EARLY WORKS
I often felt nauseous before going to school because of the humiliation which I faced in relation to teachers. The only way to survive school was to do something creative – take pictures and produce movies.
In the age of 11 I got my first photo camera in a trade for 20 empty cans of lemonade and beer. (For the western people it might seem quite unthinkable such a deal but at those times it was quite common to exchange (goods or services) for other goods or services without using money.)
At the same time my best friend and classmate Rinalds had the 8-mm camera and we made together movies called “I.R. Piktuers”.
