#beautifulsunday in City that Pays.
Some of you may already know, some still do not, but originally i am from Vilnius, Lithuania.
Vilnius is a capital, thus the biggest and the most vibrant (well some are free to argue) city in country hence it is nice to take a camera and walk around a little bit on a sunny #beautifulsunday.
I used to go around and do some photography that i would upload to some microstock website for some passive income, but since on Steemit i have earned more in a month than i have earned there in two years my priorities have shifted quite naturally.
I would usually find some graffiti art that would sell sometimes.
Or some greenery that would sell well in Spring.
Texture here or there would result in sales of a few dollars over a couple of months.
Or some abstract shot would find a buyer occasionally.
Sometimes some lifestyle portal or magazine would buy a disgusting picture that would earn me a cup of coffee with a cigarette.
Some weirdo would drop a few cents for an image i thought would never sell for an unknown purpose.
Or some generous travel blog would pay 5 bucks for an image and that day i would have a feast.
None of this is longer important. As i am living in a nice city with an occasional sunny Sunday now and then and writing a blog for Steemit.

thank you sir . This post is very beautiful.
Vilnius must be a thriving photography city, because I'm amazed how many great photographers and models on BeScouted are from there. Makes me want to move ;)
I am sure every country, every city has talented photographers, beautiful models, professional makeup artist, creative hair stylists etc...What most of the countries do not have, it's a community that unites them all in one place, that is why they should join BeScouted and tell all their friends about it lol
But of course you are always welcome to move, Free World without The Boundaries!
P.S. I'll show you the best beer places if you decide to :))
Yes I'm grateful for BeScouted! And thanks for the invitation :)
You are utmost welcome:)
Here's a little trivia for you. My X-Wife grew up in Vilnius (She's Lithuanian and Russian). We have two children together and get along very well. When we first met she would tell me soo much about the beauty of Lithuania. When the children are a bit older they will visit their relatives there. :)
Here you go, now it's a small world indeed. Where did you two meet?
We met in a Starbucks at Yale University.
Ok, so she's a smart one :)
Beautiful pictures dear friend.I will love to know which lens did you use while taking the second picture with a good bokeh effect.
Thanks, i used a kit lens for Sony a6300 which is 16-50mm
Nothing special, but due to a focal pane that depends on actual focal length and the distance to the subbject, sometimes it produces a decent bokeh.
Today you publish stunning pictures! This is a powerful graffiti! Click number five - very cool! All other shots are also beautiful! 😍😘😗😙😚🤗🤗
Thank you dear! I like to walk a round and snap snapshots :) I used to upload them to photo libraries but steemit is so much better now!
It's really cool, David. I love footage from life! Portraits that you do are buzuprechny, but they are the fruits of the director's work, that is not real! I remember your living portraits of unknown people - it's quite another matter! 😍😘😗😙😚🤗🤗
Elon Musk said that there is 1% chance we are not living in a computer generated simulation, so what's real? We are all but the atoms in some semi random order spinning in an endles sea of other atoms :) Everything is real and unreal at the same time, it's a super position! But i know you taste now, which is good because i will know when to tag you in one of my posts! :)
Chance to walk around and shoot some photos is always a good slow #beautifulsunday
It is indeed. Creativity for your brain, exercise for your body and now it can even buy you a coffee or even a lunch :) Thanks for the contest mate, it is another reason to go out and take some images since it has a more pronounced purpose.
you're welcome
