Finally I uploaded the first results of the work of our "Photo Kids". These photos were taken when the boys first got their cameras. They "shot" everything they could find. But for me it was pretty surprising to see what they came up with and some of the results are quite impressive. Keeping in mind that most of them never used a camera before. I think it is a very good base. Have a look for yourself.
The idea of this small project is to give the children of Tellwatte the opportunity to develop their own artistic style by using the means of photography. We hope they will be able to see the good sides of life and happiness in a country that has been splitted by war for over 25 years. Most of the kids were /are effected by the tsunami of 2004 and are not given the chance to work on the psychological issues they might have. Of course we will not be able to solve all their problems but we will try to make them happy for as much time as we can with the means we have in photography. If you want to help us to achieve that goal please contact us at:
