A loot of my candid shots are taken on a certain bridge in the Herastrau Park (a favorite spot), just like the one below: either with people passing by or looking down at the boats below. But there is also an ugly side: last Sunday, don’t know how, I had my lens hood falling in the water… I don’t know to swim and even so, I would not swim in that water, so it lost… time to buy another one!

A reader of my photography blog may already know I am trying to master the wind, with a various degree of success. Last week-end I was so close… but still no cigar.

So you are doing community stuff, being a speaker and helping with the organisation of a FLOSS event like the Firefox 3.5 Release Party, but at the same time you are a photographer, carrying the camera with you and shooting at every opportunity you get. The obvious result: some semi-candid cute environmental portraits.

Following one of my graphic tutorials I got a request from one (supposedly) US girl: she say she lost the originals of some photos and need some help to recover a few who were watermarked by a hosting site.
I decided to not investigate further her identity and motivation and since the images are small and blurry anyway, I tried a bit of fixing with GIMP, nothing fancy, just a few minutes with the clone, shear and maybe the healing tool.

Now being on different continents, I am a bit disappointed I cannot ask her in exchange to work for me as a model in a photo session, I am really look for models at this moment.
A second take on the "you must master the wind" lesson and (coincidence?) this is taken minutes and effectively a few meters away (the same part of the Herastrau Park) from the first part, it must be exactly the same nasty wind, as it was the same nasty photographer.

A quick research: the girls walking on the street look better in a formal or casual outfit? Look below:
+1 for formal
+1 for casual
+1 for formal
+1 for casual
… so far is a tie :p I guess is not about the clothes but about who is wearing them.
And now as a bonus something that isn’t either casual nor formal:
A goth girl can be cute too!

This photo, from the park candids set is so close but still failed, it could have been framed a lot better. But there is one thing to learn: you must master the wind and the result is revealing.
PS: still debating with a friend, he is sure she is not wearing any panties, I say there may be a G-string. What’s your take?

A lot of candid things may be captured if you spend a sunny Saturday afternoon in the park. How about when your "prey" notices you and send a smile?
Beside walking, people are skating, taking photos and taking photos while skating:

For quite a while I took a lot of candids and was not sure about publishing some of them… well, a chain of recent conversations with people from various countries and genders made me to change my mind about that.
From a lot of angles Bucharest is a shitty city, this hit me heavily when returning from a short vacancy in Berlin, but still there are a few things on it streets making you feel comfortable at home, here are a few such snapshots gathered over the past year:

So you are a photographer… you have some things to to in the center of he city when a heavy rain, a storm, start falling down. Of course you take out your camera, move into a place where you are covered enough so the rain will not damage the camera or cover the lenses and start shooting left and right. Don’t the wet girls look nice?

For me (and also for other photographers I know) is hard at time to overcome the shyness and take public (street and not only) photos of people when they can notice you. And I try hard (but is really difficult) to get past of it, as many people (and especially women that are confident in their beauty) will react positively, smiling back at you.

For a few days I am in Berlin for a Fedora (Linux) Conference, FUDCon, so I am using the opportunity to take a lot of photos. One of the first things to notice was the garbage on the street, seeing it I started to doubt my view on the street garbage in Bucharest
I aslo encountered weird people on bikes, like you see on photo jokes from China:
But the bunnies in the huge park/forest near the Tegel airport weree absolutely amazing and unexpected:
And the open display of the hookers on street was somehow a new sight for a boy from Bucharest:

Rain in Bucharest is doom and gloom, the city usually gets near to a collapse:
But at least some look like enjoying it (or at least being affected not that much):

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).

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:
