Photographer Uldis Briedis belonged to that generation of senior masters of their craft, whose accumulation of historical evidence created in their work belongs to the golden fund of time. Tirelessly continuing to sort through the rich archive he has gathered during his work as a press photographer, Uldis Briedis has selected from it an excellent continuation of his first contribution "Laika medniekas" (Neputns, 2010). If in it he rummaged through the oldest sections of the archive, looking into people and events from the end of the 60s of the 20th century to the Awakening and the active early years of the new state, then the diverse life of the already stable free state, as it has been revealed to the eyes of a trained observer in the 21st century, is on the agenda. The book contains about 220 photographs, mostly taken after 2000.
