People to the Flowing Waters by Shahnaz Parvin
From the middle of the river, on a boat myself, I captured a quintessential scene of life in Bangladesh—the land of rivers and boats. As I looked on, I saw people crossing the river in boats, their daily commute etched into the rhythm of the water. The boatman, weathered by years of hard work, guided the vessel with expertise, his white beard a testament to the passage of time. In this snapshot of daily life, I felt the pulse of Bangladesh’s river culture—a timeless tradition that binds its people to the flowing waters that sustain them.
