Filip

Alicetc.

I have been working my ass off last month. Still got few days to go, sucks...

Working as a bartender ain't no fun. There is something positive about it though- One gets to meet people, foreign people, interesting people, and that what this "loco" likes...

For those who wonder, my friend took it while checking my OM4, people seem not to know analog cameras anymore. No wonder... He did a good job, tho

This will be a short entry. Dedicated to my friend Shulda. Great friend of mine who knows a lot about me and doesn't know shit at the same time. She heard something about a girl from Jamaica I have met. So, Petra, let me introduce you to Alice, a beautiful girl born and living in London, having Jamaican dad and English mom. As I hinted in the beginning, we have met in the club I work at and spent few mornings and one sketchy night together, chatting, drinking, having fun. Those, who know me, know...

Alice, hope you don't mind this introduction! You know I wanted to shoot you so bad! You were good in resisting though...

Did not last for long. The food and drinks we got in that arabic place made you forget about my camera, hehe, clever boy, pHeela, bribing women with food.

We had a long discussion about the difference between CRISPS and CHIPS. Very intelectual, indeed.

"Filip, stop saying chipsy chicken!"

The last one sums it up. Cheers everyone, hope you liked my new beautiful londonese friend! She got snapped on Kodak400TX at ISO600, no kiddin. XTOL.

A bonus shot I took on the way to pick Alice up to take her to watch the new David Lynch movie. Embarrasing experience... Anycrap, you cant get the little joke in the photo if you are not czech,sorry. Cheers!

Bitter sweetness

Just a little report from a day after a family party in the city of ZELEZNY BROD where my grandma lives.

Her health is not very satisfying and her daughters (my mum and aunts) know about it. She was happy to see us together on her yard though.

Not a very happy frame

Let's get to some sweet business- my cousin's daughter, Anicka, she is a kid that no photographer would be able to stop snappping...

We had a great shooting session together:D Unforgettable...

Her dad, my cousin, my favorite frame

My grandpa hates being photgraphed. he turns away anytime one takes out any sort of camera... He is the greatest man though, over 90 years old now, still active painter...

This short entry started with a serious frame, it will end with one too- my brother with our beloved grandma.

Snoop Dogg gig tonight, no cameras allowed in though, sucks...

Back from fishing

Just dropping the latest news and one shot.

Oh yeah, this is my best buddy with his biggest trophy- a 98 cm catfish. We planned to have it smoked later at home but my dad accidentally dropped it back to the water. LOL. At least I took this pic...

Anyways, it has been two beautiful nights by the pond in the middle of woods fishing, drinking, talking... great relax. I will start working this weekend so you might hear little less from me. there's a lot to come though, I will try my best, I promise. Stay tuned...

My family goes out!

I promised to introduce my family a little bit. My dad had his bday recently. As usual we picked a restaurant and spent the real european 4 hour lunch with a little surprise in the end. The author- my brother, of course. The comedian...

First is my sister though- with her lil doggie REX. Rex is actually very photogenic, he doesnt stay with us but with my grandma so every time she comes over REX really becomes my sister's property...

Now our little sweet pair, soon married, fo sho:D Haha, bro is gonna kill me. Dont even mention a wedding in front of him!



My bro's soulm8 Uta aus Dettschland. She calls me little cousin, nice.




Father got a very strong home-destilled SLIVOVICE. Dont let the focus mislead you to the czech rum. It was strong...




Father has a new job and he enjoys telling everyone about it. Some people even enjoy listening. Im kidding. Its actually really amusing!




My bro, finally focused, lil underexposed, Id say. He has his own world, musician...




My sis and her dessert. Yummi pancake, oh yeah...



And the teeth afterwards...




Julie again








Finally the surprise. My bro called me beforehead to ask me to bring my XXXL sweats with me... Why? You will see. He ran away earlier from the "lunch" and changed by his car, took the accordeon, gave me papers with lyrics to spread among the family and asked me to bring em out. So they came, laughed but followed the instructions and there we were- crazy family, in the middle of a parking lot, singing a great czech song under the amazing lead of the great farmer looking accordeon player, my brother David. Craziness... Is there any other family doing shit like this?






I have problems witg rolling the film to the next frame- I might not put the films in my camera well. Still, some of the part double exposures make nice sense:)







This is it for now. Some of you might never check this blog again, hahaha. come on! we are a normal, ok, slightly crazy family, but we love each other!

Cesky Krumlov

Hello family, friends, anonymous's etc. This blog is *an attachment* to my deviantArt page. Both sites will cooperate with each other, copy each other, hate each other... but most of all, they will be run by this guy...

...ME


Since I got a new scanner I will be uploading mostly FILM pics here. Ive been shootin only film recently. So much to improve. Most of my images are underexposed, not focused correctly, developped badly. Well, you will see...
Just enjoy this blog, learn about my friends, family and myself, of course.

Last trip with my class after our succesful graduation


-CESKY KRUMLOV-


We had a transfer in Ceske Budejovice...



Some stranger was alone by the map, pointing at different places all the time...wtf



Hehe, a typical Czech taxi driver, lol. Yes, thats him(her?)




Nazi victims memorial at the railway station, strange.

Chicas a la oktava! Haha this is the train that took us to Krumlov. 30 degrees, no air-co, nice.



Haha, Vojta aka. Flavio aka. Myslivec, aka. MEAT lover!




Two bad boys, two best friends, two bitches "caught in action"!



Eating lil tom's, yummi!



Ciza is "the sportsman", always talking about sports (or women). Ok, I call him encyclopedia for his strange habit to know everything...



Kaja and the greatest frame from that trip



Hehe, I smashed a fly thats been disturbing me during that hot-ass journey. Isnt really visible, but it looked gross (and dead).




Arrived to Krumlov, hello!




Ehm, typical Czech woman outfit...



Close to our funny-named hostel RYBA (fish) this guy had his own spot on the edge of a bridge. He didnt like me. but he liked his wine and the tatoo place nearby:)



Since it was the after graduation trip all of us had our class tee's on. Designed be my friend and me! Hehehe, shiny shit. This is onlya a part of my class though.



We went for a "fancy" dinner in a very Czech style- litres of beer, kilos of meat. YES! It was too dark in there, so nothing really came out. This is a very cute couple...



This is the last frame, very symbolic indeed. We were warming up for that crazy night- Absinth. It ended up badly for me. Fortunately I left my camera at RYBA. Im telling you-you would not like to see what was going on...
