morning light streamed through the window, sharp and golden, carving shapes in the air. two tables away, a man sat still, the lines on his face deep as stories untold. i asked if i could take his portrait. he chuckled, waved me off. "i’m not a good-looking man," he said. nonsense, i told him. the light wasn’t interested in good looks. it loved character, and he had plenty of it. he let me shoot, the glow falling across his weathered features like a map of a life lived. when i showed him the raw frame on my phone, his lips curled into a smile, faint but real. "not bad," he said. he was right—it wasn’t bad. it was honest.

Martyred Intellectuals Memorial (Bengali: বুদ্ধিজীবি স্মৃতি সৌধ) is a memorial built for the memory of the martyred intellectuals of Bangladesh Liberation War. The memorial, located at Rayerbazar, Mohammadpur Thana in Dhaka[1], was designed by architect Mostafa Ali Kuddus. During the entire duration of Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971, a large number of teachers, doctors, engineers, poets and writers were systematically massacred by Pakistan Army and their local collaborators, most notably the alleged Islamist militia groups Al-Badr and [Al-Shams (Bangladesh)|[Al-Shams]]. The largest number of assassinations took place on December 14, 1971, only two days before the surrender of Pakistan army to the joint force of Indian army and Mukti bahini.

In the night of 14 December 1971, over 200 of East Pakistan's intellectuals including professors, journalists, doctors, artists, engineers, and writers were rounded up in Dhaka. They were taken blindfolded to torture cells in Mirpur, Mohammadpur, Nakhalpara, Rajarbagh and other locations in different sections of the city. Later they were executed en masse, most notably at Rayerbazar and Mirpur. In memory of the martyred intellectuals, December 14 is mourned in Bangladesh as Shaheed Buddhijibi Dibosh ("Day of the Martyred Intellectuals").
Even after the official ending of the war on December 16 there were reports of hostile fire from the armed Pakistani soldiers and their collaborators. In one such incident, notable film-maker Zahir Raihan was killed on January 30, 1972 in Mirpur, allegedly by the armed Beharis of Mirpur.
The number of intellectuals killed is estimated as follows: educationist 991, journalist 13, physician 49, lawyer 42, others (litterateur, artist and engineer) 16.[2]
Noted intellectuals who were killed between March 25 and December 16, 1971 in different parts of the country included Govinda Chandra Dev (Philosopher, Professor at DU), Munier Chowdhury (Litterateur, Dramatist, Professor at DU), Mufazzal Haider Chaudhury (Litterateur, Professor at DU), Anwar Pasha (Litterateur, Professor at DU), Dr. Mohammed Fazle Rabbee (cardiologist), Dr. Alim Chowdhury (ophthalmologist), Shahidullah Kaisar (journalist), Nizamuddin Ahmed (Reporter), Selina Parvin (reporter), Altaf Mahmud (lyricist and musician), Dr. Hobibur Rahman (mathematician, Professor at RU), Dhirendranath Datta (politician), Ranadaprasad Saha (philanthropist), Lt.

Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 3rd Earl of Shaftesbury, built a folly structure on the Shaftesbury Estate, known as the Philosopher's Tower. This folly sits in a field, clearly visible from the B3078 just south of Cranborne. It is thought that he did a lot of his philosophising in this tower, and from this suggestion it has become known as the Philosopher's Tower.
Every year insane people travel to the end of the earth to battle with winds up to 120 km/h to photograph the majestic mountains of Patagonia. In some ways I found this to be one of the most challenging places to shoot in my life, but fortunately I gave myself plenty of time to connect with this place, explore, be patient, and capture moments. I've found inspiration through many of the greats of our time, and part of me wondered prior to going on this trip, what I could possibly add. The greats of our time travel here regularly, and now I know why.
This area is both vast, and small. I felt like I could explore it for months, maybe even years, and still not know all it's secrets, but I also felt like I could cover most of the ground in a day (and did so regularly), if I knew exactly where I wanted to be. It's a very accessible place, in one of the most remote parts of the world. I think this is the primary reason this place is so popular. Anyone flying into the area can see how vast and remote the Andes mountains are. There are unexplored places deep in the southwest of Chile & Argentina that have yet to be put on the map. For now, I was content to explore Fitz Roy, and Torres Del Paine.
This photograph required deep exploration, and special permits. It also required multiple trips up nearly 1000 meters of back country climbing, first to scout the location, then to come back under better conditions. I've never seen a shot from here before, perhaps because it requires sketchy river crossings, backcountry travel, expert navigation, night hiking, steep grades, traveling through thick woods, and perfect conditions. This shot was taken at sunset, and is a single shot taken at a fairly rapid shutter speed to capture the circling condor above. I had to stretch/clone out part of a hill to fix the overall composition, and it didn't come out perfect as it's a somewhat rapid edit. Exgif: f/8, iso64, 15mm, 1/160, nikon d850

The Book of Kells Exhibition at Trinity College is a must-see on the itinerary of all visitors to Dublin.
Built between 1712 and 1732, the Long Room at Trinity College’s Old Library holds the collection’s 200,000 oldest books.
The distinctive and beautiful dark oak barrel ceiling was added in 1860 to allow space for more works when the existing shelves became full. Stretching over 200 feet in length, the Long Room also features a large collection of marble busts of some of history’s most brilliant philosophers and writers as well as one of the three oldest surviving harps in Ireland.
By far its most famous holding, is an extraordinary illuminated manuscript known as the Book of Kells.
Tips for photographing Long Room without all the people:
Plan your visit, book the first admission ticket to Book of Kells online ahead of time. Be there lining up a half of hour before door opening. Get your camera with wide angle lens ready. Once door opened, go straight up to the second floor where the Long room is located. You would have about ten minutes before the crowd gathering. Then you could walk through the exhibition at your own pace after. (Please note that no tripod and flash are allowed)

Greek philosopher searches by lamplight for an honest man. The irony in this is that he needs a lamp .
From ancient times to the present, philosophers have repeatedly emphasized the importance of living a frugal or minimalist life. The ancient Greek philosopher Diogenes said, “True wealth is not in increasing possessions, but in reducing one’s needs.” Mahatma Gandhi pointed to the destructive side of human greed, stating, “The Earth has enough for everyone’s needs, but not enough for everyone’s greed.” From the Buddha to Karl Marx, across the passage of time, many have expressed similar ideas. This minimalist concept in philosophy has greatly influenced the photographer, and its mark is clearly visible in his vision and framing.
The absence of color or the use of minimal composition in framing reflects the photographer’s inclination toward a minimalist approach. The fog, wrapped like a thick winter blanket, creates a serene atmosphere. In this calm and pure dramatic setting, human presence becomes secondary. Before nature, even humanity’s vast achievements become insignificant. That is why the photographer has kept humans and their architectural achievements in the background, framing the scene in a minimalist style. Here, nature is the primary subject—not humans or their constructions.
According to nihilism, or the philosophy of pessimism, human life does not has inherent purpose. Evolutionary theory has shown that humans are an unintended outcome of nature’s evolutionary process. Yet human beings, regarded as the finest of creations, continue to exploit all their knowledge and effort into seeking meaning in life. They establish ever-greater architectural structures upon the heart of nature. In proving their superiority, they seem to challenge nature itself. Viewing nature as an adversary, humanity gradually distances itself further and further from it.

I lead no party; I follow no leader. I have given the best part of my life to careful study of Islam, its law and polity, its culture, its history and its literature.
