…. and there is this glorious sunset. Quick grab of camera bag and out the door as fast as I can before the colors fade. Got there in time.

Big river big view
Posted in Bangladesh, river on Jul 28th, 2010
Had lost track of a series of aerial photos taken in July 2008 of the Bangladesh delta during a flight from Bangkok to Dhaka. Just found them. The view of the massive rivers and the silt delta was amazing. Difficult form me to capture the visual impact in a photo but here is my best [...]
On the street

Melting bitumen to re-pave the street – hot, choking smokey, sticky and acrid. For them, just another day earning a livelihood.

Morning out on the Peacock
Posted in Balu River, Peacock, boat, river on Jun 26th, 2010
25th June Bunch of us went out early morning on the Peacock from Tolna, stopped off at Ullukhola Market and hired this contraption of a three-wheeled “motor-van” to go explore the 2 old 17th century Portuguese Churches in Nagori and Motbari. One other old church that I had visited in 2007 I could not locate this [...]

A lovely evening aboard the Sunflower on the Balu River outside of Dhaka city. A few nice friends, great food and drink, super cool breeze and a magical evening – low billowy clouds, then a pale but pretty sunset, and finally the moon lighting the way….

SoFoBoMo 2010 – book done and online
Posted in Bangladesh, Book, Heritage, ISSUU, Photography, Ruins, SoFoBoMo, Sonargaon, published on Jun 12th, 2010
SoFoBoMo 2010 book completed today. A great experience, though I did miss the company of a friend who was to join-in but finally could not. This, in a way, limited the extent of my photo taking – though I still do have a large collection of images to use for a [later] series on [...]
Sonargaon walk – and SoFoBoMo 2010 almost done
Posted in Bangladesh, Book, Photography, SoFoBoMo, Sonargaon, WIP on Jun 11th, 2010
SoFoBoMo 2010 book nearing completion. Made another visit to Panam Nagar in Sonargaon this morning… not early enough though and we got caught up in a bad traffic tangle going out which added to the delay. Early morning light was gone, harsh bright sunlight was fine in a way because most of the main street [...]
