I’m back after more then a half a year.

Somehow do not feel like shooting on film anymore – have bunch of developed rolls that I did not not even scan yet.

Maybe some day I’ll do this.

“And now to something completely different” as it would sound in Monty Python’s flying circus.

Got myself a small digi point and shoot and will try to be way more productive than before.

First one here.

Lady in the lake near Trakai.

I’m starting with the last post this year.

Would like to make a year 2010 selection and hope to share it with you next week.

Let’s start with bunch of pics from last few weeks.

Fell in love with direct flash light – here are the first series.

Kamazas and Artūras playing table football.

Like the poster in a background.

This light makes such a drama out of everything.

Two “D” chatting.

Inside Kablys – an old desorted theater.

Columnes and people.

Outside CAC. They were shooting music video.

Domas – the locker-room guy.

Happy one.

Oh, this one is from TV tower.

And this one to.

Dog seeking the ball.

At Sla’s place.

Simas and plants.

Agnė listening…

…tasting…

…and laughing.

Allan fooling around.

Lukas doing the same.

Focus and composition was a total guess here – it was completely dark.

Skomantas – the bartender.

Random – think it’s the same evening.

Preparation number one.

This was the first shooting Dalia did.

No flash here.

Christmas.

This was oval birthday.

Somebody covered the flash beautifuly.

Trying Allan’s hat.

Preparation number two.

Dalia’s shooting number two. Will be on the web soon.

The images from Yashica are so soft all the time.

It’s on sale btw.

Process.

Kamazas showing how his knee operation was made.

Domas and a dirty mirror.

Jurga and Martynas at Gorky bar.

Katrė.

Like the smoke in the pictures.

Party went kind of a wild.

No comments.

Snow in our balcony.

Mother and a daughter number two.

At Simas’ and Skaistė’s place.

That’s all.

Have fun and don’t get cold.

Cheers!

It was Dalia’s sister’s birthday last weekend. And it took place at Vilnius tv tower.

Few pics for you to take a look how it was.

Love the smoke when it’s freezing outside.

Dalia’s shadow

(as Dangiras said – she looks as an italian coffee-pot here)

Grandmothers chatting.

Just after the sunset.

Love the car tracks in this one.

_____________________________________________________

All the pics taken with Yashica D + yashinon 80mm/3.5 + Kodak Portra 160NC + Kodak Tmax100 (last one)

Cheers!

Hello everyone!

If you thought I was dead, I wasn’t. And if you thought I forgot my log in or psw that’s also not true.

Was doing this and that and shooting a bit.

Since I was shooting A BIT this post will be the last in the style I was used to post it.

I’ll try to make it in a bit different way. But you’ll see it next time.

And now a bunch of pics starting from the end of the summer.

Guys playing pétanque in the woods

This was Sla’s birthday (it means, the shot was made on 28th of August – damn I’m lazy with shooting)

The other one.

Poja ready for a long trip to Nida.

Guys decided they look way taller when doing this.

And asked me for a shot.

We went to Nida to take part at Sandra’s and Vaidas’s wedding.

I made some shots there – this one is my favorite.

And this one – the second favorite one.

Next day we took a boat trip.

Partying.

Same place, different format.

Poja – the romantic one.

A book about Lithuanian photography.

Dominyka’s birthday.

The guy in the manhole talking the mobile.

We were building a pinhole.

Some improvised details.

Checking the lightflow.

Result.

We were organizing Vilnius CO2 Green Drive.

Domas few days before the event.

Looking happy.

Three happy guys in front of the computer.

Two more happy faces.

Working long hours can be harmful.

Preparation for Ku’s birthday.

Took a look down.

This is Lukiškės prison in case somebody does not know and how does it look from more or less inside.

Here comes the fun with the birthday child in the middle.

Signing the books.

Mind the fingers – the pen has to be happy not be crashed.

Have to say was surprised seeing Ku’s paintings.

Nice to be surprised in that kind of way.

The girls and the cakes.

The stolen picture.

Checked Druskininkai for a few days.

Sign for a fast people.

Construction work upstairs.

Lukas in the (red) lamp light.

Sexy bottle.

Took a trolleybus.

(have to confess it does not happen very often)

Went to visit my grandma.

On the way to the shop.

Sis.

Dinner.

Sis in front of the dining-table.

Grandma and a wooden calf.

It’s weird how the hands and the carved wood looks so similar.

Back to Vilnius.

From the back seat of ones car – do have possibility to take pictures from there wery seldom.

Dalia’s sister having tea.

Kid on the bike.

On of the most beautiful terraces in Vilnius.

Autumn lunch outside.

Karolis joined us to.

Some party pictures from CAC café.

Mostly with Dalia’s flash.

Like the expressions – they look so unexpectedly cought.

Dangis and his fake adidas.

What a face!

Ryklys’ hands.

Guess who.

Dalia and duke Vilgaudas.

Duke Vilgaudas writing a sonnet.

____________________________________________________

Here I end up my messy post and hope to meet you way faster then before.

Thanks and cheers!

Just few weeks passed by and here I am again!

Some shots from the time.

‘nJOY!

Some flat lake near Vievis.

Games.

I lost all the times.

Damn that.

Same week different lake.

Happy sis.

Hiding.

Here I grabbed Dalia’s Leica and took this one.

On-the-water-lesson.

The series with one glass.

Just after the swim.

Mini-guy Ku and his injured leg just in front of the hospital.

(I saw the x-rays and decided he got a bone split – this was the time I was happy to be wrong)

Kultflux.

And a wine.

Took this one while discussing the details of Contraforma’s commission.

Bar in Vilnius’ airport.

Leaving to London.

Plain was late as usual.

But this time it was weird since the pilot decided to explain how some things on the plain do not function and how they will be fixed according to Boing’s manual.

Good to have a manual.

Arrived.

The hospitable hosts – Giedrė and Aidan giving us lots of London-hints.

London A to Z – the book  I carried all the time in my pocket (needed a huge one).

Going out.

Tube escalator – they travel on the left side everywhere.

Needed time to get used to this.

Classics.

At tate modern.

What a HUGE space.

Same place.

Light was HUGE to.

Just outside tate.

Two girls facing the wall while eating.

Just focused on them and then suddenly got this peace sign.

Compared to NYC felt so noticeable in London.

Lithuanian?

Tate again.

Britain this time.

See Dalia’s picture here.

Was searching for Francis Bacon and his popes.

Found just Crucifiction series.

But still happy about that – was curious to see it since I studied in academy.

Saw this and remembered adventures with the pigeons at our balcony.

Damn!

Small talking series while eating in China town.

Tourists.

Were crossing the park.

Could somebody explain why the word pelican is capitalized?

Saw this and got a flashback of NYC

(It’s not the first time I caught myself comparing London to NYC – can’t explain why)

Rain.

Just took this one and it ended (somehow was expecting to get wet more often).

Could not resist taking this one.

He used it as a megaphone – was singing into it.

At the pub.

We took a walk to the place we stayed at.

Was surprised to see these empty streets.

Morning coffee+cake

And the view in front of us.

We took a walk by the canal.

Was surprised to hear, that people are living in these boats – it has to be hell cold there during wintertime.

In Victoria and Albert museum.

Same place just after the rain.

Random.

One of the flea markets we visited on sunday.

Same place.

This one is about coicidence in photography.

And this is my favorite!

Dalia browsing the LPs.

London is not just for museums but for music stores too.

Discovering shopping results.

Took a bit longer walk by the canal.

Fully packed.

We passed this place like five times.

Finally I decided to capture him.

Outside one of the pub…

(Here I felt noticable again)

… and inside the pub.

Modern electrical system.

(posting both because can not decide which I like better)

English.

Giraffe with diamond hoofs.

Few about surveillance.

Same place, different angle.

In NYC I made some mobile communication series.

The men in suits were the series I made in London

(these are smaller as the amount of time I spent in GB)

This guy was so surprised I was capturing him, that he looked behind him four or five times.

