The Farmer’s Plight by Shahnaz Parvin
In the fields of Dhaka, Bangladesh, my Nikon D60 lens captured the poignant reality of the farmer’s plight. With an aperture of ƒ/5.3 and a focal length of 42.0 mm, the image immortalizes the sweat and toil of those who work tirelessly on other people’s land, yet never own even an inch of soil. They sow seeds of hope and labor, only to watch others reap the golden harvest and fruits of their labor. Shot on October 16, 2009, at a shutter speed of 1/200 and a sensitivity of 100, this photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the inequalities ingrained in agricultural systems across the globe
