Country

June 3, 2009 Mahbubur Rahman

This is Country (street name), the man in this picture - The Bat Cave, one of many that live there. I met him during my walk in Harlem last week and he told me all about the history of the Bat Cave. He mentioned that the Bat Cave is one of the most coveted shooting locations for hollywood, and that he is the one to manage the place when the likes of Tom Cruise, Nicholas Cage and other famous hollywood actors and producers want to shoot their movies here. He also questioned me aggresively what I would be doing with the pictures, and after I mentioned that I'm really not a professional photographer and I don't plan on selling the pictures anywhere, he seemed to be more at ease. He also told me about another photographer who was doing a full fledged photojournalism piece about them (Andrea Star Reese) and the Bat Cave. He was really nice, and invited me to come back soon... hopefully I will make it back....

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.
