\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

As a fine art black and white street photographer travelling to Prague last week opened my eyes to the possibilities hidden in plane sight happening everyday. I had no real expectations about how excited I might be to experience its historic buildings and the unique atmosphere I\u2019d encounter while walking the city\u2019s streets. Every morning, despite sometimes feeling a bit rusty, I set out at sunrise with my preferred camera, handheld of course, and beginning at Charles Bridge before wandering off in whichever direction caught my interest in search of what the beautiful city had to offer. The photographic experience was at times wonderful as I meet some interesting people and found some unusual timeless scenes to explore with my camera.<\/strong><\/div>\n

My lovely mum asked me what my take-home thoughts were from the trip as we waited for the Sunday roast to finish cooking on the day we arrived back from the airport.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After a moment\u2019s contemplation, I said that before anything is matter, it exists as energy. It made me realise that what I\u2019ve really been trying to photograph is the \u2018energy feeling\u2019\u2014the essence that gives rise to the matter we see in the physical scene.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Later, I discovered that Einstein once lived in Prague! \ud83d\ude42 Food for thought anyway..<\/strong><\/p>\n

Peace Love Namaste <\/strong><\/p>\n
