The first series is called "Kryry May Day". Kryry is a provincial town about 55 miles west of Prague, population about 2,500. As you will see, May Day is still celebrated here in the Czech Republic but it has turned into (or perhaps re-turned to) a carnival. I was specifically interested in the red, hammer-and-sickle, Soviet flags flying here and there. I thought it an anachronism twenty years after the fall of the Soviet bloc. And no doubt there's a strong element of the carnivalesque in it, and yet, and yet... it all depends on who or what is being "carnivalized." I call the second series "Prague Pictures," it's self-explanatory.
