I scaned roll 2002-51 exposed in Christmass time of 2002. I add few shots
from that roll into last roll section. Take
a look and if you have some comments, let me know.

Maybe you know there is a special atmosphere at night railway station.
Those huge lights, lighting rails and strange people slowly moving around
waiting for train or for place to sleep. Very quiet often changed for
incredible loud noise of fast passing goods train. So, it was about two a
clock morning when I saw this man without lower part of legs going in
station hall to sleep. When I saw how he is moving up the stairs I did
quite few shots. After I went behind him to the station hall I found him
going to sleep on one of hidden benches in darker side. I didn't made a
single shot there, I was just shocked too much.
|
Next day I visit few of those small houses before and after railway station
where rail man is setting up connection between different tracks and who
knows what else they doing there. In this one I spent some time and I get
this nice shot. I like it horse shoe as symbol for luck, with rail man
checking something through the window.

This shot was choose by Andrej Ban as my best in the week workshop I had
with him back in 1996 and it was published in Czech magazine Reflex. This
is a bit posed as when I start shooting, he start doing all those poses as
a super star. I like composition of rail tracks and dramatic sky with
electric wires.
|
Andrej B?as far as I remember also liked this one and he particularly liked
same structure in machine and roof of building behind a man.
|
And this one was my favorite. Maybe I was again tired of all the people
around and I shoot few railway still lives :-) as this block break and
railway wheel.
|
I was taking quite a few shots of kids playing on snow. But the light was
really bad, very flat light as everything was under clouds, no shadow
nothing. This one is nice. They are so in a game you can see it on their
faces. It is fun!

Our kids made this snowman when we arrived at my wife's parents.
Temperature that time was about -17C. After two days it went up to +2C and
this was rest of their snowman. I really like the shadow of the tree. It
was exposed at morning, as you can see on snowman's shadow.
|
I just can't resist walking on bright freezing mornings, first across
village and than to the fields. Great sharp Sun was creating a lot of nice
views and I found this one. Old wood house.
