Photograph by Shafayet Apollo , My Shot

A man is bringing green coconuts to his stall. Only he and his family members live on this island. It is a little island named Chera Dip (chera means torn and dip means island). It is an extension of St. Martin s Island. This island is the only coral island in Bangladesh . It is in the Bay of Bengal, southeast of Bangladesh and very near to Myanmar .

In this age of photography in which all manner of effects can be achieved postproduction, I find it refreshing to see someone experimenting the old-fashioned way with an actual screen, complete with imperfect seam lines and holes.
