Prague. Prague. Prague.

I must start out with saying, that I wish there was a button that would allow you to clear everyone off the streets of downtown Prague- just for photographers. It would require quarters like a street meter but your maximum time to clear the streets would be 2 hrs... just so everyone still got to enjoy the city in different times of day. If this were possible, I would love my pictures of the city a bit more.

We spent a week at a children's camp just outside of Prague and it was busy but rewarding. I was able to provide the camp with a variety of photography and it was not a waste of time in any way because any time I photograph I learn something new.
When we finished camp, we stayed in a flat in Prague for two nights, got to visit Terezin and spend almost two days walking around the city, enjoying the culture.

Terezin was a camp for Jews before they were sent off to a legit concentration camp and it was so sad because the camp was filled with beautiful, vibrant colors but it was an empty satisfaction... because you love looking at the contrast of the orange/yellow buildings with the bright blue sky and it's just hard to appreciate dead beauty. Most of the pictures I took at the camp did not remain in full color, I toned it down or just made it b&w.
