After they were lost in a terrible accident I tried a remake of the blue chicory shot, which was not easy since we are past their season. But I managed to find some, in deep shade where they resisted more, but the light was quite bad. So I don’t really count this as a success.

Following one of my graphic tutorials I got a request from one (supposedly) US girl: she say she lost the originals of some photos and need some help to recover a few who were watermarked by a hosting site.
I decided to not investigate further her identity and motivation and since the images are small and blurry anyway, I tried a bit of fixing with GIMP, nothing fancy, just a few minutes with the clone, shear and maybe the healing tool.

Now being on different continents, I am a bit disappointed I cannot ask her in exchange to work for me as a model in a photo session, I am really look for models at this moment.
I don’t print photos, almost everything I did so far with photography far was for online use only, do I don’t own (and don’t plan to buy) a photo printer. But exceptionally, for a small project, I needed some prints (about 50 photos), so went to the nearest shop (like 5 minutes from my office) with the photos on an USB stick.
Much to my disappointment I was told: “sorry, our USB reader does not work, come again next week”. FTW? Waste a CD for that? I don’t feel like doing that… And I learned from my co-workers this happen often. How hard is to have a working USB port on the computer? Or maybe I got to talk with the stupidest guy on the planet?
Conclusion: if you live in Bucharest, try to avoid Nic Classic if you have something to print.
A second take on the "you must master the wind" lesson and (coincidence?) this is taken minutes and effectively a few meters away (the same part of the Herastrau Park) from the first part, it must be exactly the same nasty wind, as it was the same nasty photographer.

A quick research: the girls walking on the street look better in a formal or casual outfit? Look below:
+1 for formal
+1 for casual
+1 for formal
+1 for casual
… so far is a tie :p I guess is not about the clothes but about who is wearing them.
And now as a bonus something that isn’t either casual nor formal:
A goth girl can be cute too!

This photo, from the park candids set is so close but still failed, it could have been framed a lot better. But there is one thing to learn: you must master the wind and the result is revealing.
PS: still debating with a friend, he is sure she is not wearing any panties, I say there may be a G-string. What’s your take?

A lot of candid things may be captured if you spend a sunny Saturday afternoon in the park. How about when your "prey" notices you and send a smile?
Beside walking, people are skating, taking photos and taking photos while skating:

There was this show in Piata Constituției, like a big commercial for the energy drink, but I figured it can be a good opportunity for some interesting shots, so I visited the place (not only for bikes and acrobatics, but also for some candids, will post later about those).

Indeed, everything is doom and gloom with lost photos and thins like that, so you can’t savour even a peach (be it in literary of figurative sense).
… or that voice in my head saying a peach will make your day brighter is right? I guess that depends on the peach.

Life is not a pony farm and our own stupidity is our worst enemy. The hard drive on my desktop has limited space available so I am using an external drive for storage (I know I am stupid for not having an additional backup, but that’s another story): usually the photos are downloaded from the camera to the desktop, sorted, selected, a few resized and published and after a while I copy them on the external drive and delete from the desktop, to make room for the next batch.
All good until yesterday when trying to make a selection from my old works I discovered almost everything shot in May this year is nowhere to be found. It looks like I made a mistake and deleted before making the copy. I am that stupid at times.
Here are some highlights of the lost files:
Update: That wasn’t all, the curse continued after the yahoo bastards deleted my account and the files were lost for good.
Massive bummer, right?

For quite a while I took a lot of candids and was not sure about publishing some of them… well, a chain of recent conversations with people from various countries and genders made me to change my mind about that.
From a lot of angles Bucharest is a shitty city, this hit me heavily when returning from a short vacancy in Berlin, but still there are a few things on it streets making you feel comfortable at home, here are a few such snapshots gathered over the past year:

So you are a photographer… you have some things to to in the center of he city when a heavy rain, a storm, start falling down. Of course you take out your camera, move into a place where you are covered enough so the rain will not damage the camera or cover the lenses and start shooting left and right. Don’t the wet girls look nice?

Beer: dark, strong, good and plenty of it. Exactly as it should be.

Is awesome to stay out in a nice place, enjoy a good beer and have an entertaining performance from street artists. +1

What’s your favorite type of breakfast, meaty (fried bacon and sausages with tomato and cucumber, pastries and maybe a pineapple slice) or fruity (fat yoghurt, raspberry jam and a fruit assortment)? "Both" is a valid enswer, but I liked the best the combination of jam and yoghurt.
