I want to be a photographer.
I upgraded my Flickr account to “PRO” the other day. I am still miles lightyears away from pro status in terms of actual skill but the “PRO” account allows me to upload to my heart’s content a.k.a. upload every photo I have ever taken since birth. Three years ago today, I was in Sri Lanka building houses after the tsunami. I found a couple discs of photos from my time there and picked a few to throw up on here.

This man is Karuna, he ran the little surfers’ hotel we lived in for a month.

Beautiful parade through Hikkaduwa.

Some of the children left without homes after the tsunami.

A single wall left standing.

Elaborately painted walls of an amazing Buddhist temple.

Snoop.

The birds in Sri Lanka are enormous.

I really miss that place. If you’re into travelling make sure you add Sri Lanka to your list, I’d go back just for the food. Please leave a link to your own Flickr account in the comments if you’re also into shooting photos! I love to meet people who are into this stuff.

Crazy. Care to share some of the specs (camera, etc.)?
On that trip all I had was a crappy Canon A70 point & shoot (almost fully manual except no bulb setting) and my Holga.
Nice photos.. perfectly timeless.
I really love the old school feel and I hope to visit Sir Lanka someday..
Great Shots! I love the one with children. It’s amazing how happy they look after everything they’ve been through.
