Here are the first 14 images from my excursion to the last natives of Sri Lanka, the Vedda people, in March 2010.
These images will most probably not make it into my upcoming Vedda photo-synopsis, on which I work heavily in parallel (splendid advertising for my pictures, right?).
Anyway, I think they are still worth to be presented.
