Nadrazi Holesovice Franze Kafky Sign, Prague, CZ, 2009

2009


Since I've made albums for 2007 and 2008, and figured I should make one for 2009 also, even if 2009 wasn't nearly as interesting a year. Maybe the most interesting development in 2009 is that I got my first cameraphone, and while I still consider film far superior, more photos than ever this year (read...any at all) were digital.
