Wow. I took some blurry stone photos yesterday.

You d exquisite work. You make others (some/me) -

Feel like we do chalkboard sketches and then erase.

You are one artistic Canadian. I'm wondering .. .

If you were a master janitor - Please smile at drawing?
smile . . .
I hope I am not to shy to show Canadian stacked stones.

I remember a saying -
`
Come back to the land with stone in hands. I love stoned.
Remain sober all day.
Rob Canadian stones?
I collect and stack stones.

Oh Art, You make want to go out and build some right now just to try to live up to that. Thanks so much and more ...You I adore.

If you cannot watch them now or sign up, please just click through which will extremely helpful and enough of a vote for me. Thanks again and have a great Sunday for the rest of the year!

brilliant! 9id somebackground noise here at the train station 0 and my brain isnt communicating with my half-gloved hands so i need to devote more quiet time later on this sun-
day beautiful (pause) no, astounding work: didactic, mystical...I am in awe of your talent...

I'm not sure how to follow J.P. & Art but I will go click for you. And I will find time to watch. Thanks for sharing your gift.

It seems to be an app that wants my personal info and I don't approve those. I'll go back later and find a way in.

excellent work...very creative!

I shall have to check those out. I am an avid history buff. One thing I've noticed is a complete lack of adequate documentaries regarding the smaller, less "touristy" historical monuments of Greece and Turkey.

For example, apparantly there are enormous ancient markers and monuments at Thermopylae, Chaeronea and the like, but nobody writes about these, or takes photos of these anymore. In fact, its almost as if they are totally forgotten. An up-to-date photo exhibit or documentary on the subject, marketed toward ancient history buffs would be guaranteed to make a fortune. Especially since many of us are financially strapped in this recession and can't make the trip to Greece/Turkey ourselves to see this stuff.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Chaeronea_%28338_BC%29

Here, this is one of the most famous battles in antiquity, and there is a massive lion monument at the battlesite, but its very hard to find up-to-date photos, pictures or video of the site or national park there. Same with Thermopylae and other sites in Greece. All the websites focus on the Acropolis, Oracle at Delphi, Mount Olympus and the like, but all the smaller more interesting historical sites are forgotten.

I love your work. Very inspiring to me. Thank you.

Wonderful! We have a documentary film festival in my town. It would be so great if you would enter your films, then you could come visit because they only bring films where the director will come to the festival too!

Sorry, I meant filmmaker not director. I knew I was using the wrong word, but took the one that my brain was supplying.
:(

I bow to your magic ma cher.
HUGGGGGGGGGG

This is just awesome. So very cool. Congratulations to such a creative individual. R

what's this, now?
"Documentary on The portrait of a man
with an urgent quest of self identity through
shape shifting transformations between his youth
his adulthood and his old age...."

Sounds absolutely fascinating.
I look forward to delving into your art.

I will make time to watch these when I return this evening, your films and photos are rich and beautiful. They feel very real and solid and are soothing when I feel anxious or fearful. I'm really looking forward to hearing the music too. I remember how good I felt watching the one you did with all the colors and flowers.

I remember much of the beauty you've shared with us. I really liked the fish that came to you year after year. You're very generous about sharing your art, I'm more grateful than you know.

I followed James M. . Then - I was happy to see l' Herure Bleue here @ the commenter scroll.
I Love the comments.

These were breathtaking...thank you, Algis
for your consistent beatiful work!

I don't belong to facebook, it's against my religion ( minding my own business) but philbert will take a look ----
what I see here is wonderful

You are a real and very talented artist, Algis; thanks for the education. R

Rated.
Can't go to FaceAche and vote, sorry but FB gives me haemorrhoids.

Kudos and wow!

I adore Art too. And, your no slouch either, Algis. Kudos on all your impressive work.

J.P. Hart, Your so wonderful for saying that and I really appreciate it. I hope you get the thrill your looking for and the music is equally fabulous. Cheers and Thanks!


phyllis45's Bright Eyes, OK that sounds promising. I think you can just join but I appreciate your efforts and desire. Thanks again.

Blinddream, Thanks so very much and I hope you find the time to see both or some of each. Your an inspiration.


Rw005g, Thanks again and Yes, I hear you. My Mimetoliths is both interesting and wonderful. I almost lost my life while making it. I guess the Greek gods like me cause I did not break my neck and drowned as you will see in one scene in the film..

zanelle, Oh and I love you back just as much for saying that. Thanks again! Keep on keeping on.


Midwest Muse, Would love to do that. When where and How? Please PM me a link. Thanks again for thinking of me. I also have another one called Masterclass with Walter Lassally. Oscar winning cinematographer from Zorba the Greek.


Midwest Muse, Thats OK. Cheers!

Linda Seccaspina , Merci beaucoup et plus pour vous. Au revoir...

Michelle Coulter, Great and thanks again OH so very much!


James M. Emmerling, Oh that is just great. I cannot not wait to read what you found. There is a lot of things I love in Shapeshifter. Thanks again.




l'Heure Bleue, Oh thats is just marvelous. Something happened at the place where the fish were just south of Montreal and they did not come back last year. I was so sad. So glad your keeping up and I hope you find the time to see some of each film. Thanks again..

Art James, I hope you get your wishes to be Santa and more.Thanks for passing by and I hope you see some of both movies or all of each!


M. C. S. Your equally cool for saying that. Cheers!

fernsy, Thanks so very much Fernsy. I Really appreciate it. Hope you get to see both...

You do such wonderful things with film Algis.
I bow in your honor.
I love this.
Thanks so for sharing.

Algis, wow...that's an impressive documentary! I'm wondering how many months it took to produce the film? I am figuring a 60 minute film like yours must have taken at least 6 months or more to film, edit, narrate, etc.

Re: Mimetoliths. I have no words to describe my personal experience watching this film. Only tears!

I'll be checking out later this evening when I've returned home again. My personal favourite of your past vids, while in a more humorous vein, was the "Caring for Cats" one, with "Lindsay Lohan" and that stirring soundtrack.

Algis, I watched this over the weekend but then got waylaid before I could comment. The cinematography and land and ocean and stones are all just breathtakingly beautiful! Also, I love the little stone man dancing at the end...and the wonderful interviews. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work!

Mission, OMg thanks so much. I am speechless with your comment. Best to you and yours!


designanator, It actually took a few years to get all the footage and eventually do all the work.My camera system changed twice durning the filming due to technology. Thanks again for checking it out and the best to you always.

SpiritManSF, OMG now I am tering up to. Thanks again brother..best to you and yours.


VariousArtists OMg you remember that. I am impressed. thanks so very much. Live long and prosper.

Thanks again you make feel oh so much better....

So amazing Algis! What was that in your pipe? Looks like the adventure of a lifetime!

Susie Lindau, Thanks! It really was an adventure and still is. I cherish all the Mimetoliths I find on occasion. The search for faces in rock continues and eventually morphed into my Born in Stone Portfolio.
