Also this year I raised interest in exhibiting on this great street festival. It was its 11th anniversary already. Number of streets are closed down in the city for people to walk where cars are usually driving by. Good food, beer and music, culture programs mostly for children, juggling and this. If only the weather was a little better. Like the past 2 weeks before this very Saturday. Oh well! :)


See you next year again.

This must be one of the best times for them. When children are let alone at the kitchen desk, they truly enjoy themselves. Tobi's favorite must be anything with cocoa, while Timi is happy with some bread crust. :) Are your children enjoying the eating time too?

One day we decided to buy a sandbox. Our sons love sand, especially at the sea. While it is difficult to bring sea home, it is not impossible to have a sandbox on your balconi. It became a private sandbox and the kids love it. The good thing is it is only a few steps away from the living room, so when we are at home it becomes an easy target. :)

Bubbles. They are so simple, yet so much effective. Children love them. The more, the better. All you need is a bucket of soapy water, a man who does the job and a big square with lots of children. I had all three yesterday. Children are great. When they are drawn into the game, they forget about the outer world. I wanted to delve into their world for a while. It was only a few minutes, but it was worth it.

Last week I was shooting children on their regular aikido traning in Aikido Vinohrady, Prague. I never took photographs of martial arts before, so it was quite a challenge. The children were aged between 8 and 13 and they trained in a gym located underground without any natural light. They were acting very naturally, practically as if I was not present at all. This helped me a lot to capture their "originals". I also learnt a bit about aikido and I must admit I liked it. Find below a few photos from the traiing or visit my FB album, for more.

I buy flowers every now and then. It brings life into the living room and smile to the giftee. Seldom do I realize that they are ideal candidates for shooting close-ups. Flowers can reveal amazing textures, colors and shapes when looked at closely. This time I shot this beautiful pink gerbera using my old Helios lens with extension tubes.

Every time I decide to roam through the Prague city center, there is guarantee that I meet thousands of cameras held by thousands of tourists. Last week, after work I went to meet Charles bridge.
