sh@won. Get yours at bighugelabs.com/flickr

When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence. ------ Ansel Adams

Flickr has changed my life. No kidding. The constructive criticism I have received from flickrites has been a tremendous help. Now I realize that I am most happy with a camera in my hands and preferably outdoors.

Please ask permission to use my work. While I am flattered when I find one of my photos on a web site...I am not happy when it is on that site without permission and in violation of copyright laws. Just shoot me an email explaining how you want to use my work and I will get back to you.

Also...thanks for all the invitations to join various groups. However, if the group rules require you to fave five , comment on ten, etc. for every photo you post...please don't invite me.

    "I'm trying to write something about Shawon Da for a long time . but I could not find the appropriate words to describe his skills or works. Shawon Da is an extraordinary photographer, who makes a true picture of each proposal poetic. His pictures are full of sensitivity, plays with light and shadow and their frames, colors and express moments captured an impressive technical skill. If there is anyone I know so well here in Flickr community who can capture the essence of the soul and frame it in the truth of its humanity, it can only be Shawon Da. I'm so lucky that I got him in my real life too as a great friend. he is very much helpful & cooperative regarding any need about photography. I've learned many things from him & wish to learn more in coming days. wish you a successful life Dada... Love u always"

    "He is a master of portraits. And he is the craftsman of nature shots. Being an inhabitant of Sylhet in Bangladesh, which is a land of natural grace, he successfully captured the beauty of it. In Black and white or in colors, you will find his refined thinking being reflected. I thank him for bringing Sylhet to us at a glance...with all its people, nature and variation.

    And, yes, he is a nice person....who will instantly make you a friend!

    Take care Shawon vai."

    "Its not been too long since I know Shawon Da....... but looking at his pictures, I get a feeling that I've known this person for a long time...... I can finish talking by just saying that he is a gifted photographer....... but that statement would fail to do justice to his work......... you can get a real feel of life around this person......... I've jokingly said to him that he's been lucky to live at a place like that........ but hey, thats when we tend to miss out the most intimate moments of our life........ through Shawon Da's photography I discover the moments in life that I think I've missed......... all my best wishes for him........."

    "Be it in his expressive and moving portraiture, or his scenic, breathtaking landscapes, few photographers have dedicated themselves with such passion - and with such success - as sh@won to capturing the beauty and essence of his environment and his country, Bangladesh.

    The other-worldly beauty of his shots does a great service to the country, one which I'm proud to call my own.

    Looking forward to more outstanding stuff from you in the coming year!"
