A Man Riding a Bicycle

A Man Riding a Bicycle

This is on the same road as The Green Tunnel, but this one is from the car as I didn't have the time to stop and take the shot. You can see the reflections on the lower right - which I chose to leave in. At a first glance, it may seem like a blurry shot most people would delete, but as we were driving, the framse seemed really good, and I couldn't help thinking about 'the moment' that HCB has always mentioned (albeit this may be a very poor example). The blur motion of the trees add to the shot, I feel...

The reason I chose to leave the reflections in was because the contrast in which this picture was taken always bothers me - I usually travel by car when I go back to Bangladesh, but looking out the window, the disparity between the rich and poor always bothers me... it was pretty cold, but here was this guy, biking to work (or wherever) while I was in my warm car....

Projects

The Tattoo Project
In this project, I have tried to take portraits of people with their tattoos, proudly showing the part the tattoos play in their lives.

Bangladesh
My country gets a lot of bad rep, and the only news you hear about it are about floods, cyclones, tragedies, political turmoil, etc. Its not what I remember growing up. I wanted to show a country that has so much more to offer than the sum of its statistics.
