Karol Picka is someone who I like to go back to and always experience sense of wonder what central Europe was like only short 100 years ago. And sadness I suppose we didn't get to keep those outfits and hairstyles and much more I'm sure...

Hopefully the above link works! Seems like internet must think a person from West coast Us couldn't possibly be interested in Slovak culture... not very www!

It works, thanks! There is actually a typo in his last name in your original post. That's why I couldn't find him at first. So Picka > Plicka. Really cool photos!

Ah right! That's would explain it! There is guy on ig called @mihnea_turcu who is doing something similar in todays Romania. Also very beautiful. Always makes me wonder how these really poor undeveloped places have done so much better at keeping their culture and makes me.wonder about the meaning of the word "poor".

Nice exchange. I appreciated the photos you shared !
