acquainted with Prague \| September 12, 2009 During an evening stroll through Prague, I paused in the middle of the sidewalk to capture this shot. For a few reasons, while I was at this place and time in Prague, I was reminded of the great poem by Robert Frost (my favourite poet) called “Acquainted with the Night,” which I recite from memory: I have been one acquainted with the night. I have walked out in rain -- and back in rain. I have outwalked the furthest city light. I have looked down the saddest city lane. I have passed by the watchman on his beat And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain. I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet When far away an interrupted cry Came over houses from another street, But not to call me back or say good-bye; And further still at an unearthly height, O luminary clock against the sky Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right. I have been one acquainted with the night. I will post another image tomorrow, but after tomorrow, I will most likely take a one to two week break from posting images (to be explained in tomorrow's entry). For now, I recommend checking out these posts: “Reaching Out” - about helping someone with photography “Worthy of Exploration” - where I (try to) answer the question “What is a photographer?” “The Cost of Something” - where I discuss the benefits of sharing at (virtually) zero cost
