More Pictures From Downtown

A man painting his food stand on a day off over Eid.

This is a large government building in downtown, we aren't sure exactly which one, but it is huge! Parts on either wing would not fit in the frame.

...Outside the building pictured above, some kind of street shooting game. This is unnerving on so many levels, at least the gun is only supposed to pop balloons...

Sara taking pictures of a group of people... I have taken a few of these pictures because the process of photographing strangers is so odd to me. I think that Sara has been a bit disappointed by the sense of isolation from true Bangladeshi life and culture that foreigners feel as a result of the holdovers from colonialism and the massive poverty. This is only my opinion, but I think that taking these pictures allows Sara to extract some beauty and sense of control over the feelings of depression and helplessness that can pervade one's experience.

I like this picture of a sculpture of a horse drawn carriage at a downtown roundabout and the ever-present rickshaw driver pulling his load, heading in opposite directions.
