A rainy weekend at a country resort with Cornelia and Dorothea, my ex-girlfriend's daughters. The girls' faces show their whole world, as well as the one that is still waiting for them.

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 120 international photography awards.
