Today, 11 January, in Romania is officially celebrated the photography day, this is established in the memory of Carol Popp de Szathmary, the first Romanian photographers and one of the photography pioneers of the world. There is a week ahead full of photography related events and it started today with the fourth edition of the Bucharest Art Photographer Salon.
After last year participation, I submitted photos again this year and three of them were accepted. On top of that, one was rewarded with a honorable mention, that’s is, one of the 6 prizes awarded in the salon. Not bad.

In photography light painting means something totally different, still the lights there do really look like brush strokes in a painting and I like to play on words. On the other hand… what did I shoot here?

Mother Uța

I meet her a couple of years ago during a trip to old cave monasteries, but I heard stories about Mother Uța even before that. She had her house next to the Corbii de Piatra monastery, a less known but quite famous in some circles touristic place and a few attractions, including a stone raven (Corbii de Piatra means Stone Ravens) is practically in her backyard. So almost everybody visiting the monastery was visiting her too and she was very friendly, talking with the visitors, posing for the photographers and so on.
Today I learned (from the monastery’s Facebook page, no less) she is no more. This made me dig from the old pictures from March 2012, find an unpublished one with mother Uța, who at the time was 80, edit and post it. Remembering thing and people is one of the things photography is good for.

If the New Year fireworks in the IOR park were far from spectacular, at least the general night view of the park had something to offer

This year again I spent the New Year night around the house, so for the fireworks I went to the nearby park, here the lights show was lame, as expected, to match our lame local mayor (Sector 3). Protip: in Bucharest, for proper fireworks go to Piata Constitutiei.
