There were hundreds of buildings going up in Bangladesh when I was there. All that concrete
needed aggrigate. This is how the aggrigate was produced. This rock crusher was on the
job from before I arrived and was still at it on my last day. His job is to turn all of the
big rocks into small ones.

Punjab was one of my favorite characters. He was young and incredably insensitive. He was
always in trouble for one thing or another. Here he eats his lunch with his right hand, as

Children in Bangladesh were free to wander from an early age. They were wonderfully
self-sufficient. This young man fishes for fry from a flooded roadway.

These young men had invested most of their money in clothes and wanted everyone

These guys were guarding the entrance to the US Embassy.

This crew was very interested in having their picture taken just outside the gate to the site

The next four images are of brothers and sisters. These two little jewels were
escaping monsoon rains in a doorway while waiting for their ride across the street from
Little Jewels primary school. The brother hid when he saw my camera.

These two belonged to the guard at Tarakandi. They lived in a hut against the compound wall
with at least 4 other siblings, their mom, and maternal grandparents.
|
This pair was miles from town, on their way to sell these two ducks. We asked the price
but they wouldn't sell because their parents had said to sell the ducks at market. We
gave them a Taka (40¢) each.

These gorgeous kids were minding their dad's fruit stand while he took a break.
