Praha // Czech Republic

November 25th, 2004

I went to Praha or Prague for the first time about three years ago now, I enjoyed it so much that I convinced my mates to go there with me. It was like visiting a living history museum, a true snapshot of what I imagined Russia to be like, or seeing Paris 50 years ago. It is a quirky/magical city with a real buzz and I felt that the people had a real sense of optimism for the future of their country, something I feel we miss in our western modern countries. I hope that it mangages to keep it’s national spirit and identity now that it’s become part of the European Union.

Unfortunatly I’ve lost many of my negatives of this time and all I have left is these photos, which I scanned when I got back. I think that I need to plan another trip. Anyone fancy it?

    Cool shot. Love the smoke. Can’t get enough of Prague eh? Never been, but heard so much, and will definitely visit one day.

    hello mate, had to comment on this set ‘cos I’ve always liked the b&w stuff you do. You know I have a bit of an aversion to colour anyway but this set is gorgeous (if a little short), and captures old Praha very well.

    More black and white stuff please…
