Thanks in advance for checking my Photo stream ... :)
This is Syam didi (didi meaning elder sister in Bangla) with her new born son. It was shot during my trip to Bandarban two weeks ago.
It was on our first morning in Bogalake. I took out the 75-150mm and went for a morning stroll in the village. When I noticed Syam didi and her son standing in front of her tea shop. That's when I caught this moment.
Noise added during post processing.

It was evening, sun had already gone down. I was enjoying a boat ride with my friends on a little river in remote Bangladesh.
On the bank, this young man was taking his buffaloes home after a long day in the fields.
And on his back his little sister was taking a joy ride to home ! It was such a moment of affection and love, that despite failing light and poor focus, I had to share this moment with you.
Bangali River, Sariakandi, Bogra, Bangladesh

(+2 in comments) 38 of 365 – Candidly shot this mother & son at a pancake breakfast. As soon as I saw them I knew they had a very special relationship and did my best to capture it.
Of course, I asked permission from the mom first.

Talk not of wasted affection, affection never was wasted,
If it enrich not the heart of another, its waters returning
Back to their springs, like the rain shall fill them full of refreshment;
That which the fountain sends forth returns again to the fountain.
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
This painting depicts the frustration I feel in terms of love and intimacy. It is hard to put in words the agony I endure and the emptiness I feel inside. I sometimes feel like I’m a prisoner trapped inside a foreign body. Because I no longer have sensations anywhere on my body below my upper body I am unable to enjoy simple pleasures, like the warmth of a blanket on my legs, holding hands or dipping my feet in a cool pool. I am almost totally cut off from physical aspects of showing affection. If someone were to caress my leg, I can’t feel it. I can’t embrace my loved ones. When I try to pet my dog, I can’t feel her fur or her kisses on my hands and arms. When my nieces or nephews sit on my lap, it’s as if there’s nothing there. If I close my eyes, it’s as if the majority of my body does not exist. If I can’t see my body, I do not know where I am in space. I can’t feel most of my clothes; I can only imagine what they might feel like. Imagine for a moment, never being able to be truly intimate with anyone ever again. Some people say, that they have transcended above physical intimacy to mental intimacy. I say good for them! It is not the same. I feel as though I’ve been sentenced to a bizarre form of solitary confinement within my own body. I long for a day when I can feel again. My heart is torn to pieces over all that I’ve lost and all that I wish I had. The chains represent each of the emotions and memories that pull on my heart and weigh me down.
When I shoot weddings, I encourage the newlyweds to relax and enjoy the moment, ignoring me in the process. That direction and permission to simply bask in the beauty of their wedding day usually yields some really sweet and intimate portraits. This was one of my favorites.

This is a photograph from the finish of the annual Na Fianna AC "Bob Heffernan and Mary Hanley" 5KM Road Race and Fun Run which was held in Johnstownbridge, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Tuesday 17th May 2022 at 20:00. These photographs were taken around the 500m to go mark on the course.
This race needs no introductions as it is now firmly established on the Leinster road racing calendar with athletes travelling from all over the region to take part. The race has gained a glowing reputation as being one of the fastest 5KM road races in Ireland. It is one of the rare occasions around road racing circles these days where a very small club can organise a very successful large participation race. The attendance at this year's race exceeded all expectations. Today's race had a record attendance with over 700 participants finishing the race following on from around 600 finishers in 2019. This is the first staging of the race since May 2019 after two postponements due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This enforced hiatus has done nothing to reduce the allure of the race with runners coming from far and wide to participate. Popup Races were the official timing and event management partners of the race.

This race has great historical and emotional significance for the hosting club Na Fianna. Since the race's inception over 25 years ago it has commemorated the years of work and volunteering that local man Bob Heffernan gave to Meath, Leinster, and Irish athletics from grass roots upwards and his work with the host club Na Fianna AC. This year the dearly departed Mary Hanley joins Bob in receiving the honour of race dedication. Mary was a stalwart athlete, coach and volunteer for Na Fianna AC for her entire life right up to her untimely passing in summer 2021. Na Fianna AC are typical of many rural sporting clubs who have a large catchment area which combines rural North Kildare and South Meath taking in Enfield, Rathmoylan, Johnstownbridge and Baconstown. The race, known affectionately by club-members as simply "Bob's race" (and now Mary's) is a fitting tribute to commemorate his contribution to this sport. Indeed, not many road races are held in the same affection by runners as Bob's Race with runners returning back every year to sample the course and the wonderful atmosphere again. More rarely heard is runners reminiscing of running this race 15 or 20 years ago! What a fantastic endorsement of the race. Indeed, we remember the days 18 years ago when this race was held in the village of Rathmoylan about 10 miles from the current venue. In those days the race was deemed a success if 75 to 100 runners made the start line. What a testimony to the hard work of Na Fianna AC today's race is! The weather was perfect for road racing - hardly any wind and warm temperatures - with bright hazy sunshine.
The race is part of the Popup Races KIA Race Series. The race is a fixture on the Meath AAI Road Race calendar despite the fact that the race is run completely in County Kildare. The current route for the race has stayed the same over the past few years. However previous to that the race was held in Enfield and also Rathmoylan in County Meath. The race starts on the busy Enfield to Edenderry road and this requires a big effort from stewards and marshalls. However, as always, the event was a resounding success with personal bests and great runs from many of the participants. The course is very fast and flat - it is a one loop course which is left-handed in terms of turns.
Our photographer on the night was Martin Murphy from North Westmeath Athletic Club - thanks Martin!
