Pepper slicing photography

Bangladesh, you can say it is poor or rich. The outside world can never define the standards of the rich and the poor. The old man is smiling. I think his smile is extremely rich.

People all over the world are traveling, but few people come to Bangladesh. Officials say there are about 65438+ million tourists a year, and Hangzhou is only a few days.

This country can be summarized in a few words: it is the oldest nation in the South Asian subcontinent, and it is also the country with the highest population density and the least developed economy in the world, with complex religious beliefs.

Suffering from colonialism, war, religion and nature, the People's Republic of Bangladesh was not established until 1972.

But this place, which is not favored by history and civilization, is the world that some people are looking for, or they have found the true colors of the world here.

They went to Bangladesh more than once, and most of them were photographers. Just like me, after traveling all over the east and west, they found that poor Bangladesh actually kept the most beautiful eyes and faces of human beings.

There are many famous markets in the world. Although Bangladesh is poor, there are many markets in every urban area. There are many people, materials and stories in the market. Every year, every day, every moment, the most vivid life phenomenon is being staged.

How can we go deep into a country or a city and see their market?

Fairs can be divided into three categories: cultural fairs, farmers' markets and comprehensive fairs. Every country has different markets. Cities with human history generally have traditional and classical markets, and they are all the centers of that city.

I have been to almost all the world-famous markets.

Turkey has the best smelling market in the world, which specializes in selling spices. It was established by the ancient Egyptians by sea and is still called the Egyptian market today. Istanbul's Grand Bazaar is the largest and oldest market in the world. It is a fully enclosed building, like a huge Aladdin's treasure cave, with 65 streets, 26 exits and more than 4,000 shops. Every day, more than 200,000 tourists flock to this huge cave. The grain market in the center of Munich, 1807, opened. It has been full of vitality and fragrance for more than 200 years, which deserves our respect.

I have also been to the largest open-air market in the southern hemisphere, Queen Victoria Market in Australia; The most retro market, Chelsea Market in America, was the place where Indians exchanged prey and grain more than 300 years ago. Eat Oreo cookies, which was invented in this market; Speaking of shopping, Paris Saint Vincent flea market is the originator of the second-hand market in France. It is unique in that it is both literary and retro, full of life. There are countless antique objects, antiques, French customs and books and coins here, which can satisfy the most enthusiastic creative desire and shopping desire. ...

The markets in Bangladesh are basically farmers' markets, which are not found anywhere in the world. They are mainly distributed in developing countries, such as China, India and Bangladesh. But not in Africa, because there is no agriculture in Africa.

Large-scale farmers' market should have three characteristics: good breeding conditions, large population and underdeveloped economy. Different cities have different forms and the market is a living model. Social atmosphere, folk customs and local characteristics are all reflected in the market.

The market in Bangladesh is different from all the markets I have been to before. There are almost no other varieties except crops. But I really fell in love with the market in Bangladesh, and I liked everything I saw there. It is not too much to describe shock, and there is almost no reason.

The human face is mysterious and changeable. Compassionate, vicious, happy, sad, relaxed, alert, trusting, alert, generous and gloomy? All the emotional clues are on the face. Face is a complicated mirror of life and an outlet of soul intuition. ? A person's face is his own history, the origin and evolution of race, past and future.

History recognizes that India is a museum of ethnography, and I think Bangladesh is also a museum. Men, women, old people and children in the Bangladesh market ... their faces are angular and full of strong Indian and Pakistani national styles, which belong to the unforgettable faces of the world.

The earliest inhabitants of Bangladesh were Asian Australians. Later, Mongolians using Tibeto-Burman languages entered from the northeast, and then Aryans mixed with Dravidians moved in. In the South Asian subcontinent, after a long period of integration, these ancient races formed Bangladeshis with the characteristics of India and Pakistan today. ?

In the market of Bangladesh, everyone's face, expression and behavior are not posturing, but their daily appearance.

? It only takes a few minutes to make friends in Bangladesh. People's feelings are from the corners of the eyes, corners of the mouth, the tip of the nose, eyebrows, forehead, shining eyes, these subtle and vivid places.

