Street Photography

Old Photo Revival Project: Street Photographs in Bangladesh, Part III

When life and motions synced in silent stillness, something beautiful happens.

Background story

Bangladesh is a South Asian country located just beside India and Myanmar. It is the world's 8th largest populous country, with a population of 164 million (and counting). The reason to mention population number was for one particular reason: more people, more motions, more life stories.

I was in Bangladesh in the earlier period of my life. As a photography enthusiast, it was a blessing to have a camera while many stories were happening around. So I took advantage and captured thousands of images with my mobile camera and Nikon D90.

Flash forward to the present; I was checking a bunch of hard drives three weeks ago and discovered thousands of stored pictures. My first thought was, how long should I pretend these would be fine in the hard drive forever? Unfortunately, I lost a big chunk of university time pictures because one of my hard drives crashed.

I needed to come up with something that could (at least) save some of the old photos in case the hard drive collapsed.

Making videos using the old photos sounded like a decent idea. No one knows what the future is (perhaps uploading video on YouTube will be chargeable), but rather than losing or risking everything at once, this was a good idea to execute.

So I started the 'Old Photo Revival Project' to create YouTube videos using my old street photographs.

Following is the part III installment of the street photographs in Bangladesh.

Part III Sample Images

Title: Rented Commute.

Along with the buses and cars, one of the most used rented vehicles in Bangladesh used to be CNG-driven vehicles (CNG = Compressed Natural Gas). People used this vehicle to commute inside and outside the city. As renting the entire vehicle for a trip alone was expensive, these rented CNG-driven vehicles did passenger stop services. Usually, they had a standard route to take and drop off the passengers. I took the image on Sylhet-Srimangal Highway.

Title: Tea.

Bangladesh streets are full of small food shops and tea stalls. I captured this photograph while the owner was preparing the tea for my friends' group.

Title: Shadows.

The mingle of street lights, people, night, and raindrops created a dim effect on the photo, which for some reason, I loved and hence included in the photo story.

Title: Busy city.

Look at the bustling life around! Dhaka is home to 16+ million people, and this image captured some of the hustle and bustle!
