The Bangladeshi Photographers group recently completed a Cyclone Sidr fundraising exhibition, which presented a mix of amateur and professional photography at the Russian Cultural Centre last week. The exhibition has now moved to another venue (details below) but for those who may not able to make it, I managed to speak with some of the photographers about some of my favourites from the show. 

The BP group is unique in that many of them have come together via the internet---they are currently sharing their images in an ever increasing pool of quality photography of Bangladesh, which is freely available for all to see at Flickr. Click here to see more of the group's pictures. You'll find a mixed bag---some are amateurs with a a real talent, others are just out to have fun with their cameras and explore. 

The above image is by self-professed "IT Guy" Russell John. You can hear the story of this image and a few other favourites by following the link below and by listening to the podcast:



M R Hasan's "Road Workers"  photo. 

Moniruzzaman's "Creator of the Earth" photo. 

Next venue's details: 
Venue: Chobir Haat (opposite of Institute of Fine Arts, Shahbag)
Time: 11 AM to 8 PM
Date: 1st February 2008 to 3rd February 2008</itunes:summary>
