A Street car named Darling!

One of the most famous Cabarets in Prague – The Darling Cabaret. Located in the heart of the city at Vaclavaske Namesti; its patrons are mainly British and Indian tourists who are on weekend stag tours. The tall vertical colourful neon signboard is like a lighthouse reaching out far and wide. As if the glow of neon wasn’t enough they have a special promotion package-a limousine to fetch you right at your doorstep, if you are too lazy to venture out because of the minus 10 degree cold.

I managed to get hold of my old hard drive and dug out more pictures of Europe 2002. I took all the pictures then on negatives as digital SLRs weren’t around or I didn’t hear about them. Great for me! Because when I compare these pictures with the images of DSLR – there is a vast difference. Really! There is so much information buried in the negative that barring extremely high-end digital SLRs none of them come close to the Film. So, it has prompted me to go back to the film format Camera.

I went to Flora Fountain last week and enquired about Nikon FM 2. After couple of hours and 8-10 shops later I did find a Nikon FM2 in a good shape. The metal body has very little scratches and the functioning was superb. I also managed to find Nikkor 1.4 opening manual lens too. So, it works fine. Hope to get the first roll of black and white from process soon.
