In 1969 I found myself in a communist jail, where I went after being involved in street fights against the Soviet occupation. It was then and there I finály deciced to become a photographer. I took photos on street, not thinking much about the future.My photos were spapshots of people I just met, but later I created small collections about people in Prague snack joints and night stress, or juvie boys.

It was a time I wanted to start my life as independent as I could be.
And my photographs were to help me..
