EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Dhaka, Bangladesh during rush hour in February 1961. The scene is a stark contrast to modern-day traffic jams we often associate with rush hour, as there are only a few cars present. Instead, the main form of transport around the city at that time was by bicycle rickshaws. The image captures the essence of a busy Asian metropolis in the 1960s. The street scene is teeming with life and energy as men go about their daily routines amidst a sea of people. Rickshaws can be seen weaving through the crowd, transporting passengers from one destination to another. Terry Fincher's keen eye for detail allows us to immerse ourselves in this moment frozen in time. The composition beautifully showcases both the vibrancy and chaos that defined Dhaka's urban landscape during this era. Looking at this photograph evokes nostalgia for an era when bicycles were not just means of exercise but served as vital modes of transportation for countless individuals navigating through crowded streets. It serves as a reminder that progress and development have transformed cities like Dhaka over time, shaping new realities while leaving behind cherished memories captured by talented photographers like Terry Fincher. This stunning print from Memory Lane Prints transports us back to an Asia on the cusp of change - where tradition met modernity against a backdrop of bustling streets and human resilience.
