Oh…and This one Too
I feel that a lot of people focus on the physical landscape of Prague instead of the people…I hope to change that during the course of this blog. But this is a really pretty city. This is a picture of Charles Bridge that was built in the 1400′s by King Charles ( the same guy who established Charles University, Prague Castle, and something else that’s really famous, that was probably also named after himself!). The shadowy figures in the image are all scultpture of various saints. The picture was taken very very early in the morning (sunrise) b/c usually this site is littered with tourists. If you take this bridge it leads right into the Old city and then to Prague Castle and St. Vitus church. When you go here you can see an absolutely spectactular view of the city…like whoa!!

Nice!, I’ve found that the best way of taking a photo in Prague just happens to be during those odd hours when the tourists aren’t fighting for a position to get digital images from their mobile telephones. I went to Prague a number of years ago from Berlin on New Years Eve and it was insane (in a good way). i took my 4X5 field camera and I tried to have a good time while I working. Thanks for the opportunity to post. I happened to be on the website to see about applying for a faculty position teaching figurative sculpture and so, that’s how i came across this blog. I lived in Paris for 3 months while doing graduate research at the College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning and I’m thinking now that I should have split my time between both Paris and Prague during that 3 moths.
