My congratulations as well! I feel fortunate to have seen a few of the digital copies here on the forum. I'm sure a showing of the original plates will be wonderful.

So I just back from my exhivbition openning выставку в Каунасе (Литва)
What I can say.. without a doubt this is the best thing I ever made :)

But let I tell you step by step...

I've started my journey a week before exhibition should be opened - I went there by my car - about 1000 kilometers and one border with custom crossing. It took two days (I made a stop in Riga, Latvia for a night)

When I came to Kaunas first of all I came to the Museum to look inside the room where I had to make my show. This was really cool room in old town in very old building with bricks wall...
Then I mount spot lighting and ambrotypes on the walls for a three days...

So ... some pictures..

I placed a table near the entrance where everyone can get a postcards for a memory, write something for me about exhibition... and read the project description... but to read it you should use looking glass :)

I also add some stuff which I used in my pictures. So I connected my own Mirrorland world to the real world

Thank you, everybody! Really want to make more shows everywhere :) Need to contact with galleries and local societies of photography... in any case I will inform everyone about future exhibition.

[John Brady]

What a beautiful space for an exhibit! I love all the brick and the intimate lighting. The desk looks like a piece of art itself and totally belongs in the exhibit, well done!
