The open plains

The open plains

I was fortunate enough to spend three nights and four days in Wilpattu, just recently. Malathi organized the trip, and a big thank you to her. We -- Malathi, Diga, Lester, Harin and I- stayed at Manawila, and had a great time.

Maxie and Senevi drove; Deshapriya tracked, and Jagath, Kumar and Indika cooked and cleaned at Manawila.

Lots of photos will be coming through over the next few days, but this one, taken during an early morning drive to Kadirmalai, is my favorite.

Pradeep Jeganathan was born and raised in Colombo, Sri Lanka, where he lives and works. He began to cook when he discovered, as an undergraduate in the US, that MacDonald's was terrible. He continued, when he realized that girls like a guy who knows to cook. After he took up photography as a hobby, he got into shooting food. He has eaten a lot of cold meals since, but he hasn't stopped, because taking a photograph, helps him remember what he's eaten. (He eats a lot, and some times, he forgets). His food photos have been published in a variety of international and Sri Lankan print magazines and web sites and his food photo/recipe columns have appeared Zero77 & Spectrum ("Achcharu") and will soon appear in Ink. He's been a featured chef on ETV's The Home Gourmet, his cooking and food photos have been the subject of a feature article in Sri Lanka's Sunday Times; his food blog has also been featured in Femina.in -- the Indian women's magazine.
