sundarban guards



we had to hire these two guards while in the sundarban area of bangladesh for protection from "tigers and bandits"

unfortunately we saw neither while out in the sundarbans, the world's largest mangrove forest.

getting back in the groove


so i finally finished my move which included moving to an apartment that wasn't ready and starting a new job. the apartment chaos took a lot of energy and compounded the stress of the move.

sorry for delay on updates, but i should be back and running on the blog and photo life in general as of now. and while i work on editing the story from bangladesh, i'll try to throw up more outtakes from my trip there - and if my employer allows, work from the virginian-pilot.

meanwhile, here's a pic from the slum area we were working - one of the neighboring kids eating.

bangladesh




been in bangladesh trying to work on a story, which i'm hoping to pitch out, so down the road i hope to share them afterwards.

meanwhile, i'll put up some outtakes from my time - here's one of them - of a village woman in the rural southwestern region of bangladesh.

it was absolutely striking traveling to such an remote area, one that i won't forget.
