“Portrait of Kra\u017eiai” is one of my long term projects, that I can consider accomplished after the book of the same name was published in the end of year 2009 (\u0160viesos ra\u0161tas, Kaunas, Lithuania).<\/p>\n

My first visit to the historic village of Kra\u017eiai (North Western Lithuania) was in autumn 2001, while most part of the year 2002 I spent driving between Kaunas, where I live, to Kra\u017eiai, covering the distance of some 15000 km.<\/p>\n

I was all ends into working on “Portrait of Kra\u017eiai”, because having returned to Lithuania, I was keen to record the Lithuanian province in transition. I was seeing the vanishing visual rudiments of the Soviet years, the new rules of market changing the everyday daily life, the iconography of globalization and the pre-reality show era.<\/p>\n

In the gallery below are the first nineteen images from my book “Portrait of Kraziai”.<\/p>\n
