Vanilla Sky

March 23, 2009 Mahbubur Rahman

The sky was awesome this weekend at Caumsett park. Near the end of the walk, the sky had turned into a nice pink/yellow/red shade. Reminded me of Monet's painting. It was beautiful.

Brown and Yellow

March 21, 2009 Mahbubur Rahman

This is my friend's dog, Moses. Moses is a pretty cool dog - and by cool, I mean hip. Everytime I see him, he reminds me of a care-free, laid-back dude, one of those guys that makes everything look easy. He is a dog with personality. Recently he had a stroke, and was unable to walk around by himself, but with some support straps and such, he is doing good. This picture is pure moses, totally unaffected by the fact that I am taking his picture - and decided to pose in front of a nice yellow wall. The brown and yellow is a classic color combination and so I snapped :)

Reflections

March 20, 2009 Mahbubur Rahman

Summer Preview: I love sunsets - I mean, who doesn't? I love sunrises, too, but a morning person I am NOT. Anyway, sunsets are the reason I got into HDR, because I always had trouble capturing all the colors in the frame - something was always underexposed or overexposed - to make a long story short, I found out about HDR, and this is one of the first HDRs that I made. Cold Spring Harbor, New York.

Citadel

March 19, 2009 Mahbubur Rahman

This is one of the few buildings in Heckscher State Park in Long Island, New York. When I first saw this building it reminded me of the US embassy back in my country in Bangladesh. I was going there for my student visa, already nervous about it - and then I saw the building, which seemed huge at the time, as I was much younger. It had high walls made of concrete and outlined with blood red bricks, and four tall corner posts with guards - totally indimidating - all I could think about was how much it looked like a fortress. In retrospect, I saw the building again this year after 12 years - it's not that big :). This building is nowhere near as intimidating, but this angle reminded me of it and along with the dramatic sky, it looked a little menacing :)

Time Warp

March 16, 2009 Mahbubur Rahman

Freud would have a field day with this. The recurring bench theme makes its appearance again. This time its a little surreal, like when you work or stay up all night, and night blends into day and/or vice versa, hence the title 'time warp'. West Neck Beach, Lloyd Neck, New York.

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.
