Photo comic strip with GIMP and Inkscape

After taking the photos you may want to do some more than just looking at them, like, why not, create a comic strip, so here is a tutorial for doing this with GIMP and Inkscape:

A bug’s life

Dill (mărar) in my garden, a bug having fun time with it…

A symphony of flavors

After seeing the awesome cherries before, aren’t you hungry yet? If not, here’s a fruity mix for you: strawberries, raspberries, sour cherries and a few mint leaves. All except the strawberries are from my garden, so they are natural, tasty, flavored and totally awesome (and even the strawberries are the best I had this year so far).

My sweet cherry pie…

OK, those are not regular cherries, they are sour cherries (Romanian: vișine) so they are not just sweet but sour and sweet and with a kick-ass flavor (harvested from my garden), making them even better for a cherry pie.

Fedora 11

a bit of utilitarian photography: we "launched" Fedora 11 in Romania: beer, geeky talks and even geek girls.

Fruit p0rn

After posting some real porn (and waiting to post some more), maybe is the time for a different kind of porn: fuit close-ups, so close they become almost indecent:

Raspberries / Zmeura Sour cherries / Visine

And the taste was even better, they are harvested from my hargen, 100% natural and absolutely delicious.

Daisies

One of the things I wanted to shoot was some daisies but finding only a few dried ones I started to worry about a missing opportunity. Until Saturday, when walking in the Herastrau Park I noticed the daisies, not some great ones but good enough for photography.

Now am I supposed to do something with its petals?

Eroshow 2009: the pornstars

It took a while since I promised more photos from Eroshow and they are only a few, I was little motivated by the unexpectedly weak reaction after the first set.

I will follow with some portraits and still pondering about pussies (yeah, there are some of those too).

Eroshow 2009: photos galore

Of course I couldn’t miss the opportunity to shoot at the 2009 edition of Eroshow, the yearly erotic show in Bucharest. Since I have thousands of photos, it will take a while to select and publish, so the event will be covered by a few (many?) posts. I’ll start slowly with photos from the booths. Of course there were some slutty girls in there, giving you a flyer, showing a boob, selling a dildo, getting customers:

But surprisingly there were some excessively cute babes as well, with an innocent look, almost like out-of place in there:

Traditional Romanian and the rural metropolis of Bucharest

Do not get fooled by the look with grass, weeds and flowers, this image is from inside the city of Bucharest, a large European metropolis but with large rural tendencies: you will see crosses on the street where people died due an accident (or like here next to the railroads), even if it is in the middle of the city.

Update: the high resolution of the photo(s) here were lost in an unfortunate accident(human error made by be) and a bit later the only copy remaining (resized for web use, hosted on flickr) was deleted by the yahoo bastards. I am very sad about the lost content, but is out of my control. My only hope is I will be able to replace them with more and better shots.

Linen tree blossom: another honeymaker

We know the Black Locust flowers are used for honey making, but also the Linded tree blossom are used for a popular variety of honey. Now here is the dilemma: you can use linden flowers for a nice herbal tea, so you sweeten the linden tea with linden honey or with black locust honey?

Blue chicory

Some time ago I set myself the target to try shooting a chicory flower as best an I can so a few days ago in the morning, I saw from the windows of the tram a chicory bush on the side of the road. It was to late to try something that day, and in the evening when returning was already too dark. The next day I was in a rush, so skipped again, but the third day I finally took the shoot: left the home earlier, walked instead of using the tram and enjoyed the photoshot:

I got the opportunity to remake this shot.

Poppy head

Lately I tried a few shoots of poppy flowers, but yesterday morning I had the opportunity for a composition about this. Made just in front of my house, early in the morning when leaving for work.

Booth babe me

So it’s life, you usually shoot both babes, but sometime the wheel is turning around and you are the "booth babe". Good thing I wasn’t caught in embarrassing posture with pantyshots or worse :p

eLiberatica 2009: selling Fedora

Being at the conference, I used the opportunity and tries some thematic portraits:

Rose garden, my garden

Lately I posted a lot of rose photos (and will continue to do so). Why? because my garden (backyard and not only) is full of those flowers, see below:
