We see what we want to see

By Petra Pavlátková 2019-08-11 2019-09-07  Italy, my reflections

A brain is such a smart thing and helps us a lot but sometimes it makes a fool of us. Once I read an interesting article about how brain processes signals it gets from our eyes. The brain is capable of adding missing parts, e.g. of what is at our …

Good photo or bad

By Petra Pavlátková 2019-07-02 2019-09-07  my reflections

Sometimes opinions about a photo can differ quite a lot. Let’s take the following photograph. When I asked my husband to give me his opinion on the photo, he told me that it’s just yellow, no more added value. He didn’t find anything interesting in it worthy of looking twice …

Behind the mask

By Petra Pavlátková 2019-05-31 2019-09-07  my reflections, triptych

The other day I was passing a parked car and was rather startled by a smiling face with empty eyes “sitting” inside the car. When having looked properly, I found out it was just a mask attached to the front headrest. I was delighted to have my camera at hand …

Pink hen and flowers

By Petra Pavlátková 2019-04-19 2019-09-07  my reflections, still life, triptych

A few weeks ago, when I was thinking about what kind of photos I would like to focus on this year, I was thinking about returning to still life and its creativity. A few days ago, when I was thinking about spring and Easter, I was thinking about creating something …

Be fearless

By Petra Pavlátková 2018-11-28 2019-09-07  motivational, my reflections

Do you pay attention to what words or ideas people can read on your clothes? I love T-shirts of many kinds but I dismissed many of them just because of what was written on their front or back, even though I loved their design. Last week I bought a T-shirt …

(In)appropriate

By Petra Pavlátková 2018-10-30 2019-09-07  my reflections

My mother used to tell me that underwear is not to be seen on a washing line and taught me to hang it behind other clothes so that it was hidden. It stuck to my mind so firmly that even after all those years I follow this rule and would …

Unexpected meeting

By Petra Pavlátková 2018-07-23 2019-09-07  dreams, my reflections

It happened a few days ago. There were many people standing in that place talking to one another. Like in a party or exhibition opening. I was present there too, watching the event I knew nothing about, when suddenly I recognised a face amid all the unknown people that was …

In black and white

By Petra Pavlátková 2018-04-10 2019-09-07  black and white, Marian Jelínek, my reflections, quotes

It’s spring, right? Birds are singing, first flowers are showing their beauty, some trees and bushes are coming into buds. And yet my photos for this week are black and white and I love their colourless but thoughtful stories. I took both of them on Sunday during our photo walk …

Along that road

By Petra Pavlátková 2018-03-07 2019-09-07  my reflections

I walked along that road. It was winding through the forest up and down, up and down. After some time I arrived at a crossroads where I found out that I was on the right road but was going in the wrong direction. I realised that there were some indications …

Permission to photograph

By Petra Pavlátková 2018-02-06 2019-09-07  Horšovský Týn, my reflections

On Sunday my hubby and I visited Horšovský Týn, the town we assigned to February in our photo project. It was a cold but sunny day and provided for a great photo walk. We enjoyed it thoroughly but three times we ran into a situation we had to deal with …
