Parked

April 8, 2011 Mahbubur Rahman
Parked

Parked

Dhaka is known as the Rickshaw capital of the world. If you've ever been here, you'll know why. At any given time, there are 400,000 of them zipping around the city. Although the govt. is trying to ban them in a lot of the major highways during the daytime to reduce traffic jams, in Old Dhaka, it is the only form of transportation that can get into all the narrow roads and alleys. There are rickshaw garages everywhere. It is unlikely that you will see a bunch of them parked, but we had arrived at a less busy time, and on a holiday, so we caught a rare glimpse of them all parked together.

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.
