I really liked the this essay was set up, the choice of music and photographs. I would really love to see more essays with Josef Koudelka as I find his photographs very interresting. /Mads

From this series of images it shows the Human quality about people against the government. In the images it shows the emotions, reactions, and also reveals the human quality from the being until the end. Josef Koudelka is fully expressed the way of his feeling visually with an artistic point of view.

Great web-site. It is some of the modern hotels in Prague on the background of the picture ?
