2009

Photographer, Antanas Sutkus made it easy for me to photograph him at his home in Vilnius,Lithuania. I asked him to lay down on his couch with a large Antanas' photograph of the writer, Jean-Paul Sartre, on the wall.
"Now Antanas," I asked, "close your eyes."  I took several frames on my old, motorized Nikon. "Now open your eyes."  Click,click....
"Thank you," I finally said. "That was great!"
And in December 2009, just before Christmas, those were the best photographs I took all year.
