Description
"Usually, it takes me just a minute or two to take a photograph, quick snaps that later become finished images through digital processing. But this one was different. It was taken several years ago in Colombo when I saw a young couple sitting on a bench on the seafront. They had noticed me observing them, so I asked if I could take their picture. The young man readily agreed, leaning back with relaxed confidence as he looked into the lens, almost like a professional model. The young woman, by contrast, appeared slightly shy, as if unaccustomed to such attention. In Sri Lanka, even the younger generations remain deeply connected to tradition. The Western concept of “casual dating” scarcely exists here, and when it does, it's rarely displayed publicly. This naturally leads to the question: Are they married now? The likelihood is high. They may even have children by now."
