That moved his sister-in-law and Bangladesh's first professional female photographer Sayeda Khanam to tears.
The exhibition at Dhaka's Bays Gallery is taking place to celebrate the eighth anniversary of bdnews24.com, Bangladesh's first internet newspaper.
Professor Salahuddin died last Sunday at the age of 93, forcing bdnews24.com to change plans.
The exhibition titled ‘Capturing Bangladesh' was inaugurated by Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali.
On the occasion, bdnews24.com’s special photo website click.bdnews24.com was inaugurated by Khanam.
As a mark of respect to the renowned historian and humanist, several of his pictures were put up in a corner in the exhibition called ‘AF Salahuddin Ahmed Corner’.
A minute’s silence was observed at the beginning of the exhibition in a mark of respect to his memory.
Editor-in-Chief of bdnews24.com Toufique Imrose Khalidi said they wanted to remember the colourful life of the man who was “so clean, so committed to his work”, not to grieve him.
