about: eng

“laimikis” in lithuanian means lucky catch;
for us “laimikis” is people on the streets of Vilnius (Lithuania) - though
we are glad to include street people from other towns (and other countries) in it.

“laimikis” as a concept of street photography is based on three principles:
1. the people of your town are no less exotic than personages from overseas;
2. every of them has his/her own story, which is much more interesting, than the comments of any expert;
3. street photography is a communication with passers-by and the way to pay a compliment, overcoming usual urban alienation.

as a result our readers get:
- a fragmented Vilnius guide, which is highly personal;
- a gallery of urban personages, some of whom you can meet in Vilnius some day :)

“laimikis” is being created (since 2oo7 o3 o7) by:

  • Pėdsakas (Jekaterina Lavrinec), areas: anthropology, media and urban studies;
  • with a help of: Cinamonas (Julius Narkūnas), areas: architecture, photography;
      • if you have got any ideas, comments or material you’d like to discuss,
      please contact us: pedsakas@gmail.com

      HELLOOOOOOO, much I’m trying to develop a blog newspaper in which the articles are written by blogger WordPress (or to limit if you do not have time can I you myself when an article by your blog and they to your blog…).
      The blog newspaper was born with the intention to give greater visibility to your blog and the people who search the Web to find articles of greater quality in a single place (having regard to the thousands of blog born every day…). If you go exchange links with blog newspaper contact me as well. I thank you advance and to http://www.giornale.fm soon

      I wish you would have a little advertisement to embed on personal sites such as facebook or myspace. Also “Tell your friends” button would be useful…So more people would visit :)
