Chris Hondros, a New York-based photographer for Getty Images, was killed by a rocket-propelled grenade in Misrata, Libya today. Hondros, 41, has covered conflict zones since the late 1990s including Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan, and his work has appeared in major magazines and newspapers around the world. His awards include World Press Photo honors and the Robert Capa Gold Medal, one of the highest prizes in war photography.

 It was reported on April 20, 2011, that Hondros had been gravely wounded in an RPG attack by government forces in Misrata while covering the 2011 Libyan uprising. Photojournalist Tim Hetherington was killed in the attack, which wounded two other photographers. According to The New York Times, Hondros died from his injuries as a result of severe brain trauma.

TEA!!! Not a strange word to our society. But what really amazes me is the traditions and the life styles which is bound by it. A cup of tea is a part of our day to day life and without it the day seems so empty. For many the day does not start without a cup of tea. It’s like tea has its own mystic way of waking up to a new day. There are many other beverages which we consume and what can you really match up to TEA!?

I present this photo which I captured at Udu dumbara in Kandy for the love of tea. And for the love of people who strive hard to make a decent living. And for their dreams and ambitions.
