Profile
Chandima’s hometown is Kandy. His interest in photography began whilst at school and this lead him to join the Photography Society of Dharmaraja College, Kandy, where he studied. However, his participation was limited since he was of the opinion that they did not share his interests and views on photography. He aspires to master this art through knowledge gained from the internet, books as well as the guidance of other photographers. His interests in life include listening to music and traveling.
Concept
I am a boarder in Colombo away from home. Most who are employed in Colombo, were born and bred in villages and small towns outside of Colombo, and have come to the city in search of jobs. Once in Colombo, they have a hard time in meeting their basic day-to-day requirements such as food and lodging. My essay focuses on a cluster of people who are boarded at a boarding house which is in the same building where I too am. This place provides only lodging facilities. The boarders need to find their own food. Most of the boarders living here are white collar workers. During the day time, the place is quite deserted, tranquil and quiet. The opposite is true during the night time. The place then fills with voices and sounds of the boarders who have returned to their lodging place after a long and tiring day at work.
