A photo journal and some ramblings…
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 [...]

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 [...]
Posted in Balu River, Bangladesh, Sunflower, boat, farewell, river on Jun 20th, 2010
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….

A photo trip with good friend Stein Naevdal up the Balu River aboard the Peacock - a traditional Bangladeshi motorized sailboat boat – on 20th November early morning just as the sun was rising.

An early morning trip to Isapura village [23°49'37.72" N 90°29'19.09" E] near Dhaka today, with Ujwala. We left early [just after 6] and the light was beautiful while we were on the way, thought it would be gone by the time we reached our destination…. but luckily we got there well in time to watch [...]
Drove out to Ashulia for lunch at Little Italy and spotted this purple house on the Turag. The river has become quite wide from all the heavy rain we have been having. The river dwindles down to a narrow strip before the monsoon rains come. You can see the width of the river behind the [...]
Posted in Bangladesh, Buriganga, Dhaka, Photography, SoFoBoMo, boat, river, street photography on Jun 6th, 2009
Day 4: The Jatrabari bridge across the Buriganga river. Drove out to try locate an aea where, apparently, the local Sarees in brightly dyed colors are hung out to dry. I’ve seen these before too and the image in my minds-eye was clear. I was expecting to come across brilliant fabrics in all colors and [...]
