We’ve just returned from Prague in the Czech Republic after spending a week there. Nancy’s school, as do other Russian schools, has a week-long fall break in November. Prague is a gorgeous city with an interesting and important history that has affected Europe for hundreds of years. The buildings and other architecture are phenomenal. I spent hours just photographing them.
There is one thing that is lacking in Prague compared with cities like Москва, LA or New York. The graffiti in Prague is very poor. Compared with New York, arguably the graffiti capital of the world, Prague’s graffiti artists seem to be in their infancy. And while residents and tourists are probably very happy with this, as a photographer it’s down-right disappointing. In a city renowned for its art, you’d think graffiti artists would be in their prime – not so. I’m wondering if the art formed hasn’t evolved yet and there is more to come or, is Prague’s graffiti at its pinnacle and on its way down? Time will tell. I’ll let you know after our next visit.
Доследующегораза,
