Stubble-faced Man With Stars In His Eyes

Shot in the city of Sonargaon, Bangladesh.

The stubble-faced man started to laugh when he noticed my lens focusing him. Because he engaged in manual labor, he had a trim body and had sunken cheeks. He was a rickshaw wallah. Setting his eyes dancing, he looked straight at me.

Although I knew it was misplaced kindness, I thought his bright eyes and hollow cheeks were disproportions. Anyway, I was glad that he seemed to enjoy being taken photographs.
