Invitational

Usually I save a web-size (800x600 or so) versions of the photos that I think came out well in a directory called Web\K10D. And then of course I take a look at these photos every now and then. And so yesterday I noticed that most of the recent photos of mine are of the people whom I mostly know. And then the recollection came down at me...

I went to Prague to have a good time and also because the husband-soon-to-be asked me to take some pictures at the wedding. Then there was this company party and I was shooting again. Yesterday I had a nice walk in the park shooting my co-worker's firstborn.

People who know me are starting to ask me to come and take some pictures for them!

No, I am not charging money or anything of this kind. However this is really amusing.

As a side note, if you read this blog/message, please leave a comment so that I'd know if there are more than one person whom I happen to know in person ;-) reading my ramblings...

May the light be with you...

Prague, day 3 and day 4

As a matter of fact, I was rather exhausted on the next day after the wedding. I did not any pictures really worth showing, except may be the obligatory elevator mirror portrait.

During this trip something has clicked inside my head and now I tend to shoot with both eyes opened, not just the viewfinder eye...



On the fourth and the last day of the trip I had great pleasure meeting Frantisek Vlcek - a Prague dweller and a fellow photographer, formerly Pentax user...

Here is he wielding his Jedi sabre Canon camera...



Then I proceeded to Jan Saudek museum. It was quite a blast! It is good though that you could find most of the work presented in the museum in the electronic form on the above web site.

Then I just roamed the old town for quite a bit and these are the pictures that caught my eye:









And then unfortunately we had to head back to the airport...

P.S. All pictures were taken with Pentax SMC DA 21/3.2 AL Limited lens.
