Shooting for peace

With such a camera friendly population and jaw dropping surroundings, Meredith's camera shutter has been been purring for weeks. Already racking up many Gigs of memory, she's been shooting for the UN, as well as, at any given opportunity, showing her stunned and flattered subjects their instant digital image at the back of her camera. Their personal and honest reactions are almost as worthwhile as having the beautiful scenes documented for later.

Here are a few recent ones:


Energetic kids at a Tsunami housing project site.


Big group of boys demonstrating fearless water games.


Road side goat farmer at dusk.


Crazy crazy crazy colourful bus decals.


Friendly Arugam Bay fishermen. The ten of them hadn't caught one fish in a month.


Deep valleys offer ample opportunity for spirituality.


Playgrounds are excellent ways for dealing with traumatic memories.
