My Photo scholarship 2011 entry

Bangladesh | Tuesday, November 8, 2011 | 5 photos

I love how lines lead us to someone, somewhere, something. Lines in nature, lines in wood, lines in hands and faces - they take us somewhere. These are some of the lines I found in Bangladesh. These lines shared with me a country with so much history and laughter.

For me, photography is an extension of understanding a way of life. I have been taking photos since I was 12, and have used it as a way to understand the world a little bit better, and hopefully draw in other people to be a bit more curious about the world. It's one of the reasons why I am currently pursuing my Master's in Development Practice - in exploring the world through a lens, I want to contribute to working on some of the world's most challenging problems. I think photography and international development work is a natural partnership; one explains what the other is trying to resolve.
