Prague Old Town Square, a photo from Prague, Bohemia

Photographer's Note

Prague - Old Town Square.
Unfortunately I had to miss this year's Gay Pride as I was sick, so I am waking up from my posting sleep with one of the less crowded pictures from my recent visit to Prague.
I rarely visited a city more congested with tourists than Prague, as a matter of fact it was really hard to take street photos as masses of people were everywhere, blocking streets and view.
Nevertheless I enjoyed very much the unique architecture and the history behind it. I just wished I could have seen Prague years ago, when it still looked like Milos Forman shot it in "Amadeus".

Hey, what a pleasant surprise to see you dropping in here again, Cristina! A picture true to style, very recognisable, beautiful.

As far as your Prague comment goes, friends of ours just visited the city and they said exactly the same thing. It's not exactly moving Prague up on our list of places we want to visit.

Hello Cristina,
It's nice to see you here even just temporarily. I like the happy faces and the shining bubbles and generally the street life in your characteristic style. Your description of Prague and tourists sounds awful but confirms my impressions. I'm glad I spent a couple of days there 33 years ago so I won't desperately need to go back.
Kind regards,
Gert

Dear Christina,

The smile on the woman's face really sells this image. I looked throught your gallery, I think I will have to play a visit later.

Best Wishes,
Gy.

Ciao Crisitina, What a joy to see you again here. It is a great surprise. And sad that you were sick lately. I hope that now it is all OK with your health. great picture of so many people in the Prague street. It is really packed view. The play with the bubbles looks fabulous here. Stunning composition in black and white. To see Prague without masses of people you should get up early in the morning and probably in winter rather than in summer. When I was there one year ago in January, even the Charles Bridge was empty.

Hello Cristina

Thank goodness we've got you back again! I do hope this isn't just a one-off. This is a classic "pap" image, street people doing stuff with no regard for your camera, and those bubbles to intrigue. Beautifully contrast monochrome, and a classic candid street shot. Straight in my favourites!

Regards

Will