Bangladeshis don't seem to have learned to use "no", for example, they never refuse to take pictures. You can't hold your camera close to a person anywhere in Europe, and you will be yelled "No? ! "This is polite.

But here, the two sides who took photos became friends, and they handed cigarettes warmly and kindly. I will also take photos with the photographers and ask them to look at the photos taken for them quickly. Then I will be satisfied, shake hands and leave with a smile. ?

The market here is also the most natural and casual market in the world, with no shouting and no noise.

Bangladeshi businessmen don't sit cross-legged or lie on their backs in their own homes in the market. They are laid-back, rambling and calm, just as quiet as the mountains of grains, fruits and vegetables around them. ?

As a way of passenger transport and logistics, train can also be said to be a dynamic market. Why do so many people shoot green leather trains and record history? Nostalgia? Train files? More than that, I think it's because of vividness.

Train culture is full of vigor and vitality. Pursuit, yearning, longing, getting along, colliding and searching are all short-lived and eternal. ?

You have to see three types of trains: green leather trains, mountain bikes and open trains.

Green leather train has become synonymous with economy and culture in a certain period, and it is also the eternal feeling of domestic literary youth. The green leather trains in China and Russia are very famous. The route from Beijing to Moscow is called k3. This green leather train will leave the country for outer Mongolia and then enter Russia. This year's Spring Festival TV series "Moscow Action" is very popular, and the police and robbers ride back and forth. ?

Mountain trains are very famous in Europe and belong to sightseeing type. The most advanced is Switzerland, and many famous scenic spots are distributed on the sightseeing train line. Centennial train in the eastern peak of Alps, Dashan train line in Austria, tram in Mount Fuji in Japan, forest train in Alishan National Scenic Area in Taiwan Province Province ...

The third type is in Bangladesh, a world-famous open train, which hangs passengers on a moving train. The locomotive, the outside of the door, the hook connected with the train skin and the roof of the train are all crowded with people, and the train is still running.

Indian trains used to be like this, but now they are rare. At present, in the world, the turbulent and crowded trains and the worn-out train skins that photographers regard as treasures may only be seen in Bangladesh. ?

Their railway station is also like a free market. Passengers can go in and out at will and check in when they get on the bus. But it seems that there are more people who have no money, haven't bought tickets or don't want to buy tickets at all than those who check in and get on the bus. ?

The train is also moving slowly and humanely, which seems to give more opportunities to those who perform stunts. ?

Men, women, and children in this country are experts in ripping up trains. They can also watch their mobile phones, use computers and sleep on the top of a moving train. Some people even ran to the top of the moving train and rolled down the window to get into the carriage. ?

What is even more peculiar is that there are various agricultural products on the roof, and various jars and baskets are filled with fresh fish, vegetables, fruits and non-staple foods. I really don't know how these goods got here, of course, there are more in the carriage.

The train is a strange long-distance market. Not only do they do business on the top of the carriage along the way, but at every stop along the way, they are also crowded with buyers and sellers waiting for transactions and carrying goods. Both sides on and off the train race against time to make a deal. ?

The huge market is more like a colorful giant stage, and even tricycles full of various commodities are so dazzling. Bangladeshis regard this simple means of transportation as a treasure, and car owners are scrambling to ask painters to draw all kinds of beautiful patterns on the car body, coupled with beautiful bells and ornaments, which become their treasures flying in the wind-colorful tricycles. ?

In the lens, Bangladesh is almost a color market. The crops in the farmers' market are as brilliant as pyramids. Red peppers, golden and blue onions, colorful fruits and grains are covered or piled up everywhere ... From the market to every corner of streets, highways and cities, Bangladeshis wear gorgeous clothes, just like their crops, shining in the sky. ?

Whether the economy is developed or not does not seem to reduce the gorgeous color and optimism of this country. Many old men in the market are also very cute. They dye their beards or hair orange and brownish red, hoping that others will think he is different. ?

I have never seen a woman more elegant than a Bangladeshi woman in the market. Colorful sari women walk around the market, always feeling that they are walking on a movie screen. They are picky, bargaining and generous. This natural feeling in the market has formed an aura, and there is no inherent tension and oppression at all. ?

Yukio Mishima once wrote, "Even poverty is colorful"? This is the case in Bangladesh.
