Laura Silvester:  A Semester In Prague

These photographs, all held close to my heart, document some of the most beautiful things I

saw during my time traveling in Europe. Although I can safely say that this time was one of the

hardest times of my life, I would never have changed any of it. Through homesickness, recurring

strep throat, living where they do not speak your language, eating foreign foods, struggling with

academics, and trying to see as much of the world as possible in such a short time period,  I

matured in many ways. Prague was the most beautiful city in the world and taught me more

about myself than I could have ever learned from seeing the world.  This foreign and challenging

environment nurtured my artistic growth. Making art was one of the things most familiar to me

here. I had the chance to visit five different nations during my nearly four month stay, where I

chose to express myself through taking digital photographs. I experimented with camera

settings, lighting, exposure times, f-stops and then manipulation with Adobe Photoshop. I am

pleased with the results of my efforts, with a variety of different fun, and beautiful photos. The

works I included were carefully selected from a large body of works that I built, half coming from

my work creating an alphabet book for Computer Art II, and the second half, a selection of my

favorite photographs taken throughout my travels.
