Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Yes, it’s plenty of that beautiful white thing around us.

There is lots of fun of course, but to tell the truth I miss my bike allready.

Still – was worth seeing  it.

Before the after

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Hi everybody!

Just short explanation for that strange name I have for this post – all the pictures you’ll see here are taken before the post before.

Some of them are taken even in autumn I think (bad thing is to be late with the pictures – then I start to forget when, where and why all the things happened. Shit)

So, let’s begin with the things that happened befor the after.

before_the_after (1)

That one  I took in October I think.

Just wanted to check it out how that sweet spacey view will look on the film.

before_the_after (14)

One more autumnish view – this time checking out the fog on the film.

before_the_after (2)

Let’s move inside – our beloved CAC café.

Had a cozy chat with Artūras.

before_the_after (3)

before_the_after (4)

People are doing things while talking.

Artūras is pointing mostly.

before_the_after (5)

We started with inside activities – lecture+movie is one of them.

Some preparation.

before_the_after (6)

And here we go.

Strange thing is to see the desktop on that kind of TV.

before_the_after (7)

The view from Dalia’s and Lukas’ flat vindow.

It’s the building of Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra.

They changed their logo like two years ago, but still have the old one on the building.

Latelly it started to fell apart (or they started removing it really slow).

before_the_after (9)

At Kristina’s place.

After having few beers Domas decided to teach Allan to speak Lithuanian.

Sometime he is stubburn as hell.

before_the_after (10)

Kristina + Motiejus.

before_the_after (11)

before_the_after (12)

Same time same place.

before_the_after (16)

Some random shots now.

Karolis took this one.

At his place before starting to watch District 9 – one of must see movies.

before_the_after (15)

The other day we wanted to play curling (it had to be a birthday surprise for Tautvydė), but some guy from lithuanian curling associacion (or something like that) did not arrange it for us.

So what we did was skating on ice.

To tell the truth it was cool – just after skating for an hour or so I remembered that I hat the camera.

So I took this one.

before_the_after (23)

Discussing some projects with Martynas.

before_the_after (8)

Dalia checking some negs.

before_the_after (17)

Some strange jazz concert – the main guy was crazy enough to play with all the thing he found in his surroundings.

before_the_after (18)

Same place, different perspective.

before_the_after (19)

They were eating so expressive I couldn’t hold myself not to picturing them.

before_the_after (20)

Somehow they fit to each other.

before_the_after (21)

Bon appetite!

Don’t miss the other guy’s activity;)

before_the_after (22)

The wonderful house just in front our doors.

before_the_after (25)

Little bit of cleaning…

before_the_after (24)

… and cooking.

before_the_after (26)

Martynas capturing the super thin slice of lemon.

before_the_after (27)

Yeah!

before_the_after (28)

Artūras is pointing while talking…

before_the_after (29)

…and Dalia is showing her hands.

before_the_after (30)

before_the_after (31)

Bad way of heating the wine.

before_the_after (32)

That’s Kaunas and it’s Christmas tree.

before_the_after (33)

We went to the workshop in Juodkrantė and made lunch stop in Kaunas.

before_the_after (34)

London has it’s eye.

And Kaunas does.

before_the_after (35)

Next stop was in Klaipėda.

Fooling arround in supermarket.

before_the_after (36)

It lasted not for to long – shortly after I took this one the security guy came.

before_the_after (37)

Look from driver’s seat.

before_the_after (38)

Dinner.

Yes!

before_the_after (39)

Next day.

Karolis pretends to feel great after yesterday’s evening:)

before_the_after (40)

The aim of the workshop was to design something from the things or materials found on the see shore.

So, we started.

before_the_after (41)

Crew.

before_the_after (42)

When you find something…

before_the_after (43)

… you have to share it with your friends.

before_the_after (44)

Karolis found his way of beeing beautiful.

before_the_after (45)

Next we decided to do was to move the log.

before_the_after (46)

And bring it…

before_the_after (47)

… back to where it belongs.

That’s what Lithuanian designers are doing in workshops.

before_the_after (48)

It was bone or something Paulius found.

before_the_after (49)

Back to the working place.

before_the_after (50)

Creative thinking.

before_the_after (51)

The birth of the second project.

before_the_after (52)

No comments.

before_the_after (53)

Let it be the light.

before_the_after (54)

before_the_after (55)

Ūla – the organizer.

before_the_after (56)

before_the_after (57)

The silent guy – never heard a word from him during the whole week end.

before_the_after (58)

Fashion.

before_the_after (59)

Super stereo.

Made some quick digital shots.
