Dhaka is a city of people and life. Sometime it’s so busy that you can feel every second counts working here. Yet, when the rain comes – the city gives a different look. Taken from the streets of dhaka immediately after washing out by heavy rain

Trees, when the new leaves are being born after looks wonderful to me. their branches forms different patterns on the sky which I like very much. This was taken on the streets of Dhaka, just before evening. I wished a few birds were there, too. However, the negative space and the pattern is something that I liked very much in this photo and couldn’t resist myself from sharing.

the one who sold his evening

Streets of Dhaka is full of different types of people and it’s surprising how they earn their living. Their diverse lifestyle is always an inspiration for the artists and photographers. Found this guy selling cigarettes and betel leaf to pedestrians in this holy month of fasting. As people don’t eat during the day in this month of fasting, so they sell their items in the evening.

Found this guy, who works as a security guard in a local shopping mall is waiting in front of the market for his colleagues to come. Meanwhile, his companion is the daily news paper.

repairmen

Some repairmen were cleaning/repairing on the glass roof of a huge atrium and seeing them through the glass was interesting to me. Their ladder, how they lined up and the colored decoration were everything made it a shot worth to capture.

some photo dont need any description, some of them don’t need any story to be told. however, this is how capturing 1000 words in one click rolls on.

this photo was taken from a foot over bridge leading to a pontoon. there were people selling these veges and fruits to natives and I took the photo from the bridge with a wide angle lens. I loved the presence of those tomatoes which looks really out of the place because of their color, the dish and nicely juxtaposed on the ground.

And I also loved how the boy was looking at me with a face full of surprise and questions. Photography is such a wonderful job – and I just love capturing 1000 words in my clicks every often.

Unsung stories

People in Bangladesh works hard to earn their everyday living. This is a picture which portrays the same. Mom and her two little children are carrying dried leaves and branches to create fire for their cooking.

The most interesting part was the sizes of the bags on their head. Mom carrying two, the elder child carrying a bigger one and the last one, though little but still not just walking behind them, carrying a smaller one.

This is a picture how everyday runs here. Lots of issues around but life still marches on.

Dream boulevard

Dhaka is spectacular. You will find something cool in it’s every turn. Though people are poor and they work hard to earn their everyday living, the diversity is really surprising. I found this kid selling the bubble toy on the street and all the kids walking by were looking at him like he is the “Oz”. And they will be one of the happiest kid ever if they could get one. Some of them were even crying to their parents to buy one. Lovely!
