…. 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.

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 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 [...]

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 [...]

SoFoBoMo blank page

SoFoBoMo 2010: Unfortunately, due to various reasons, I have had to drop the idea of doing a photo book on the temples of North Bengal. My other choice [second choice?] is to do a similar theme – the beauty of Panam Nagar and Sonargaon village near Dhaka. I will Start Tomorrow the 4th June 2010 [...]
