My story
What he was
A country lad with a hunting rifle, a moustache, a Peaky Blinders-style cap and the clothes of the English travellers. He hunted fur animals for a living until the business stopped paying — and then, with nothing left to shoot for, he started watching the animals instead. He got to know them, made friends with them, felt sorry for them, and understood he had been wrong to shoot them: they are so lovely and so cheerful.
What changed with AI
When AI tools appeared, he swapped the rifle for a professional camera — the kind with a big lens that, from a distance, still looks a little like a rifle and still makes the foxes pause for a second. Now he lies in the wet grass at dawn, waits, and shoots nothing but frames. Back home the photos become albums and animal stories, made with AI tools and a warm cup of coffee.
How he earns now
Those albums and stories earn him a far better income than hunting ever did, and he teaches photographers and advertising creators to work with AI tools. He also gets into regular scrapes with the animals — like the crow that once frightened him clean out of his cap and now flies in every morning to say hello. He calls her the Queen, leaves her a treat and teaches her commands: crows are very clever birds, live for many years and pass information to each other like stories. AI can collect that knowledge and learn from animal behaviour — for new ways of communicating and new inventions.
What goes up on Kailiniai.com
He uploads his frames to Kailiniai.com as animal stories — adventures that are also educational, for adults and children alike, so that parents can read them aloud at bedtime. The first one is about the beaver living in the Paupys ponds in Vilnius, who, Adam swears, posed for the camera on purpose.
“Now I hunt frames and upload them to kailiniai.com as animal stories, and I teach photographers and ad creators to work with AI tools — it’s much more fun and it pays better, and my animal friends don’t get hurt — wonderful!”
