on friday i went to see the exhibition of taylor wessing's photographic portrait prize winners at national portrait gallery. impressed, inspired - for once again I feel like showing you some of my favourites seen over the past month.

i am holding your soul while you sleep

/london, zenit-e/

pain we obey

i love you, bro. thank you for being so brave <3

my heart beats so slow

another 100ISO film roll from 1980's. although not 100% satisfied with the quality of the scans, i just have very strong need to share these. think i will be able to get better quality scans once my new scanner arrives - excited!

where is my mind

my feet in the air. my head on the ground.
/ think i'm back on. sorry for that huge gap.

rainy days

even a rainy day can be a happy day. prague has been all rainy and happy today. wondering how's london. miss it. every now and again.

glasgow / landscapes

i got to try a black and white film roll from 1993. was hoping to be able to see at least some fragments in the pictures. and in fact, it turned out to be a vintage looking miracle. haha. my first series from glasgow - landscapes.

GVE

my friend says: there is too many things going on every day! and i can only agree. haven't been with you for a while, i know. sometimes it feels more like a long dream than anything else. or even a nightmare. but. i am back. and i will slowly tell you everything that has happened while i was off. or at least those fonder things.

- i handed my thesis in. successfully. my tutor suggested A grade. everyone's happy. i celebrated it properly. one could say too properly. but, that's really not for the list of fond things. let's just say it was a great party -smile-
- i spent some lovely days in glasgow with daniel last month (got some lovely photos to show) and we will be off to berlin from tuesday till sunday next week. exited.
- i did some photoshoots meanwhile, too. (again, something to show you)
- and i got to become a member of Goldsmith Vocal Ensamble, which is definitely one of the best things that has happened to me recently. GVE is a group of wonderful people cooperating and singing together with wonderful eska. we work hard to be able to perform at Queen's Elisabeth Hall in London, May 7th. it is still a long journey to go but we will make it and it is going to be amazing. i feel it. everyone does. because there is a great great story behind it. and we all love stories, right -smile-

if you're interested and going to be in London May 7th you can buy the tickets for this special event here.

photos are from one of our rehearsals at Goldsmiths.

oh, and summer is here. let's finally have some fun together.

wanna talk

there is something pleasant and funny as well as something upsetting and irritating about calls. it's like dreaming -?- you sometimes enjoy it, sometimes not. sometimes it makes you feel happy so you wish it would never end and sometimes you feel like you would discard such invention completely - perhaps for that stupid reason that it is not real enough.

anyway. thanks, mr. phone. you do a good job -smile-

dead camp

so. some changes to my blog in 2012 -smile- i might start sharing videos with you, guys. also, i am about to start this kind of new "i like" photo section. soon. but about this later -smile-

'dead camp' is daniel's newly produced track. first from his low cost life debut album that is now being recorded.
i am sharing it with you for several reasons:
/i feel it's special -know the philosophy behind it-
/i feel it's great -this kind of music i would definitely listen to-
/my picture comes with the track, which means it kind of belongs here
/i just want you to hear it, to enjoy, to comment, to share and even to support his new project if you like

thanks x.

noční toulky prahou

not quite sure if it was the sentiment on vaclav havel's death and this big sense of one great nation hidden behind it - or the sentiment on meetings with my old/even new friends - or the sentiment on my night walks through - that made me feel so great about this town again - as well as a bit sad when being away for another 4 months... anyway, hope to see you again soon, lady hundred-spired x.

starts and ends and new and old odds

mari. my new friend. a little princess. another story of serendipity. // we've just started some sort of collaboration together. i will let you know very soon -- or should i let you find out -?-

smile,

4709 the year of the dragon

as it is a chinese new year today - happy new year again -smile-

here comes a few pictures from our new year's eve celebration. oh, such a precious time we had. and in this mood it kind of continues --- new happy times with new happy people; another unexplored places, untold stories, yet unfulfilled dreams and wishes -- but we are just at the beginning of it all, right?

keep your eyes open,

♥ b.

bang bang

i just promised myself to get the best out of 2012. this promise belongs to you, too. for the main, it means to shoot more. to get the old things done, to start some new ones, to stay focused. so. hold me thumbs.

love,

b.