(this one goes into I-was-spoted series too)

This time I was waiting till he turns at gives me a look.

Just outside the Photographers Gallery.

Saw the great exhibition of Sally Mann.

The balance is way better with a suit.

Almost symmetry.

This one is about gentlemens.

(taken from double decker)

Just before leaving to airport we spent some time in City.

Not enought that’s for sure.

A hip shot.

It was cloudy all the days and I was shooting on tri-x almost all the time. And then suddenly this sunlight.

On the other hand it’s not so bad – it’s possible to take pictures like this one – f22, 1/125.

Leaving that beautiful light.

Last glass of London Pride and last sunrays in London.

Cheers!

Hi all after a hell long time.

Have to admit, felt a bit strange shooting back home after all these views in NYC.

It could be the reason why it took so long to this post.

And maybe it is the reason why this post will be randomish as hell.

With one happy event in the end;)

GO!

In one of the most beautiful terraces in Vilnius spent some time there reading.

Got this damn bronchitis so had to forget the swimming and bike riding for almost a month.

Happy can do this again. Yeah!

Random.

Katrė in front of the pond.

Hangovered morning.

At the seaside.

Don’t think it’s necessary to translate.

I’m always surprised what people are ready for to gain some money.

Even drive this weird vehicle to sell some snacks.

Almost in the water.

In Klaipėda.

Have to admit it sounds way better in lithuanian than when translated.

Somewhere in Klaipėda.

Looking for a place to eat.

Back to Vilnius.

Had to go to clinic.

“The key from emergency exit is on the ground floor in registry.”

This note is on the fourth floor.

No comments.

Same clinic some other detail.

Ūla + present we brought from NYC – a Golden Half camera.

More on Dalia’s blog.

It was three birthdays if I remember it correctly.

Went to take a look at the nuclear power-station that is closed allready.

What a strange feeling with all this emptiness arround.

And signs with russian letters.

There are some lithuanian though.

Home again.

Reading in the balcony.

For lithuanian speakers.

World cup.

Holland fans.

What a combination in Dangiras’ hands.

(it was my birthday I think)

And here comes the fun.

In front of the place we were celebrating T and A wedding.

The wedding planning commitee.

We took it very seriuos.

Especially Kamazas.

Sla showing…

…the place where Allan’s bachelor party has to begin.

The square ones are taken with Yashica D btw.

Tasting LT beer.

We had some strange sorts for Allan and his friends to try.

Staff waiting.

START.

The light was perfect there.

Did some series.

Will not comment just take a look.

I tried to capture that guy in the balcony a couple of times but somehow he ran away as he saw the camera (you can see him in the picture before this one).

Suddenly he came out with that picture and asked me to capture him.

Changing the location.

Writing the song that is to be recorded in Simas’ studio.

Domas was so excited about all this music thing.

And here it goes.

(I’m so happy I took Yashica with me)

Some advices…

…and here it goes again.

Some backing.

And some post producting.

It’s about being proud.

And this one is about the big day.

Congrats!

Guests.

Dangiras – the day DJ

Dangiras – the night DJ.

Next morning.

The sun-glasses that’s what important after the party.

And some refreshment with gaiva.

What a bussines guy.

What a non-bussines guy.

What can I tell – a fake.

And then we went to the lake.

Ready, set…

GO!

Some other day some other lake.

That’s what happens as often as possible.

Don’t get boiled!

And cheers!

I’m ready with the part two and bunch of classic b&w pics.

While beeing in NYC it was impossible to me not to mention all these texting-or-doing-something-with-their-mobiles-people.

So, I did some series.

Take a look.

“Mine is better, you see.”

Mind the shoes.

This italian guy wins the comunicating-on-the-street competition.

Smoking a cigar while talking skype with his laptop in a park.

Back to story-telling.

96th was our station.

In a subway.

I wonder when LT freelancers will have that kind of union with that kind of  initiatives.

Nice logo btw.

And sorry for that awful framing.

This one is so cityish.

