Sudipta Das, coordinator of TTL told the Dhaka Tribune:“From four thousand photographs, only one hundred have been selected for this exhibition. Now we are more than 4,700 members. The community has utilised social media to the fullest extent, and established a significant presence in the 'real world' by bringing photographers together from across the globe. It has become both a virtual and a physical platform for photographers to share creative ideas. By now, TTL's name has reached all photo enthusiasts of Bangladesh.”
