Photo Note - Elite Forces

All around Dhaka you will find the most unthreatening, hapless security guards you’ve ever seen. They are scrawny kids who stand for hours outside resturants, atms, shoe stores, building sites. They carry antiquated rifles from the time of the 18th century which haven’t been fired ever. Most of them are unfailingly nice, and push overs if you need to get past them. Their uniforms are festooned with tags declaring them, ‘exclusive’, ‘top star’, ‘elite force’ etc. I would seriously love to shoot a reality show where you take a force of these guys into a real war, or even just a street fight.
