As a photographer I am very happy to see his brilliant works and learn more things about his work and to know our past history of Bangladesh through his photographs. I found some of picture his emotional involvements and most of the works is black and white and used medium format camera. This is an artistic display of the people’s life of Bangladesh.

Since than in the forties, fifties and sixties, he preserved in this numerous creative photographs the diverse faces of Bangladesh. In 1971, he took numerous documentary photographs of the freedom fight.

National Election Campaign 2008

I discovered National Election campaign with Awami League President Sheikeh Hasina East part of Bangladesh (present Prime Minister of Bangladesh). I think it was  really the hard time to cover election campaign. Taking picture after edit them, caption them, get them to upload and than transmit.  I think it’s a good experience. This situation is more important to meet the time line.

Climate change touches already every corner of the world and every aspect of people’s lives. Rising sea levels and the growing number of natural disasters forced by climate change are already driving migration and displacement. Analysts say it could trigger a migration the size of which the world has never before seen.
