senor Hernando Gerreroo
The first we saw of him that night he was carried out, in a white trench coat wearing those famous large black horn rimmed glasses, drenched in a melancholy stain, she told me later it was because his mother would of been 100 today..
the day i arrived in Colombia three months ago, someone told me of a photographer who lived in the city, who had traveled all over the world working for many years as a photographer for many newspapers magazines.
Copenhagen
About five hours spent in Copenhagen downtown between the airplanes in February(2012) resulted in this short series of photographs. Even though it was cold and early morning, it was well worth it to see city and it’s people waking up… If you ever have even five or more hours overlay, don’t hesitate, jump on the metro=subway=underground and go wander… it’s a short 15 minutes ride and only 4-6 minutes between departures.

Roots
“Deep roots are not reached by frost” J.R.R. Tolkien
Photo book “ROOTS” is a tribute to my roots. Photographs where taken during my last trip to Lithuania (October, 2011) in villages of Grabijolai and Kazokiškės, where my grandparents come from. Outstanding places, wonderful and hospitable people, slow and relaxed pace of life that haven’t changed much in years… It was very sensational just being there. Somehow this time I saw villages and life there differently. Hope these photographs represent the way, as I was enjoying the simplicity, as well as just being there…
$5 Fee- photo protest
September 29, 2011NEW YORK (CNN Money) — Get ready for a new wave of bank fees. Bank of America will begin charging a $5 monthly fee at the beginning of next year for customers who make debit card purchases.
Whether you use your card for one purchase a month or 20, you will pay $5 per month starting in 2012. It doesn’t matter if you select “debit” or “credit” at the point of sale.
Debit card is your money in the bank, that bank uses and does not pay(usually) any interest on it. Soon (2012)we will have to pay to use our money. Then I wonder- what’s next?! This is my answer to Bank of America decision to charge $5 monthly debit card fee. Just a matter of principle.
P.S. November 1, 2011 Bank of America Corp reversed course and scrapped plans to charge a $5 per-month debit fee, handing a victory to consumers and protesters angry with big banks.
Vintage photographs from Indian Subcontinent
Browsing the internet today I came across outstanding web site that hosts “historical old vintage photographs from Indian Subcontinent”. I got lost there for a while… and I know I’m coming back to get lost there even more! Interestingly you can see how little and how much India has changed over the years. If you interested in stuff like that, you can spend hours just like I did, wondering where it will take you…

Amritsar. Not only Golden Temple
Amritsar, a city in the northern part of India (state of Punjab) was founded by Guru Ram Das in 1574 on land bought by him for 700 rupees from the owners of the village of Tung. Central walled city has narrow streets mostly developed in the 17th and 18th century. The city is a peculiar example of an introverted planning system with unique areas called Katras. The Katras are self styled residential units that provided unique defence system during attacks on the city. Today, city’s population is over 1,500,000. The main commercial activities include tourism, carpets and fabrics, farm produce, handicraft, service trades and light engineering. Amritsar also is an education hub for the region with many educational institutions ranging from engineering to arts. But mostly Amritsar is known for Harmandir Sahib or Golden Temple. But, besides beautiful and very spiritual Golden Temple, city with it’s people is a very special place to enjoy daily life boiling in the streets with a lot of history and vibe…

The land of five rivers
| Fields of Punjab |
Punjab is a state in the northwest of the Republic of India. The word Punjab is a combination of the Persian words پنج panj (five) and آب āb (water), and thus the (land of) five rivers . The five rivers are the Beas, Sutlej, Ravi River, Chenab River, and Jhelum River. With just 1.5% of India’s land area, Punjab produces 20% of the country’s wheat and 12% of its rice. It provides 60% of the Central government’s reserve stocks of wheat and 40% of its reserves of rice, the country’s buffer against starvation. Punjab’s amazing productivity made it possible for India to feed most of its growing population that tripled from 350 million when the country became independent in 1947 to about 1.2 billion people today. Punjab is one of the most fertile regions on earth and is called ”India’s bread-basket” for a reason.
