Nijikon was a good opportunity to meet old friends, to make new ones, and with so many friends around and costumes ready, we had to take photos around the convention, as those where Yume is cosplaying her favorite J-rocker, Ruki from The Gazette:

Nijikon 2011

Nijikon is the anime fans convention which takes place every October in Romania. I had to go there and compared with last year I managed to post some pics (well, I have plans to follow with more on them). What is the central point of such a convention? The costumes and the cosplay, of course, so I will stop talking and show some pics with costumes – part of them are from the official contest, part are just visitors, all of them having best of fun there.

Of course there were many more of them, but I don’t want to spoil my readers :p

Cold weather, dim light and plenty of warm earthy colors: is again that time of the year, the autumn did come.

Remember the old Indian play shooting? It was the time for a continuation, with the same model Mia, now indoors at Ramayana Cafe, where we played a bit more with this theme.

I spent another night with Abigail. And I fear it? No! It Is The Night I Fear is the name of the EP they launched yesterday evening at Elephant Pub in Bucharest, which they filed with doom metal and, of, course, fans. Grooooowl!!!

A week ago I returned from a trip in Milano for the Fedora conference, a good opportunity for me to see the city, walk around and take pictures. Will start posting with the most famous building of it, Il Duomo, of which I took photos by day and night:

Went on the inside:

And on it’s top:

And also captured some action (ass grabbing) in front of it::

My night with Abigail

If you expect a hot, steamy, story, you will get disappointed, Abigail is a doom metal band and I helped them with a photography project, doing some, obviously, gloomy, dark pictures (wait for their upcoming website) in an old building which used to be the royal stables before WW2 and the secret police dungeon during the communist regime:

And after that, they went to the studio to repeat a bit for their upcoming concert on Tuesday, I joined them, assisted and even took a few pictures. Gloomy can be fun 😀

Now that the Wikipedia campaign closed, is the time for the next step, judging the photos, and the jury started to work on that. See, even the diplomas are ready:

It may be lame to talk much about it, but it was my first time to have a picture printed, framed and hanged to the wall of an exhibition which people actually come to see. And there also was an exhibition opening, with food and drinks and people looking and talking, it was… like real.

Bucharest in black and white

Today is the opening of the “Bucharest in black and white” (Bucureștiul în alb și negru) photo gallery, where I qualified with one picture, the one below. Is open until the end of the month, so come and see us at Cărturești:

bucurestiul in alb si negru

While black and white is not exactly my thing, I have adjusted myself to follow the rules, And also had to adjust the framing, while I usually do 3:2, the rules here were 4:3 or 1:1, so unusual color space, unusual framing. Hope I didn’t sucked too much.

Part of the Wiki Loves Monuments campaign, we had this week-end an event called “Wiki Takes Bucharest” (it also happened in many other European cities), gathering together 7 contributors walking for a couple of hours trough the city and taking pictures of historical monuments for Wikipedia. I made a more in-depth account of it on my blog. It was fun and, I hope, productive:

For the last week-end of the Bucharest Days for 2011, on the stage on Lipscani street they had a Spanish group, named Malasangre5 (is this the 5 bad bloods? they were only 4…) singing and dancing flamenco, and they were not bad at all:
