Honza, Me, Radek, Mad-Dog-crime-stopping-take-a-bite-outa-crime John Bynum in front of what we thought was Stalin's head, left over from the 50m tall statue of Stalin, which hung over Prague for 10yrs roughly, but was blown up in the 50's. -Turned out to be an artist's rendition leftover from an art festival held underground back in the 90's.

Lady with a baby in a stroller at the beer garden in Letna. Beer is cultural, everyone goes to the beer gardens. It's simply a part of life. It's simple... an extreme juxtaposition to the beer-guzzling college parties, or even more insecurity-laden high school beer-drinking parties. I love beer and would have loved to grow up knowing it this way, simply, matter-of-factly, as a simple part of daily life. Instead I only ever knew it as a way to get drunk with people my own age. Prague tower in the back ground. I live almost under it. (March)
