Today's junk is tomorrow's archaeology. I have collected a vast amount of things, ranging from books, newspaper cuttings, catalogues, my own photographs, picture postcards, stamps and advertising material to old cameras, radios and items salvaged from junk sales and shops. It's pure nostalgia and a fascination with things past. My purpose is not profit but to render a pleasurable service! Dedicated to my mother, who taught me hobbies,love and perseverance.

Tsunami pictures
I took this picture of the south-bound 'tsunami train' a week after the catastrophe. The train is back in service now (though at least one carriage is still in the sea) and there was talk of creating a museum at the disaster site. But this being Sri Lanka, it never happened. Most people have no time for yesterday's disasters, they live in fear of what tomorrow might bring...and the 'authorities' are absolutely callous in this regard.
