High school life - I believe one of the best times man can ever have. And sadly but true - you can only really appreciate it when it's over. Throughout the last year in high school I had strange feeling in my guts: "How's that possible? Soon you're going to separate your ways from friends you've been meeting every day for many years." I tried to bring my camera to school every day to capture that naive but so typical "soon being thrown into "big" life" feeling. Lessons, lunch brakes, sleepy mornings and presence of warm feelings. A place of light-fully emotions - friendship, knowledge, experience. Palace of lightness.

These photographs are dedicated to my classmates from form 12.a, 2009 graduates and our best class head teacher ever - Martins Abolins. You've taught us a lot more than a teacher usually does - this goes out for you.
