Stepan, apologies been off-air overnight. I'll take another stab at ordering that book today. What was I doing in Prague in 1983? Primarily taking a look at Sudek's city. I was drawn to the country through other photographers, artists and composers too. I had a terribly difficult time tracing anything about Sudek. Even at the museums, staff were astonished that I was interested. Museum work seemed to consist of keeping everything under wraps.

 

Prague was fascinating at that time, and the surrounding countryside was beautiful. I wouldn't want to go back, for all the reasons you mention, which were an obvious cost of opening up to the west.

Hi, The title "From my studio window" is a series of photos that sudek took during his later years and not a book (as of yet). Along with that series are "labyrinths" and a few other exquisite series of photos. The "Sad Landscape" series was one of 3 panoramic series that hopefully will be published someday. Apparently two other such studies of his beloved country were in maquette form at the time of his death. The "studio window" series is well represented in several books, the large "Favrova" volume and the beautifully printed monograph by Sonia Bullaty. Also the small Photo Poche edtion on Sudek is very well printed and heavily draws from the window series. It's about $15. Thanks, Steve Roberts
