"Soon to be Gone", by Lithuanian photographer Tadas Kazakevičius, is a deeply-poetic and engaging portrayal of rural life in his homeland that strikes at the heart of the human condition.

Photography and nature share a long and storied relationship, one that stretches almost to the medium’s very beginnings. From the early photogenic drawings of plants and outdoor scenes made through contact printing, to the daguerreotypes and calotypes of the 1840s, through the modernist masters of the 20th century and the drone images of today, photography has continually offered new ways of seeing the natural world.
