Kaunas Photography Art School
It's difficult not to submit to the passing of time. So many nice moments one by one are dieing away from our memory. But I found the way to save them - I frame them in time. Sometimes I admire them. The moments which will never repeat.
I have been leading a different life for about one year. I started learning at Kaunas Photography Art School. The teaching staff has revealed me a completely different world. They made me think about the smallest details of our lives. I became the looker-on, started paying attention to beauty, which I am now trying to catch and frame in time.
Every day starts with questions and thoughts of what I will see that day, what I will dedicate my precious time for. My precious time, which is passing on and on..
In the morning, while going to school, I observe nature. Maybe I'll turn my sleepy eyes to something cute, and it will become a photo.
At school, time calls me, last of all takes me by hand and says 'You are free'. Then I can go and convert my ideas into actions, try to make my secret wishes come true.
I can see and feel frozen time coming back. I see more clear shapes of the trees, still clouds and people. I remember that I have seen them somewhere before. Perhaps through the lens?.. Yes, absolutely. My memory lights up with bright colours. I remember how I was walking and suddenly stopped, a view made me forget my thoughts, and I framed it. That's what I feel when I'm looking at my works.
I feel every step, embody my ideas, and feel this only because of the experience gained at the Photography Art School. I am thankful to this School for the changes in my life.