(and I do not miss the focus)

100% NYC

I wonder what kind of heat has it to be to steam when it’s +25C outside.

No comments.

These girls where so loud while making the candyfloss themselfes.

Then they asked me to take a picture of them and I droped their pocket camera.

I’ m happy, that all I had to do to make it function again was to put the battery back.

Uff…

Subway and helvetica again.

The guy behind the pillar was not so happy about me taking the pic.

That was so funny that Dalia was sleeping in subway all the time.

All she had to do was to step in and to sit down.

Central Park.

Searching for Jogaila monument for Dangis.

Sorry for the postcar view, but the buildings, the pond with the boats

and the guy with the tripod made me to take this one.

Streets again.

This was a cozy place not far away from the place we lived.

It’s America, man.

What a surfaces and what a light!

(this time scanner did well – even the Chrysler is visible)

Close-up with 35mm is not so beautiful for a girl’s face.

Usually.

But not this time;)

Dalia’s new toy.

Unfortunately it’s back to Adorama ‘cuz of the transport failure.

Hopefully they’ll fix it.

Times square.

We were passing this place way to often.

Long live the designer of that t-shirt:)

I thought the “Y” is on the back side, but it isn’t:)

I do not know a shit about fashion, and maybe it’s a really cool brand, but you have to be radio dj to pronounce that at the first time.

You have B&H photo video and you have this:)

On the way to see the ocean.

It was a bit different from the beaches we were used to.

(this could go to the comunicating-on-the-street series, but it fits better here I think)

All the people were so different from these in Manhattan.

No comments again.

Mexican restaurant on the way back in Brooklyn.

Just before the LCD Soundsystem concert.

It was an hour late, so we took a walk.

And found a park in front of the river.

These bike drivers were so fast I had to wait for couple of minutes to cross the road.

Waiting.

Murphy rocks.

I know, that it’s strange to take pictures during the concert and even during that kind of concert, but I could not resist.

And do not regret that.

That’s weird.

Subway.

What a hell is rodenticide?

It’s not good for rats that’s for sure.

‘No drugs on premises after dusk or 7:00 P.M which ever comes first.’

Dalia+book.

Everywhere.

A fast subway.

Not far away from the UN.

I know, that this one could have  been different – more classical – the guy with the trolley more right, the lines horizontal.

But I like it the way it is – it’s more live, more of the moment.

Making post cards again…

…and again.

Like the hands.

The girls were waiting for me quite often – everything was too b&w arround me.

I just do not understand – how can you like to sit on that kind of mad horse?

(it looks like screensaver with that url at the bottom right btw)

It looked like a toy.

Dalia conquering the Smena.

This park under the bridge had perfect grass and the view was nice.

Just one thing I can not understand – how these people do not react to that deafening subway noise.

At Cooper Hewitt.

X-large.

Light!

They are writing everywhere and everything.

Like the emergency evacuation one.

“Good stuff”

Guys singing in front of the Metropolitan museum.

Had some good time while waiting for girls to come out.

In china town again.

This guy saw me taking the picture and I felt like he was posing.

Or just did not give a shit about me.

Some shots one has to take when one’s in nyc.

Just do not understand why to put that kind of sign?

Not to get ones feet wet?

In Williamsburg.

In front of our favorite place.

The guy beside us.

(also fits to the comunicating-on-the-street series, but this one’s more about the beer)

The last day.

In Williamsburg Dalia taking picture…

… of Manhattan.

On the way back.

And what about surprise-birthday-party?

On the door of the place we lived in.

Leaving to JFK.

I was to weak to carry all the luggage so we took a cab.

Snacks before the flight.

Delicious KFC burger.

Safety instructions on the screen.

Funny animation.

Was sleeping a bit.

Then woke up, took this one and fell asleep again.

Travelling back was way better.

Kiev.

Took this one and the soldier stoped me from taking others.

The view that describes the Kiev airport perfectly.

Plane to Vilnius.

I think this is what they call fluffy clouds.

and

Kodak plus-x 125

After a bit of a time I’m back.

