Often times we empty spaces and they are a reflection of our current society empty of values and a deviated social norm. We need to get back to a principled society based on our heritage as a country not divided races. Globalism is not the panacea of the world but the encroachment of countries.
Truly a riveting article and amazing documentary photography. The photographer of this story did a wonderful job at documenting the reality that these women have to endure in a day to day basis. A truly gut wrenching situation. I personally had no idea a place like this existed and much that its 200 years old.
Bangladesh is one of the few Muslim countries in the world where prostitution is legal. The Kandapara brothel in the district of Tangail is the oldest and second-largest in the country — it has existed for some 200 years. It was demolished in 2014, but has been established again with the help of local NGOs. Many of the women were born there, grew up there and didn’t know where else to go when it disappeared.

My wife won’t go anywhere near the sun without these hats called “pamelas”. Again, I’m more and more convinced that the dynamic range of cameras are not of the utmost importance in my photography.

I’m getting back in the groove of processing and starting to get the hand of Capture One. These were taken from my recent trip to Cuba back in June of this year.
I’ve had a nice and long hiatus from photographing, enough to put a lot of things perspective which I hope to share on this blog. Jumping forward, the aspect of a digital darkroom is always evolving and we can get so entrenched in our ways, well at least I have with Lightroom, Bridge, and Photoshop so after hearing so much of Capture One I decided to download the trial and give it a spin. I understand the new muscle memories will have to be built in the process but so far I’m quite impressed with C1. Since I don’t have a full blown catalog, I’m processing some old files from various years and so I figured I would get about 150 images from my 40,000 photo library and start playing with a good chunk of these and see how they fare vs Lightroom. Here’s a quick sample from my old Panasonic GF1, it may not be the most technically executed shot but it has a certain something something that just screams in my opinion. And this leads me to another issue, and that’s the infamous megapixel wars but that’s another series of post I will develop in the weeks to come.
