Swing

The baby is happily playing in the swing. The shadow seems equally happy.

Bridge crossing

“I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it” – it seems the time is now

Shooting session

When is the best time for a shooting session? They know and use the warm light before sunset. Still, there are a few more tricks they could learn.

Pairs on the bridge

The same bridge, two totally different pairs walking on it.

Piece of bread

The beggar (the old woman) is using a classical tactic: begging in front of a food store (here is a pretzels store), so people feel ashamed and give her something. The younger woman is a business outfit, instead of money (“to buy some food”) get herself a pretzel and give it to the beggar. Just to be sure is not misused.

Best of luck, Iulia!

My friend Iulia is these days in Bangkok, Thailand, as a contestant in the Miss Grand International beauty contest. I am sure she is having plenty of fun there and a wonderful experience and I wish her best of luck in the contest. Note: for those interested, there is also a popular vote (for which one has to “like” a Facebook page and also provide an email address).

Unfortunately, not everything is perfect: the organizers picked a less than ideal picture of her for the presentation and our special shooting came a bit too late, so they used some stuff from Iulia’s Facebook profile. Nothing unusual. Unfortunately, nothing unusual happened when the news hit the Romanian media: Adevarul, a national newspaper, wrote about it. They also used a picture taken from Facebook, this time from a car-themed shooting and, as one can expect from the lame Romanian journalists, they credited the picture to Facebook. Not to the model, not to her employer, not to the contest, not even to the photographer but to Facebook, like it is a stock photography agency. And as a proof of their bad faith, the newspaper cropped-out from the picture a discrete watermark by the photographer. This the level of our press and not the first time I witness it first hand.

Update: …and it worked 🙂 The newspaper article in Adevarul is now edited with some more appropriate credits and more pictures

Leaves

Night, lamp post, leaves, autumn. Warm light and strange shape.

No storm

This is no storm, just an innocent cloud in the dramatic sunset light

Chaos

The birds, they move apparently chaotic, every one on his own direction.
