The Romanian word for shine is luciu, so for shiny things what else can I show better than Luciu sisters’ cleavages? …from a wedding dresses fashion parade offered by Sabres Fashion House.

The girls from Trupa Vogue preparing for a fruit dance (samba). It looks delicious, right? The fruits, of course! But don’t try to eat them, behave!

Since other friends are doing it, I will join the meme posting my photo from the past year I like the more… and unexpectedly, is not portraiture/glamour/beauty/fashion/nude as I did a lot over the year (and still sitting on a ton of unpublished stuff, “thanks” to a camp organizer, but not only), but is a landscape made at a computer/community camp, which for me is kind of magic due to its special light and I am still using as a wallpaper on my computers.

I lost faith on many things those days, including in ever getting F64 to ever fix my lens, so in the end I followed my my friend‘s advice and bought a new, better lens – even if I still disagree with her, you can’t buy happiness with money… well, unless is an enormous sum, like 1,000,000€ or such…
And if you know me, you know I’m following the principle “or la bal or la spital” (translation from Romanian: “either at the dance, or at the hospital”) so I went for f/2.8 and a weight that will break my back. Middle way is not an option.
My biggest regret is losing the opportunity to use this gear to capture one of the most beautiful blue eyes I ever saw, every time my gear was incomplete, I missed the opportunity and tried to do the best with what I had available. Not what I wanted. I am sorry.

I agree the burqas are a bad thing and despite being a supporter of individual freedom I pretty much agree with the West European governments that banned them (keeping the discrimination is the greater evil here) so this one was just a play which I think made her eyes look even more beautiful (I bet this was not the intention behind burqa). And too bad you can’t smell the mint plants she’s holding…

A beautiful summer morning in the mountains, with mist and sun rays among the trees, it was nothing less than magic – an unexpected capture at FLOSSCamp 2010. My only regret is there were a couple of fairies nearby, sleeping in the tents, and I didn’t dare to wake them for a shooting.

Keeping my promises is almost like a religion for me but I also am lazy (no point in denying it) so form time to time is useful when my friends push me to deliver, I promised more photos of Carmen, so here they are:

My main lens is till broken at the repair shop (for over a month already) but this evening when I returned home and the daily rain stopped. I couldn’t resist taking a few photos of those roses in my garden with what I had available (I think the roses looks amazing after a rain), so they are imperfect (not the macros I love to do)… but I also wanted them as a thank you/barter for someone who showed me today a much awaited set of photos.

It was a heavy storm in the evening, just before I left the office and then the black clouds cleared a bit for the sun near the horizon, allowing for one of the most beautiful “golden hour” lights I remember but I was in a hurry to get somewhere and did not capture it. A bit later, after I failed the task I had in the city I noticed the beautiful colors of the twilight and this time did use my camera, trying to capture them. Hope you like them too, from the right angle and at the right time Bucharest is not that bad… The bad part is me being completely unprepared: hand held camera and only the 50mm lens with me.

Carmen is a beautiful model and I was fortunate to work with her a couple of times in the past, now she needs a vote. Below are a few of my photos with her, but on the vote page there are some you will probably like more (they are more revealing 😀 – I bet you’ll like those!)
Let me try to encourage my readers: if you vote for her and if she wins, I promise to post more photos from the sets below, so what are you waiting for? Go now and vote for Carmen.

Is summer out there, the sun is hot and bright, we search for protection by wearing sunglasses. This is why I propose today a fun exercise, look at those photos featuring sunglasses I took recently and try to vote which one you like the best. The sunglasses, not the models :D, in fact that’s I find interesting, the people’s ability to disconnect the models (and their cleavages!) from the things they wear.

Yet another photo from Menfest, but this time is not about the hostesses but about the cars (cars are also supposed to me ‘manly’ things):

The second topic I was owing my readers was the Sunday shooting, at Menfest, for which I will try a backwards approach. Because I am odd.
So the show ended with what probably was its most interesting part: a Miss contest, where the winner received a shooting session at the FHM magazine (here the winners are one step in front of the group):

After in the first session I persuaded Andreea to do a good thing for the community and pose with a Fedora T-shirt (first dry and then wet) – and she rightfully was proclaimed a Geek Goddess for that, here is the continuation, where she takes her shirt off (warning: potentially NSFW!) and replaces it with some temporary Fedora tattoos:
I hope you liked this photo session (see the full gallery) just as much I did, now time for thanks: thanks to Andreea for being a beautiful and cooperative model, thanks to Alex for helping with the shooting and thanks to Tatica for being supportive and helping with the editing, it was the teamwork of 4 people from 3 cities and 2 continents.
