Jana, the photographer

It is a well-known fact that I like neither taking pictures nor being on the pictures. I simply prefer to live the moment and enjoy it than to "smile and wave" and ruin the atmosphere. Sure it's nice to have pictures, but not if I have to take them. Anyway, time to time I am forced by circumstances to take the camera and use it. And even then I do nothing more than pushing the button. I have no clue about composition or camera settings. So imagine my amusement when I got this Flickr e-mail:

Hi Jana,
I am writing to let you know that two of your photos have been short-listed for inclusion in the fourth edition of our Schmap Prague Guide, to be published early January 2008. (...)
While we offer no payment for publication, many photographers are pleased to submit their photos, as Schmap Guides give their work recognition and wide exposure, and are free of charge to readers. (...)

So yeah, I am a published photographer now. You can admire my work somewhere here.
