About me

About me
I am a chemist (PhD, DSc, etc.), semi-retired, trying to make it as a photographer. Born in Prague, with about 20 years in US, I'm now back in Prague almost full time.

Why Prague
I have traveled the world quite a bit (never been to Antarctica) but Prague is so unique that I was always excited to come back here. There is a plethora of places where tourists will always congregate, but you can find beautiful places worth visiting which are not mentioned in books by Lonely Planet, and where you will enjoy being without too many people taking selfies.

Where else can you find me online?