This time with bunch of pics from New York.

Since it’s realy a bunch, I’m dividing it into two parts.

This is the first one, the second should come up in few weeks.

Enjoy!

We were flying from Riga.

Had to come to Riga’s airport in the evening and to leave in the morning.

The still-life we found just in front of the entrance.

In front of this entrance.

We found an area covered in wood and decided to rest there a bit.

Martynas – the perfect example of beeing able to sleep wherever he wants.

Me and my sis we are not so good at sleeping in some strange places, so we took a look at the airport from outside.

(f2, 1/4th iso 100 I think)

The dawn in the airport.

Feeling a bit strange already.

But just a bit. Yet.

On the way to Kiev.

Ignas was the guy from LT flying with us to N.Y.

And even to the same exhibition centre as we did.

Kiev.

The weather outside was so damn summerish and we had to stay inside that strange building.

So, we went to the bar.

That time was really dizzy.

In the plain.

Finally.

It took 12 hours to go to N.Y. (because of the Iceland ash cloud we had to go from Kiev through Norway, Greenland and Canada).

And 10 of these hours was daytime.

This sleep lack allmost killed me.

New York!

I allmost do not remember taking this one – in more than 36 hours I had less than 3 hours of sleep.

After a strange sleep we went out.

Up was the direction we were looking at.

All that town is so damn black and white.

So black and white and so fond of helvetica.

The map is the thing you have to have in the place you don’t know.

Sometimes it’s the problem to understand that thing.

Mind Martynas’ smart face.

It’s still smart.

All three I shot in the sequence it is shown.

Somehow I like this crop illusion that appears looking in all of them.

People looking at Ground Zero.

To tell the trouth only when I saw that place I understood what actually happened there.

That’s the place we went afterwards.

Chinese guy hiding his face.

A bit different surroundings here.

We were still looking up.

Again a tribute to helvetica.

We were living on west 92nd so, had perfect surroundings.

A view from the terrace.

And then we took a walk.

It was really strange to see all the things we used to see in the movies.

Cabs and water towers.

What a tourists.

Lincoln square.

The girls trying to take some pics of fountain.

Do not remember if they succeeded.

This one is about the traffic-light and still about looking up.

Shortly entered the central park.

What a light!

It’s America, man.

Never saw that kind of light anywhere else.

It looked like that truck was put on the stage.

That’s a busy town New York.

Came home shortly.

Martynas exploring the roof.

That was a really cool place we stayed at.

Thanks, Monica!

It’s Williamsburg.

These girls really enjoy synchro shooting.

Found a place to eat.

The evening light was so soft there.

A bit different place compared to Manhattan a?

That was the main thing I really loved about New York – you for sure will find a place you like.

Cheers!

We changed the bar.

The note on the doors tells everything.

It became our favorite place.

The aim to go to N.Y. was to participate at Designboom mart.

It took place during ICFF at Jacob K. Javits Convention Centre.

Beautiful building.

And also so black and white.

Martynas and John – the funny guy – testing some paper furniture.

Leaving the center.

Decided to have some meal.

Do not know the story – just turn around and saw this.

This one is about contrast.

Kodak plus x btw – best film I’ve ever tried.

In the bus.

Martynas -  the face man.

John – the face man to.

Steve – the painter.

Since he’s native NewYorker he’s the guide.

Where else could you get that type of sunlight?

Cheking out the Steve’s portfolio.

You can view it here.

Later that night.

I’m curious how long does it take to read all that information.

The other day on the way to the mart.

Lunch.

If I remember it right, the place was called blind pig.

In Tribeca.

Were browsing for some place to spend evening.

Were thinking about visiting this place but somehow it did not work out.

Then we came home and found bbq party there.

Monica – the hospitable hostess.

Going somewhere.

Martynas making fun of us taking pictures all the time.

Cool place in Williamsburg.

On the way home on w92nd.

In the bus.

I already wrote, that when it’s written not to do something it is the sign, that people like to do that.

