I was born in the royal town of Beroun in Central Bohemia, at the age of about five I moved with my mother to Kladno, where I live with my wife, son and two cats, where I also went to primary school. I became a bookbinder in magical Prague and got a high school education. Since 1989, I have been reporting for print dailies, weekly and monthly magazines and online media. After the birth of my son, I sell electronics. I worked most of my life in Prague. I love the smell of new books, river named Berounka and my hometown, photography and nature. I am actively interested in history, especially the Celts and, of course, my family.
Constant stress, lack of sleep, depression and poor eating habits caused my brain to collapse in January 2020. The body said enough. I had got Covid 19 in October 2020. I'm trying to get out of the consequences. I had to learn a lot of things again, including speaking. I have problems with increased heart rate and pain, sometimes I have problems breathing and tapping my hands. But I'm not giving up! I take a lot of pills, I go for regular health walks, especially in nature, where a Nikon SLR camera helps me improve my health. Thanks to YouPick, I can be in touch with photos from all over the world. I'm grateful for any photo I can take, for any feedback.
