First photograph of a first day of a new year…

I hope this year I will do some more experiment with photographs and learn more things that I like. This year, I hope I will be able to play with 120mm camera and also with LOMOgraphy and as usual with some new digital camera also. I also love to take more photographs with “Through the Viewfinder [TtV]” photography and “CMYK” photography.

Mission I am working is on: to put 100000 photographs online, to do 10 group photo exhibition and 1 solo photo exhibition.

1000 photographs online 99000 to go,
Done 2 group photo exhibition and 8 to go and
1 solo photo exhibition left to do.

In 2008, I will try to uplift my mission.

Normal light bulb hanging on and made with “CMYK” photography.

Enjoy the life!

We are pleased to invite you to a special edition of photo.circle featuring brilliant Bangladeshi photographer Shehab Uddin.

Having worked as a successful newspaper photographer for more than eight years, Shehab took the step of giving up the security and the material comforts of a well paid job by joining Drik Picture Library is in Dhaka, Bangladesh. He works there as a photographer which gives him the freedom to practice his craft in the way he believes it should be.