The place where the girls were drinking refill coffee for three hours.

MoMA yard.

Visitet the exhibition of Henri Cartier-Bresson.

MoMA yard again.

On 5th avenue.

‘Open to the public’ made me laugh.

The angry twins.

All these parking places are enlighted as they would like to sell all the cars inside.

The end of the part one.

Hope you liked it.

Wait for the second one;)

Cheers!

Aha!

Hi to everybody!

It’s been quite a time I’ve posted something.

That’s why I have a bit more pictures to show.

Everything is spinning around so fast lately – that somehow makes all the things better than they are.

Start!

One of the million Oval meeting we have lately.

Writing down some taglines.

It’s actually really strange, when you understand that one or the other of your old friends have some skils you never knew they have

(meaning Domas’ ability making estimates or smth similar:)

Last snow we had.

(think it’s the end of april – can be wrong)

And then the flood begun.

It’s beautiful what a power the water has.

Furniture fair.

Business talks.

Sun. Finally.

Random.

They hang the flowers on the wall later.

Drop.

Kristina’s birthday.

(1/4th if I remember it right)

Rimas Morkūnas.

That guy looked so much happier comparing to the last time I saw him.

They figured out that Domas’ father and Rimas used to play in one band in university.

They listening to their beloved piece.

Somehow all the talkings in that house become so sentimental every time.

Sla, come home!

Wow!

I switched to color for some time.

Found some basic color film in the fridge and decided to check it out.

First try at Karolis’ place just before the screening.

Fancy pancy.

Artūras – the author of the post name.

It describes the mood of the last month so damn right.

Cheers man!

It’s Domas’ birthday.

Can somebody tell me why they all decided to be born on the same month???

Was cold actually.

Do not remember the story.

Looks like movie still.

Chatting.

It’s Reala already.

So yellowish.

Can’t tell I really like these color pictures.

But since I was a bit spring mad – it seemed to me that the color film is what I need.

Beer in the pocket.

Sounds strange.

Domas got an assignment.

Took a closer look.

Second part of the task.

Like the way these two are helping.

Poor guy.

Marshmallows.

Strange.

Martynas playing Domas.

Fire keepers.

Fire lovers.

Random shot from the country side.

My grandmothers dog.

What a friendly fellow.

Finally the end of the colour.

Antanas birthday.

We decided to go to the TV tower restaurant and to have a look at our lovely city.

And then we got the fog.

Adore the tones.

Some national stuff.

I loved the structures here.

Leaving.

What a light.

The shoe in the garage.

Paulius had to build a model of the new Nike Mercurial for the presentation.

Take a look at some moments.

Paulius demonstrating why he can not work with the protecting glasses on.

You can hurt your self badly with that kind of sight problems.

Same place different task.

Building a present for Karolis.

Some electrical problems.

Let there be the light.

Finished!

Proud guys.

While we were sitting in the basement, there was a beautiful spring outside.

These two were standing in the same place for two or more hours.

Evening light.

Karolis’ birthday.

Actually it’s the morning after the birthday.

Reminds me this one.

Bicycling again!

Spring at CAC.

Got a new hair-cut.

And yes it reminds this one.

Had a party at our’s.

The view from the balcony.

Just before Ūla’s singing lesson.

They have to run before starting.

We had a lunch after that in a strange chinese restaurant.

Really strange place.

Family.

In the opera house.

Brake.

Foodie.

Kėdainiai.

We were going to Šiauliai and stoped in Kėdainiai.

Still can not understand how they managed to build it like that.

The place we had coffee.

Mind the flags.

It sais:

” Thanks for not throwing the toilet paper into urinal! Thank you.”

These kind of notes describes the people that are entering the place pretty well.

Manor whe stopped at on the way.

Sad that all these places are so unkept.

Still-life at home.

First sitting-on-the-grass-having-drinks evening this year.

Martynas passed by.

Yeah!

Hope you liked it.

Have fun as usual, but differently.

Since this winter was so hell of a snow time, we gave much of attention to it.

