Lagging behind time

The photos represents the simple yet content life lived by a farming family in the rural areas of Sri Lanka. Their lives lag behind in time, with no electricity, piped water or machinery. The nearest village has to be accessed through 5km of thick forest where elephant attacks are not a rarity. The children have little heard of schools. They live in tree houses/ "sky houses" to be guarded by elephant trouble. A midst all this they live happy.

I am a young doctor from the wonderful island of Sri Lanka. I didn't have the opportunity to get my hands on a camera before the age of 25. Ever since, I wanted to buy a DSLR but it took me ages to find that kind of money, and now finally I own a Canon 550D. Photography is my passion and greatest desire. I'd die for it. I'd give up my medical profession for it. Its as if I was born to photograph things. I find my time amidst a busy schedule at the wards but for an opportunity like this, no one could stop me if I am chosen. Thank you for giving us hope.
