SmugMug Photo & Video Sharing. You look better here. : LAMB church, Christmas season. Hand-held shot from a Sigma film SLR. I really like this shot. Of course, I had to take a few photographs to get one reasonably steady shot! (Taking several photos to get one 'steady shot' was unusual for me in the days when I used film!)

Her head bridesmaid is obliged to give her moral support and encouragement during this difficult time.

> Women working on handcrafts. Bangladesh also has a flourishing rag-trade, providing T-shirts to the whole world.

> Fieldwork. The average Bangladeshi rice farm is larger than the average Chinese rice farm. However, the average Bangladeshi family is also a lot larger than the average Chinese family.
