The monsoon rain fascinates me. The moments that precede and those that follow give an unrealistic scenario, the sky seems to merge with the earth, the colors fade away gently. Nothing would portend a catastrophic event such as the giver of life. The sound of the water invades the hearing and sight. Discerning a human figure becomes difficult if not impossible. Taking photographs gives the same sense actions in those moments when you do not know what really happened and you have only a vague idea.
The photograph is a witness of an intuition: the context, people and details of the faces you back to reality and allow you to savor a moment of life you have lived only half a minute not rational measure, an idea that you own the world around you and makes you walk the streets of Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. In major cities across the country, one of the poorest and most populated in the world living conditions are often very difficult, the population, although they work, live below the poverty line. In most cases it is piecework, involving entire families in the construction industry is that manufacturing and, although forbidden by law since 1992, exploitation of child labor. The search for recyclable materials in municipal waste becomes a means of subsistence. (Manuel Marano)
