Village women in Padaviya

This mother and two daughters were making roof covering out of coconut palm leaves one morning in Padaviya, northeastern Sri Lanka, in 1998 (during the war years). This was a "border village" at that time.
Camera Zenit, with zoom lens. Fujicolour 100 ASA film.

Friend on the beach

This French girl was sitting alone on the beach at Bentota, her holiday spoilt by rain. Perhaps not all alone. Photo taken maybe in 1995. Fuji neopan 100, Zenit camera with zoom lens.

Car, bicycles and interior

One of my 1980s photos. Shows interior of Dharshani's father's furniture shop at Dalugama. Taken with Orwo 80ASA B & W film. Mir 20mm lens. Hallation from light bulbs due fungus in lens.

Walk in the mist

Dharshani was walking in the mist at Hakgala Botanical Gardens. I think image looks ethereal. Taken on fujicolour negative film with Fed Fb rangefinder camera, Industar standard lens

Sunsets in Mexico








These spectacular sunsets were photographed in Mexico by Marion Dubron, a French  history researcher and painter now living and working there. She has titled them urban landscapes.
