There's a $500 fine for walking on the dunes. But bulldozing them away to build a half million dollar house .... that's OK. I know, it's my fault as much as anyone's, since I keep coming back here year after year and renting the houses they build (though I don't rent the ones that are built in the dunes).
Not one of the several pictures of this series included our entire bodies. They were also all at an angle so I had to rotate the pictures 10-15 degrees. I am literally thinking of putting together a brief presentation on how to take good pictures to also deliver.

“In post war Sri Lanka, the government development plans are underway with the aim of country’s prosperity and betterment of the people. But, most of the development projects which are carried out by the Government are harming the peoples’ lives, one way or the other. Most of them seem are not followed the basic principles of the development, which are adopted by the Government itself.
The reality of development threats to the people’s hereditary inheritance in many areas including, the situations of 14 Islands in Kalpity, large area in East coast including hundreds of acres of land area in Vakarai, Sampor, Panama, Arugambay. And also it will reveal the reality of sea plane landing projects that planning to implement in 20 inland reservoirs, destroying environment and fisheries sector in Parakarama Samudra, Polonnaruwa, Nachchaduwa, Nuwara wewa, reservoirs, in Negombo lagoon, in the name of the tourism industry development. At the same time the natural capital of Sri Lanka, which is Sinharaja world heritage site, Knuckles range, Somawathie, Nilgala forest, etc are also in the verge of destruction due to tourism projects.
In Uva Wellassa, another thousands of acres of land being allocated for sugar cane cultivations as well as for Maize cultivation for bio fuel productions. All these efforts are carried out without any prior, free informed consent of the people. So, there are a lot of tension and difficulties on general public, majority are farmers, agricultural workers, fisher folk communities, workers etc in the country” say the organisers of today’s protest.

In 2014, the U.S. economy added more than 2.7 million jobs. However, the employment rate is the lowest in almost 30 years and low-skilled workers continue to experience poor social and economic outcomes. In 2015, the Workforce Development Working Group will convene leaders from government, business, foundations, and nonprofits to develop cross-sector strategies that equip low-income Americans with the skills needed to ascend today’s emerging career ladders.

We celebrate light in our pictures. Understanding how light interacts with the camera is paramount to the work we do. The temperature, intensity and source of light can wield different photography effect on the same subject or scene; add ISO, aperture and speed, the camera, the lens type, focal length and filters…the combination is varied and multi-layered and if you know how to use them all, you will come to appreciate that all lights are useful, even those surrounded by a lot of darkness.
We are guided by three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, our longing to capture in print, that which is beautiful, the constant search for the one picture, and constant barrage of new equipment and style of photography. These passions, like great winds, have blown us across the globe in search of the one and we do understand the one we do look for might be this picture right here for someone else out there.

Minolta x700, Canon AE-1, failed development. When you learn, you learn! Sharp magenta coloration due to low temperature in development, causing emulsion to not fully degrade.

Hajvery University (HU) Career Development Society (CDS) held an event for the motivation and emotional support of the youth mainly the students of Hajvery University. The event catered to anybody who cared to attend and listen to the wonderful speaker, be it the youth or even a 70 year old could benefit from the pearls of wisdom scattered on that wonderful day. The speaker was Qaiser Abbas. Pakistan’s highest paid motivational speaker and probably a pioneer of what he does in our country. And the author of International Best-seller ‘Tick Tick Dollar’.
The environment was electric and for the first time in a while everybody attending the event was expecting quite nice things to come their way. This was the reason the auditorium was packed. The theme was DREAM BIG AND HAVE BELIEF. His speech was highly motivational he said nobody in your life tells you your potential but always it’s you who should belief in his own potential. That belief led you to dream big one night and bigger the next night. But dreaming was not everything, to back up those dreams; you have to work day and night, tirelessly and ferociously towards his goals. Students energies renewed, their picture about their selves totally changed and changed for the good.
