Went to Prague Proms at the Municipal House tonight--Prague's gorgeous Art Nouveau theater. We had some champagne beforehand in the theater and watched all the well-dressed people stroll in. The performer was a Norwegian singer and her band plus the Prague National Orchestra (or something like that)--she wasn't that amazing or anything--but the setting was great.
Earlier today--we met up with a new photographer, Miro Svolick who showed us his works and then had us experiment with taking silhouettes of objects that we might then be able to incorporate into photo collages later. Our assignment for Thursday is to come up with a concept for a book cover. We are to use the human body and paint, colors, even flour if we want to paint or shade the background we are working with (which will be somewhere out in the outside environment...)
One thing that was really cool about seeing his life's works was that his earlier photos are of walls that contain either damaged or rusty paint/stucco, etc. This is the type of thing I like to take pictures of now. It's all about texture and shading. So, I am going to show him some of mine and see what he says in terms of critiquing them.
Must sleep!
