Raja, a man who has nothing and everything.

Mere's striking portrait of Raja, a vegetable farmer from the Ampara district. He invited us into his house for bananas, tea and Coca Cola (a common drink to offer guests). With his wife and son they live a simple life (without electricity, telephone or car) in a dense but absolutely beautiful part of the East Sri Lankan jungle. Despite facing constant hardship, they were genuinely happy people and it was a very inspiring few hours we spent with them. Thank you Raja.
