I am a vulture too…

At Ziua Mamelor de Inger I found interesting to observe how the photographers were pouncing over "cute" subjects (kids playing), just like vultures over their prey.

But I am a vulture too: I stumbled upon some people crying and hugging and my first reaction (old habit?) was tu torn away and give them some privacy. But then I went like: WTF! I am a photographer! I can’t leave the decisive moment pass… if they want privacy they shouldn’t do this in public, at an event where media is invited…

Ziua Mamelor de Ingeri, Bucharest, 2009

Bucharest is a relatively peaceful city, with not many interesting opportunities for photojournalism (boring photojournalism is …boring), so I am not trained at that and when I get to take such shoots, like here at "Ziua Mamelor de Ingeri" ("Angel’s Mothers Day"), where I was invited by Bianca Brad, I take mostly portraits and candids, what I know and what I like.
