Love on the beach

“Am plecat la Vama Veche
Ca sa imi gasesc pereche
Am ajuns la Vama Veche
Si sunt apucat de streche
Stau pe plaja-n Vama Veche
Si-am sarutul in ureche
Doar pe plaja-n Vama Veche
Noi totï vom avea pereche.”
Vama Veche – Vama Veche

Morning in Vamă

The nights in Vama Veche are really long and hard so the morning are, obviously, even harder.

Papanași

For a good while I was waiting to get to Caru’ cu Bere in Bucharest: a friend talked about the papanași there, allegedly one of the best you can get, and another was talking about the beautiful interior decorations. At last I got there, tried the food (pictured below), but didn’t try the interior, it was a warm summer evening, just good to stay outside. A next time should follow.

Trash the Dress in Vama Veche

Photography wise, the wedding is a first step, it should better continue with trashing the dress, as I did last week in Vama Veche, at the sea side, with my friends Andeea and Alex.

Indian play

I expect my readers who are actually Indians to go ballistic on me for the title, but is not my fault, my fellow photographer, Flori, and the model, Mia, set the idea, theme, accessories and details of this shot, I just happened to be around and take photos. And the clothing, jewellery and hand painting are of Indian inspiration.

Into the sunset

Lately I got into a strange spree of shooting sunsets, I am fully aware it is cliché but what can I do when the sunset is in front of me and I have the camera handy? Look trough the viewfinder and press the shutter… sue me! 😀

ARTmania 2011: the clouds

Probably this is the most unexpected part in my series about ARTmania, a picture of the sky… I noticed the wonderful color of the sunset and the weird clouds, but it was until Silvia pointed the tank when I noticed the battle in the sky, complete with a helicopter, a missile and a sea of red.

ARTmania 2011: the streets

I reported about music and people what else is next? The streets, of course:

ARTmania 2011: the people

So there is a music (metal) festival in the city, there also have to be people too, some of them for the event, some not. Capturing them is a must for the photographer:

ARTmania 2011: the music

This year I attended ARTmania as a photographer sent by Studio Rock, so with the press pass I had better access to take my photos. And as a metal festival is mostly about the music, this first post will be about the music (some other stuff will follow), there are the bands:

lacrimas profundere
Lacrimas Profundere

helloween
Helloween

tarja turunen
Tarja Turunen

republica
Republica

sonata arctica
Sonata Arctica

lacuna coil
Lacuna Coil

And, of course, there were rockers. Many of them:

Wiki Loves Monuments

Ramping-up the launch of the Wiki Loves Monuments contest (Free photography for Wikipedia):

Stay tuned.


Stand Your Ground

On Tuesday 21 June 2011 six photographers were assigned different areas of the City to photograph. Some used tripods, some went hand held, one set up a 5 x 4.

All were instructed to keep to public land and photograph the area as they would on a normal day. The event aimed to test the policing of public and private space by private security firms and their reaction to photographers.

All six photographers were stopped on at least one occasion. Three encounters led to police action.

This is what happened.

Life goes…

Life goes at full speed, so many opportunities passes by, so many trains are lost (from the session with Iulia at the rail roads).

Never mess with the Romanian army!

Saturday I was invited to take pictures at the graduation ceremony of the Technical Military Academy in Bucharest, class of 2011. Keep in mind, they are not only officers, they are also engineers (specialised in various fields, from rocketry to computers and intelligence)… so they will not only kick your butt, but your brains too… if need be.

On the tracks

Last week I had a photo session with Iulia near the railroads (more photos will come in later posts) in this unexpected place inside the city (yes, still inside the Bucharest city limits). See, she can be sad, happy, hopeful… and always sexy.
