There is an old saying, “the forest is the Romanian’s brother” (ro: “codru-i frate cu românul”), which I feel like paraphrasing today, “the mic is the Romanian’s brother” (ro: “micu-i frate cu românul”), where mici is a very traditional Romanian food (a kind of sausages) which most of the time is accompanied by beer.

The naive painter of this old wooden church from a Romanian village had his own vision on hell and the tortures people getting there will have to endure. The painting is hundreds of years old and made on wood, so it became pretty damaged, which is a shame, but you still can understand it and have a good laugh.

If Superman had a side-kick, who would that be? Lois Lane? Jimmy Olsen? Wonder Woman? (the long list can continue). Or it would be a little beast some may call “a dog”?

This crappy song became a huge hit in Romania, titled “I don’t sleep in the summer” it was used even for political parodies. Back in Vama Veche, on the beach, I saw this tent with a message fitting it pretty much “this is not for seep, sex only”.

There is a thought, supposedly anything you shoot at the golden hour looks better (beautiful?), so I want to test this hypothesis. True or false?

Last Friday in the very center of Bucharest, on the fence of the Bucharest Museum (very close to Piața Universității) opened a new photo exhibition I am part of: Freeze in the summer hot (Ger in arșita verii).

The seller was shouting “nu dați banii pe prostii, luați cîrnați pentru copii” which translated from Romanian to English is something along the lines of “don’t throw your money away of craps, buy sausages for your children”, but with rhyme. I was knowing it with “candies” instead of “sausages”.

Seeing the camera pointed at her, the old lady said “take the picture, nobody know how long I will still be around, so take it as long as you can.” I took the picture and I’m making it eternal.
