JOURNEY THROUGH THE TEAR DROP ISLAND:
I spent the last 2 weeks of 2009 traveling through SRI LANKA and it was AMAZING.
My good friend Tanuja got married there and crew from NYC and London Town came out and we brought in 2010 together. It is small but very diverse country from the Tea plantations in the mountains, to the rice fields in the Hill country, down to the beautiful beaches on the east coast. With the Canon G-10 & Nikon D-80 riding shotgun I was able to capture some beautiful images from the country.
I met some great people on that side of the world and put my life here in perspective.
As Americans we often don’t realize the opportunities that we have and don’t take advantage of where we are, what we have, and what we able to do.
I took a 4.5 hour CRAMPED train ride to the mountains to a place called Nuwara Eliyah. The kind of train where you fight your way on, get in where you fit in, and make your own space…no seats at ALL. 3RD Class Status. Anyways, I showed a Hindi family how to use a digital camera, which they had never held before. They were SO excited and completely amazed by the technology that is so commonplace to us. I can’t begin to tell how that experience effected me.
CHERISH what YOU HAVE. GO after what YOU WANT. GIVE back UNSELFISHLY.
