National Election Campaign 2008
I discovered National Election campaign with Awami League President Sheikeh Hasina East part of Bangladesh (present Prime Minister of Bangladesh). I think it was really the hard time to cover election campaign. Taking picture after edit them, caption them, get them to upload and than transmit. I think it’s a good experience. This situation is more important to meet the time line.
