MammaSanta Deve was born eighty-one years ago in Kandy, Sri Lanka, but her family comes originally from Kerala in South India. She is one of the kindest women I know, both as a person and a photographic subject. She never tells me to hurry because she takes little notice of my dawdling and multiple shots. She was a nurse, speaks three languages and has a wonderful sense of humor which comes through here.She is the matriarch of the four generations of women pictured in the first five photos of this section.  Mamma died peacefully on 1 August 2003 -- if you would like to know more about her, you can take a look at Mamma's Page which will open in a new window. |
