Free Hugs

Need a hug?

free hugs

Maybe you will be able to get one for free… (last Saturday a bunch of kids gathered in the Herastrau park of Bucharest to give free hugs)

Colored eyes

This contact lenses photo session was in the planning for a long time and last week-end the client (is made for an online store selling cosmetic contact lenses) finally made it happen. For the final product the images won’t be used like this, but as crops closed to the eyes, to better show the products. But we don’t sell stuff here, this is about beauty…

Walking on Calea Victoriei

On the route to Bucharest Music Film Festival in the beautiful light before the sunset and having the wide lens ready… you have to take the pics:

Bucharest Music Film Festival

These days the city is hosting the Bucharest Music Film Festival right in the city center, at Piața Revoluției, in front of the Atheneum and the National Art Museum. As the name says, the main feature is classical music:

A lot of people, of various ages and backgrounds, are attending every day:

And they seems to enjoy it:

I enjoyed it too once this week, if time and schedule allows, maybe I will do it again.

Kissing Howto

In the past I poster how-tos and tutorials, but none of them is like this one. Enjoy. And learn!

That light

I don’t think there is any need for words to accompany this picture, just look at its light.

Passing trough Lipscani

It seems I can’t pass trough the old city of Bucharest and keep myself from taking photos, especially in such beautiful light, right before the sunset. Here are a couple of details: a street light and a balcony.

Heavy rain

Saturday the weather was not friendly, cloudy and cold, but since there was something to shoot, I left home anyway, heading for the CiÈ™migiu park, with the hope it will at least stay the same. It wasn’t so, around PiaÈ›a Victoriei it started to rain furiously: hailstone, thunders and lightning.

Getting to the end of the line, I had to leave the bus and get refuge in the bus station, the perfect place to enjoy the rain (over half an hour more), bring out the camera and capture some moments:

Some people were courageous enough to defy the nature, my equipment is not weatherproof, so I had to maintain cover:

Yup, this is a heavy summer rain in the city. Enjoy it. Or not :p

Asphalt Tango

One interesting (and photogenic) thing at the “urban festival” on Mătăsari street was the people dancing tango on the street and wearing street clothes. Not many, but not very few either.

Hipstering on Mătăsari street

With the history and tradition of the Mătăsari street, one linked with sex and prostitution, having an “urban festival” called “at women on Mătăsari” (“la femei pe Mătăsari”) was challenging, and it gathered, as expected, a bunch of people considering themselves “cool” and “edgy”.

Water fight

A hot, scorching summer day, is a perfect day for a water fight:


I had low expectations and they were fulfilled: a bunch of kids running chaotically and throwing water left, fight, front and back.

Basarab passage opening

After much debates and delays, the Basarab passage in Bucharest opened at last! …good opportunity for the current mayor to shamelessly assume the merits, but I digress, this is not a politics blog, we are here to share some photos from the passage opening.

basarab

So it was a parade, the parade was not all about beautiful girls, there were also uniforms:

And bikers with their mighty bikes:

And old cars:
basarab

And, of course, a lot of beautiful girls:

And cheerleaders:
basarab

And don’t forget the virtual kisses:

Now the next step? Curse the traffic on the passage, of course!
