Reacquainting Myself With My Flickr Community

I don’t consider myself much of a photographer, though I do have a good eye for the kinds of stuff I like and am not bashful about trumpeting other shooters’ consummate talents.
Lately, I’ve been spending long evenings in front of the laptop clicking through slideshow upon slideshow from the various collections of several pro- and amateur snappers I’ve been fanning over the course of several weeks.
Today’s post is more of a fanboy thing. So I promise not to be slinging any controversial ideas or making any bombastic statements about China, North Korea, Bam Bam, or the state of race relations in the Golden City of Prague. Just some good old-fashioned (and not so old-fashioned) art, a dollop of good fun, and a lineup of very gifted craftsmen and women who really know what they’re doing when they pick up a camera.
Tady bylo Husákovo | This Was Once Husák’s Country
I attended this photo exhibit last night by Lubomir Kotek. Highly recommended for some late-’80s shots of life in the Former Czechoslovakia. All Bloc-heads and Commie-philes will enjoy the bleak Socialist-era photos on display and Prague’s ever-present scaffolding and constructions in the then-hardline Communist nation. Amazing stuff.
