Photo Series - Bricks Over the next few posts, I will be posting from my visit to the brick factories near Dhaka, Bangladesh. Outside the city there are sprawling fields of brick factories. Each factory employees about 200 people who work in very difficult conditions. Clay is molded into bricks that are left in the sun to dry. Once dry enough, they are stacked into large kilns and fired with coal. Once complete, they are loaded by hand into trucks and sent to the city. In spite of the conditions, the people were exceedingly friendly and open. It is a place I'd like to return and take more photos. #dhaka #bangladesh #apfmagazine #maciejdakowiczworkshop #documentaryphotography #streetphotography #natgeo #yourshotphotographer #brickfactory #childlabor #burndiary #myfeatureshoot  #storyofthestreet #StreetsGrammer #fromstreetswithlove #challengerstreets #intercollective #zonestreet #myspc #spicollective #thestreetphotographyhub #travelawesome #irimages #thestreetphotographyhub #people_infinity #life_is_stree #lensculturestreets #ourstreets_ #lotsmagazine
I don’t usually post photos of myself, but In Bangladesh I posed for countless photos and selfies. Not a selfie taker normally, I started taking my own selfies with the locals which was great fun. Bangladesh has some amazing people - I don’t think there is anywhere quite like it. . #dhaka #bangladesh #travel #travelgram #selfie #muslim #islam #beard #groupphoto #asia #asiatravel #instagram #instatravel #bangladesh🇧🇩
