We were in Prague in 2002, just before the floods.

Welcome to Prague

Prague, the capital city of the Czech Republic, is a treasure trove of history and culture, renowned for its picturesque beauty and architectural marvels. Known as the 'city of a hundred spires', Prague's skyline is dotted with historic church spires, which stand tall above the city's cobblestoned streets and beautiful bridges like the iconic Charles Bridge. This bridge is a must-see, featuring stunning views of the Vltava River and adorned with an array of statues that add to its historic ambiance.

The city thrives with a vibrant arts scene, showcasing a range of performances from classical concerts in grand palaces to modern shows at the State Opera or National Theatre. Visitors are encouraged to experience the richness of Prague's cultural offerings which reflect the city's historical journey through the centuries.

Walking through Prague is like stepping back in time, with its well-preserved castles, Baroque and Gothic cathedrals, and medieval squares that tell stories of its past. Yet, the city is not caught in time; it is dynamic, with transformed run-down areas now hosting fine restaurants, stylish hotels, and lively bars and clubs, ensuring that visitors can enjoy both the historical and contemporary sides of Prague.

When exploring, it’s recommended to wear comfortable shoes suitable for walking on cobblestones and to dress in layers to navigate the city's mid-continental climate, which can range from warm summers to chilly winters.

Overall, the essence of Prague lies in its ability to merge its illustrious past with the vibrant pulse of a modern European city. Whether it's the architectural wonders, the rich history, or the buzzing nightlife, Prague offers an experience that is both deeply rooted in tradition and excitingly contemporary.

<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/196207616@N08/54776653502/" title="Leica Monopan 50"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54776653502_42dc18f555_m.jpg" width="159" height="240" alt="Leica Monopan 50" /></a></p>

<p>Leica Monopan 50 is a classic black-and-white film — and when I say “classic,” I mean a true throwback to the 1950s. It stands out for its high contrast, exceptional sharpness, and impressive ability to capture an incredible amount of detail. With its ISO 50 sensitivity, it delivers beautifully fine grain but requires careful exposure metering. It tends to slightly “blow out” the highlights, and when looking at the scanned results, some of the shots almost felt like they were taken on infrared film. <br />
<br />
These photographs were created in collaboration with Leica Boutique - Prague — huge thanks for the trust and the opportunity! It was an honor to test the film, and I hope you’ll enjoy the photos!<br />
