Prague is where a lot of this habit really took hold. St. Vitus Cathedral rising over the castle grounds, Charles Bridge in the early light before the crowds arrive, the astronomical clock still keeping time the way it has for centuries — this is a city where almost every direction you point a camera turns into something worth keeping.
What I keep coming back to, though, isn't just the postcard shots. It's the rooftops of Malá Strana leading the eye toward the castle, the quiet weight of the Jewish Quarter's synagogues and old cemetery, the narrow streets that don't show up on any list but end up being the photos I'm proudest of. This gallery is a walk through all of it — the famous and the overlooked, side by side.
