Once a year, Justas brings his Grandmother to the sea. When it rains, Grandma asks to leave her at the tennis courts. I would watch and watch, she says. Soon, the Grandson will fly to a distant country again, and she will again sit at home all day in front of the TV. And next summer will be waiting. Nida, Lithuania.

Ricardas Jarmalavicius is an internationally acclaimed amateur photographer from Lithuania, famous for his vulnerable black-and-white photos, mostly taken with his iPhone. A good photo is not an image but a mirror, says Ricardas. In this mirror, people see their stories, feelings, memories, fears, and expectations. Ricardas’ unique point of view on life is shaped by his childhood in an orphanage, prison guard experience, long-term work in journalism and public relations, books, and a colorful personal life. Ricardas has received more than 130 international photography awards.
