Bangladesh, One of the poorest nations in the world just happens to be one of the interesting places I've photographed. Throughout the country, there are signs of poverty and hardship from everywhere you look around. And yet, the country is faced with natural disasters every year killing thousands of people. The most striking thing in this nation was the opportunity for photographers. Its a photographers paradise. Virtually everything you see on the street, on the slums beside the flood plain, will capture a photographers attention. Dhaka, the capital's streets are over numbered by human rickshaws and men and women carrying heavy loads, including fish, chicken, vegetables, fruits etc. on their heads. This photo shows workers carrying bags of what seems to be more like cement or fertilizers, during a quick cross across the road. In Dhaka, traffic is unbelievably congested and combined with lack of traffic rules, can make you wait quite sometime before you can even think of crossing. Photo: AMU 2002.
