation-mingles-with-baishakh-colours/) . The lanes on both sides of the median were painted the whole way from Mirpur Rd. to the circle where Manik Mia splits. It was nice to take a break and see the festive air of the city. The photo of me was taken by the rickshaw wallah!
I hope this is a great year for Bangladesh in spite of the many hartals, demonstrations, etc. recently.

I shot this photo at ISO 5,000 which accounts for the grain. It was at 21 mm, 1/50th sec, and f/3.5 using a 18-55 Canon kit lens.
Note the photographer in the mirror! I got a haircut for 50tk (59Cents U.S.).

These are three of my friends. In the morning they walk around looking for paper and plastic they can sell for recycling. In the afternoon they go to school. The shy one is hiding behind his bag!
