The Left Shoe

April 14, 2010 Mahbubur Rahman

Wandering around the parks near where I live is a favourite pass time of mine. This pass time is now under attack, as New York State will close many parks this year, and curb spending on a lot of other amenities at these parks. For lack of more eloquent words, this sucks big time.

The Road Home

So, at first, this tiny little house in the middle of this huge field looked kind of cut off - there was no way to get to it, until I went to the other side and I saw this sand/gravel road. Its not much of a road, but still is enough to get to that house. Together its the perfect sight for the end of a long journey on a tough road - to be able to see the end, a nice cozy house waiting for you...

Solitary Confinement Part Deux

March 25, 2009 Mahbubur Rahman
20090324013525_img_248436_hdr.jpg

The tree I liked so much last summer has had its branches sawed off :( I was really disappointed to see that, but at the same time I noticed this other tree in a similar predicament. Another symbolism of spring - out with the old, in with the new...

Solitary Confinement

March 24, 2009 Mahbubur Rahman

Caumsett State Park has a lot of trees, but usually they are bunched up together - other than some trees near the entrance, which are less grouped together - but this is the one of the few trees that is totally by itself - not sure if it was shunned by the other trees :). This is also one of my first HDRs - and I wanted to test how far I can go to stretch the colors - this is by no means a natural look - and not meant to be either. Taken last summer.

Home Sweet Home

March 14, 2009 Mahbubur Rahman

I've always liked this car - not sure why, maybe the ruggedness of it; maybe the rough edges has a certain free-spirit charm to it. With the top down and the doors off, its an awesome car. I'm sad to say, I've actually never owned one of this. Seeing this in the mix of all the snow, she sticks out and looks out of place with the bright red, but at the same time she seems perfectly comfortable - to be in this mess. It's where she feels like home. Don't we all want that feeling?

On that note, this is the last of the snow series from Caumsett State Park - future photos from this place should have no snow, and a lot more green :)

Division

I named this Division, because with everything white and gray, the only thing keeping the sky and the land apart in my eyes was the barn and the trees - hence the title... Snow day in Caumsett State Park, Huntington, New York.

The Drowning Tree

Another picture to show the vastness and overshelming nature of snow. The tree is like is drowning in it, struggling to stay afloat - and another cold, cold portrait of Caumsett Park, New York after the snow storm.

The Bus Stop

Another brief intermission from the wolf series to go back to the cold snow day in Caumsett Park in Huntington, New York. The bench is a recurring theme in my photographs, when I first started experimenting with the emotion 'loneliness'. Since then, I've just become attached to pictures of benches, so here is another one.

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.
