I got some criticism when I first posted a couple of these while still in Bangladesh. There were comments that I was taking advantage of people who were, in effect, working as slaves; however, that was not the impression I got while I was there at all. The people seemed happy to have jobs and were joking and laughing as they worked. Men, women, and children all worked together very cooperatively. They were very friendly and nobody objected to my photographing them as they worked. When they put their baskets and rocks down, they posed for photos and wanted to see them on the camera. All in all, it was a very positive experience and I was disappointed at the negative remarks I got when I posted the photos. So, I'm trying again. I took over 1000 photos there, both color and B&W. Here are the first two: https://pbase.com/tinamanley/image/168921344 https://pbase.com/tinamanley/image/168921392 I'll be posting a lot more as I edit them and I would appreciate your comments.
