Traveling again…
Soon after I came back from Cuba, we broke up with Ef and my friend Lukas invited me to spend Holidays and New Years Eve with him and Zuzka in New Orleans. And yes, I said yes. Of course I did – what a great idea! It turned out to be one of my greatest Xmases (but don’t tell my mother… sorry mum) :-)
This roll of Kodak Tri-x traveled with me from Prague to the US… inside Olympus mjuII camera which I’m starting to like more and more now. Before I left for New Orleans I spent some time with my friends in Prague…
OK we had a beer or two… but that’s not the reason why this shot looks like it does. There are just some limitations of the little fella, point-n-shoot mjuII. But I still like it… and I still like this shot as well :-) “Prague ghosts”
Well again, I swear I was not so stoned, mum :-) I tried some abstract long exposure shots… intentionally!
OK back to some more normal shots… this is Jena
Well not so normal again… :-)
Anicka
And…ME. Anicka stole my camera…
Since that’s very rare opportunity to show also my own face, here’s another shot of me taken by Anicka
And one more… narcissism :-)
Leaving the music club called “Wagon”
In another pub. Anicka had enough of being photographed
And Jena had enough… :-)
Since Anicka is not from Prague and I was lazy… and it was already about 5am, we decided to spend night (or rest of the night) at Jena’s
The next day (actually the same day technically) on my way home
In the evening I went to Avishai Cohen concert. You can’t see much details here but it was great experience. I bought their CD after that, I simply love this music (and I finally gave it to Lukas and Zuzka as an Xmas gift)
Self portrait with two ladies
Another reflection with even more strange look
And my American Xmas is about to start… at the Prague airport about 17 hours before me
Usual airport shots… kinda habit
Again I knew the focus wouldn’t work here… but anyway I took these two shots
Little fella waiting for the same plane to Amsterdam
And finally! The first shot from New Orleans – Lukas in their flat
Zuzka installing her laces… on the way to buy some clothes because my luggage got stuck in Amsterdam :-)
Sherlock Holmes was there too
Zuzka took some pictures for our new gangsta-hardcore-hip-hop-trance-deathfunk music group’ web profile on MySpace
OK maybe not really gangsta… but definitely modern and progressive (and as you can see – also right-oriented)
My new-orleanian look. I’m not so thin – this was due to the mirror
Wild-Caught Seafood, ho ho ho ho ho ho…
Definitely not perfectly framed (<=hip shot… or hip hop shot), but whatever… this entry is not serious at all anyway
I had many other rolls from the US so more, more, and more to come :-) The annual grant reports are over now so maybe, MAYBE I’ll have a bit more time to post.
Stay tuned and take care, J.
