SLC-S32/W3 | Frames of My World : People & Everyday Life

I am taking part in this contest: SLC-S32/W3 | Frames of My World : People & Everyday Life. El Lugar de los Servicios y el Movimiento. Special thanks to @sohanurrahman for organizing such a wonderful contest.

Where is this place located?

The place shown in the picture is located in Barakhata Union, Hatibandha Upazila. This is a scene of cutting a mango tree. It is located in the yard of our house. Due to many storms and rains, our house is a little ahead of this tree because it is old. For which we did this work. Our house is a little far from Barakhata Union, Hatibandha Upazila, about five to six kilometers. It is a rural area.

Who are in your picture and what are they doing?

The people in this picture I took are woodcutters. We decided not to cut down the mango tree in front of our house because it was leaning due to the rain. Because it could fall on our house at any time and cause an accident. So to avoid accidents, we decided to bring these woodcutters and cut down our tree. About four to five of them came to cut down our big tree. They brought axes, saws, big axes, spades, etc. to cut down the tree. We brought them here through a contract. They were paid a certain amount of money for the job. Their main purpose is to cut down trees and this is how they earn their living.

How do these people contribute to the local society or economy?

These people play a huge role in our local society and economy and their contribution is very important and undeniable. Because they cut trees and prepare them for processing, through which we get the cuts to make our various wooden items. It is because of their hard work that we are able to cut trees very easily and use them. If they were not engaged in all these works, then we would have to spend a lot of time and money on cutting and processing trees. Therefore, the contribution of all these people to our society or economy is very important and very big.

What did you learn or observe while spending time in this place?

Here I see that when they were working here, they were working with a lot of attention, on the other hand, they had no attitude, they were only focused on their work. From here I learned that no matter what work they do, they have to do it with attention and deep attention to the work. From here we have many victims like "when the need is over, someone throws away their wooden things" like here the tree kept us safe by giving us air, fruit, chalk, shade, oxygen and many more and came to our benefit. But when it felt that it was no longer needed, it was cut down and no one remembered all the benefits that it had done before and helped. The workers here are very precise and experienced in their work. They do not get upset in any way while doing all these works and do not make many mistakes, they do it exactly as they try. Because they know that a mistake on their part can cause a big problem. So they do the work quickly with experience. Since if the tree was a little problem next to our house, the tree could have fallen on our house and caused a lot of damage, but because of their experience, it did not happen. So having experience and attention is very important in any work.

What story or feeling do you think your photos express about daily life?

In the photos I have taken, I have tried to portray the struggles, hard work, hardships, and hardships of people's daily lives. People are involved in different types of work to meet their daily needs. The best types of work can be different, for example, in my photo, it is shown that the woodcutters have chosen this path to earn their living. Others have chosen other positions to earn money for others. This is a vivid example of how people adopt different methods and struggle to make a living.

All the trees were being carefully cut down. The leaves were being separated from the branches
