I've been extraordinarily lucky: Traveling to more than 50 countries, guiding for 10 years in Alaska and Oregon, living in Central Asia and experiencing quite a bit along the way. All while managing to develop a few good stories. In between teaching, a 2 year old and a wife in grad school - I also started a new direction by starting a career in art. Here is art, travels and other aspects of my life.

Bangladesh Part II

Here are an assortment of pictures and adventures from Bangladesh.

I am having some issues with the formatting so all the text is before the photos. I will try to fi it. 

1) This is an average windshield of the average taxi. A usual drive to school meant getting into one of the most dilapidated vehicles you've ever seen, that is until the next day. 
Turns out after a 45 minute commute to school this day the door I was leaning on (heavily) was held together and attached to the car by a strand of thin bailing wire. Imagine that thing you wrap the top of a bread bag with and you get the idea. Ignorance is truly bliss. 

2) These are the guys who fed me breakfast every morning. It was a local tea shop by my flat. They were hard working, interested and always smiling. I am not sure they had ever seen a picture of themselves, so taking photos was a blast. 

3) This is one of the classrooms I visited and gave a little lesson to. The students were so excited they could barely contain themselves.