In the moment I’m writing we have just very few leftovers of that white thing outside (hopefully, it will stay like that)

Take a look what we had for last weeks.

Shot as usual on Nikon FE+tri-x and the square ones are from Yashica D + 160NC

Enjoy!

The other day in a park.

We had such a soft light.

My point of view.

Having wine.

Sometimes it happens to be to close, but it doesn’t disturb me at this one.

On the way home.

F2/, 1/4th iso400 if I remember that corectly.

At Karolis’ place.

Julius getting ready for a movie.

Dangiras, the teacher.

Was shooting for Oval and the article about his dance lessons.

Made some analogs as well.

On the way to Kaunas.

Was hell of a freezing day.

At Dalia’s grandparents place.

It’s important the sign and how the the cars are parked.

And it’s important, that the signs are  hand-made (sometimes the people are so strange:).

Dalia’s talkings.

The example of a city planning.

First they build the monument, enlight it and then – the palace.

Nobody is interested in changing the lights.

The result – shadow theatre.

And this – in the centre of a capital.

Visited Gariūnai – the bigest market area near Vilnius.

View to thermo power-station.

(’11th row’ it sais on a stick)

Martynas’ preparation to designboom markt in Stockholm.

Mind the t-shirt.

Visiting Skirmis and Eglė.

Good-mood-Poja-face.

No comments.

This is again the case I do not miss the focus.

Justė – the head of  “Paper Bar” in Hotel of Things.

Love the way they prepare the coffe (feels like home;)

Professional way to check the wine quality.

Home sweet home.

In Užutrakis (the same place we love visiting in summer)

Allan running on the frozen lake.

Ready-to-shoot-girl.

Photo lessons…

… attract people.

Fooling around.

Some wine-talkings in wonderfull CAC light.

Argue in Oval meeting.

Dangiras’ opinion.

‘Attention: we recognize unknown cars very quickly’

At Café de Paris.

They had this wonderfull smoke, light and music.

Am I wrong about the light?

The balcony of Lithanian Opera and Ballet Theatre – it’s been ages since the last time I was watching the performance from that place.

We had a classic b&w view.

At Paulius’ place.

Together with Martynas working on a jewellery project.

Accurate hands.

The bigger part of the evening Paulius spent drawing contour maps for his studies.

Poor guy.

The gear.

At CAC.

Just before leaving to Paulius’ homestad.

I understood I missed that camera so much.

Arrived.

Since it was lots of snow we had to leave our cars and to have a 10 min. walk  till we reached our destination.

And that’s what we found.

The real country side life.

Mixed town-country still-life.

What a clever guy Martynas is.

(it’s good when the shoes do not stink)

We decided to have a look around just before the dusk.

First when I saw this it was a pitty not to have a Yashica loaded with Kodak 160 nc there.

But now I like it on b&w even better.

That was Martynas birthday we where celebrating.

That was strange to have that white tablecloth and the candles in that old country side house.

Domas reading the lockal newspaper.

To browse through the commercials in these small newspapers is quite a funny way of spending time.

Morning.

Karolis – the samurai.

Or the palm-head (witch one is better for you)

It was such a perfect sun so we spent quite a time outside.

What a happy face.

This one describes the mood of the time we had there perfectly.

The other evening.

We had a great old stove and prepared delicious hotpot in it.

That kind of the pot I saw just on TV before visiting Paulius’ homestead.

Romantics with the bear cans.

We even had a TV screening.

Back to color.

All the days were perfectly warm (in the context of an early March of course).

Martynas decided to let some air in to the frozen pond.

Using the last opportunity to have fun on the snow.

Paulius’ try.

(It’s important to cover the face in case you get snow attack.)

After our training in the houmstead’s yard we decided to search for higher mountains.

GO!

(To tell the truth, just by a hair I was not hit by Dalia when taking this one)

Happy watchers.

Getting ready.

Samurai on a snowboard.

Karolis tried that kind of hill landing to.

Just before leaving – the guys were going out fishing.

Country-side-fishermen-from-the-town-fashion.
