Short Portrait
This series was prepaired for group exhibition "ROZHOVOR" (Interview-会話). I took 4 pictures lapped over each other, so that I can put flow of time around them. These are women's portraits with little piece of their banal but precious life.
 
Study For Attention
Why I took these pictures and why I remenber these pictures? The purpose or concept of this work is to think again of reasons why I took pictures and to think what is seeing, what is paying attention, what is conceiving.
 
on a way
To the friends who have waited for my new pictures. I don't change my style to take pictures. Just take a walk on the street or the way. I am always looking for the moments that make me to take pictures. It is sometime tough like to leave the key to take pictures to the anotherone's hand, but it is enough to follow the voice from streets like a servant.
 
TOKYO - PRAHA
It will be my main work to take pictures at where I live. However it is no importance of where we are. There are the moments to take pictures anywhere. The moments are looking at us waitng for us and calling us. We only need the patience to try to catch the voices of them. Tokyo and Praha,each has defferent atmosphere but,being carefully, I can meet the moments unfolded with reflection of the defferent culture and history. People are telling, showing and wearing them.
 
TOKYO-PRAHA 2
Encouner with some epacial moments rather than with people. When I take pictures,I feel that I am caught and wrapped by some strong air like stream connected to the past and future. Strenger's life crosses across my life. I feel always joy of excitment from encounters in eventlessness, because there exist only I and you.
 
daily snaps...
Every day I see almost same sights on my way to job and home. All the pictures were taken in such daily rutine walking. But actually I found something which suddenly shows different face than usual. I do not know whether I looked at them in different way or they were in different way.
 
divadlo
The scenes from theaters.
 
S detimi
With children I feel it is difficult to catch up with them. When I take pictures with them, somehow they demand me lots of energy. They are energish,clever,wild and sometimes so kind and sweet.They teach me a lot about how to take pictures. It is like excercise for me to be among them and to take pictures. they are my best theachers for photography also for czech languege.
