“As If On Sundays”  is my first exibition of photograhs that include my silent daily encounters with people in Lithuanian streets. Lithuanian people attract me with their serene, rigid, solemn and lonely features. They blend into a graceful architecture of the city as well as into shabby outskirts creating the impression of the timeless look in my mind. I see them deeply lost in their thoughts and enclosed into their inner world. I am lucky to get those beautiful and peaceful faces, impressive eyes and modest smiles. People that I photograph roam the streets and courtyards by themselves, alone, trapped  into their oblivious world as if met on quiet Sunday mornings.

15th January, 1933 Petras Babickas, Steponas Kolupaila, Kazys Laucius, Adomas Varnas and few others established  The Amateur Photographers Union. This year we celebrate 80th anniversary of this organization. This was one of the first photographers organizations, which had program: gather all photographers of Lithuania, increase the level of photography in artistic, scientific and practical aspect and propagate the Lithuanian photography abroad. Gradually increased exhibition activities: there were organized five exhibitions with catalogues. Members started to participate in exhibitions not just in Lithuania but in competitions and salons abroad. Some photographers were awarded internationally for their work. The most important ones would be medals from International exhibition in Paris “Art and technology in today life” in 1937.
