Photohraphing the mind

Nothing on this earth happens accidentally... Once a year in Lithuania - Vilnius, we have Kaziukas fair, when all the artists and craftsmen from all over the country and even the neighbors come to Vilnius old town to sell their works. It is the biggest opportunity they are waiting all year long to earn some money. After my trip to Ethiopia, I always compare the things i've seen there with the life people live here.. and i've deicided, that it would be nice to show to my Ethiopian friends, what Kaziukas market is like here in Lithuania. So I took my camera, and left..

I was making pictures of people, ceramics, different goods and crafts.. Always thinking of Ethiopia and comparing Lithuanian angels with Ethiopian ones, Lithuanian potery, with Ethiopian.. And when I got a dveloped film, I've beend astonished - I've got not simple pictures of Vilnius Kaziukas fair, but the pictures of my mind.. where on the background of any moment of my Kaziukas fair, is Ethiopia.. Lithuanian angels with Ethiopian landscapes.. What is the difference for an angel - Lithuania or Ethiopia.. people everywhere are the same :)
