Hi everyone. I'm Alexander Dahlstrøm Winger, but people just call me Winger!

I am 20 years old, and I was born and raised in Oslo, but when I was 12, I moved to the little town of Tvedestrand (6000 citizens), in the southern part of Norway.

My main focus in life is track & field (athletics) and my second focus in life is studying and taking photographs. I'm working as a writing journalist for a national (internet-based) newspaper, and I'm a freelance photographer and journalist working for two local newspapers in the area where I am from. I'm really enjoying my life right now.

I'm very excited to come to Bangladesh, and learn about an extremely different culture, but at the same time it's quite scaring. My main concern going to Bangladesh isn't the new culture, but not having the opportunity to practice my sport! J But I hope I find some facilities to do that. (With a little help from you guys)

My style has changed much since I took my first photographs in 2006. Studying photojournalism in Oslo has learned me much about documentary photography. Here are some pictures (non documentary) I have taken: http://foto.no/cgi-bin/bruker/minside.cgi?brukerid=54989

My Facebook-profile (many photo albums there): http://www.facebook.com/alexander.winger

There are many things I want to document through my lenses. Here are some of them:

Sports in Bangladesh:

· How is it like to be a top-level athlete in Bangladesh?

· Make a series of photos of different sports in Bangladesh

· Cricket, hockey, track & field, volleyball, handball, carom, wrestling, weightlifting

I want to get in touch with Mohamed Abu Abdullah (Born March, 1981) Beauty Nazum Nahar (January 1, 1984), Mohammad Hossain (January 5, 1984), Doli Akthar (January 15, 1986), Mohammed Rana (April 2, 1983) CAN YOU HELP ME?

Textile fabrics

· Bangladesh is a growing textile economy. The industry employs nearly 4 million people, mostly women. 78 percent of the country's export earnings come from textiles and apparel

Sink/drain problems in Dhaka.

· Dhaka - one of the largest cities in the world – is also one of the cities that have the biggest problems according to sinking/draining. How can I document this? How can I make a good story out of this?

Music in Bangladesh

· What kind of music instruments do Bangladeshi people play on? Make an short photo story on this.
