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 [...]

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.

A trip to Sonargaon, around 30 KM from Dhaka city…. the ancient Capital now in ruins. Like a ghost town, the homeless living in abandoned buildings. Buildings that were probably majestic and stately at one time, now crumbling in neglect, robbed of their ornate carved doors and windows, full of rubbish and the homeless… pathetic [...]
