Having my dad reproductive photographer who became a film-maker and my grandad shop-assistant in a shop with cameras in the 1930's, I just grew up with cameras and pics. I still remember those mysterious moments when I developed b/w pics in our improvized darkroom - the bathroom which had always priority to mom's requests to use it for its purpose.
Two of many possibilities what to shoot are far distances and near vicinity of everyday life. I do both and enjoy it.
It's always interesting to learn from others, to read some specialized books, magazines, visit galleries, know the best works. But this all should be followed by an attempt on its own creative photos. Again there are two ways for me. To look into depth of one's soul and to "go out" and be "actual". Both can be attractive for the audience and, at the same time, bring satisfaction...


Motto: I am rather after lyricism than romanticism.

The second one:
Fun, drive? Yeah, let's ride!

Here comes the third:
Shots must be juicy. Anti-boredom league.

And one rule of thumb:
You must drag your camera always with you. Since you almost always regret when you don't.

    Her wonderful photos and her knowledge of history/culture combine beautifully to teach people from distant lands (like me) about the wonderful places in Europe esp. Czech. I always look forward to Irenes postings and hope that there is a little story attached with the photo :-)

    Keep up the great work my friend...your knowledge is appreciated."

    "Irene's pictures have a unique atmosphere of diversity and yet unity, through the play of light, vanishing perspectives and depth of field one can find in most of her pictures. Congratulations et vive Prague !"

    "This testimonial is long overdue!

    When I originally started using Flickr I didn't know what to expect. Irene was one of my first contacts and she made me feel welcome right away. I soon discovered that she is everywhere! Not only has she made comments all over my photostream, invited me to join many groups, and favorited my photos but she has done these things everywhere! I have found here to be a true Flickr STAR. Her contributions to the Flickr community never end!

    Irene is also very generous with her photos. She has a very diverse selection of photos that in themselves provide you with a snapshot of her life. Her photos convey talent and give a unique perspective. One of my favorite contacts! I look forward to viewing her latest uploads everytime I log in to Flickr.
