Snow Study: The Minimalism
•January 12, 2010 • Leave a CommentDo you know this feeling when something so simple just as snow for instance influences you so much you instantly start taking pictures of it to see what it would look like on a photo? Well, exactly the same thing happened to me today… Influenced not only by presence of the snow but also by the weather forecast annoucing Prague has gotten the most snow in the last 17 years (!), I took my camera and went outside to take some pictures. Turned out I took more than I planned to (as usual) and some of them actually came out pretty well (also as usual)!
I am dividing this photo essay in a couple of segments again so that you can get a better look on the key motifs of the pictures alone…
Prague’s Most Famous: Pissing Statues
•January 11, 2010 • Leave a CommentOne of the most hilarious art works from the contemporary output of the Czech new art genius David Černý, author of the controversial Entropa, is undoubtedly that of two men pissing in what in the outlines daringly resembles to the shape of Czech Republic!
This marvelous piece of art is installed in front of Kafka Museum located in Prague’s Cihelná street practically at the river in a walking distance from the Charles Bridge. The ironic undertone of this creation as well as its futility so typical for the Czech spirit and associated with our history only adds up on significance of this piece…
Warmly recommend everyone to visit this site and stay there for a little while! Surrounded by Kafka’s ubiquitous existentialism, it’s a great place to think afterall!
The First Snow in Prague right before Christmas I
•December 19, 2009 • Leave a CommentPrague is underneath the snow! Finally two days ago with more than a month delay Prague has covered itself in white and reveals its charm more than in any other season of the year…
Quite out of the blue suddenly I felt it again – the creative urge to take my camera and to go out and take pictures. So yesterday night I took my camera and went out - alone, just walked around downtown while sucking in the cleansing freezing night air and thinking about just how much I actually enjoy this and how much I love winter!
And thinking about it I decided to capture the moments I breathed in as well… So here it goes…. A small taste of what the atmosphere of nighttime Prague all covered in white feels like.
Hope you’ll enjoy!
