Vegan harassment

A group of vegans harassing people (tourists and not only) eating out in the Bucharest old city. With some stupid banners they were standing and starring at people from the tables. Of course, the team was complete with a photographer documenting the protest.

Of course at some point they were intercepted by some community police officers, but in my understanding it was only a mere slap on the wrist, I heard a “thank you officer, I promise we won’t do it again” (as in won’t do it without proper authorization)

Two mornings with fishermen

I was walking on the Mamaia beach, towards Năvodari, looking photo a photography subject, something more interesting than the simple solar ball emerging out from the water, something not exactly easy in a week with a totally uncooperative weather: not even a single tiny cloud to augment the sunrise.
In the distance, I see a small silhouette, it looks like a fishing boat and I hurry-up with the hope to put this object between me and the sun and overcome the bland natural offer. Anyway, it was away and I managed to catch it only after it reached the shore, so I witnessed only the human spectacle which exceeded my expectations.
The next day some other subjects distracted me and I couldn’t reach the boat again, but the third day I was more determined. Apparently not enough, because I couldn’t catch it over the sea, but still on the shore. Even more human spectacle for me, with an added bonus from the birds attracted by the smell of fish.
A few days later, once returning home, I edited and published one single picture from the photos made there in the two mornings with fishermen, obviously the one I found the best, and noticed it enjoyed a relative success. Feeling the interest and because I see the story being larger, I come back now with a small set: Two mornings with fishermen.

Irish Beer

I am ahead of the St. Patrick Day parade, when I notice three local drunkards, with the cheapest (plastic bottle) beer in hand.
– What’s there? Revolution? and they look inquiring at me
– National Ireland day, I reply, continuing to look for interesting angles and subjects
– So what? they are totally unimpressed
– Irish beer! i add, unsure they ever tried some ever
– Where, where? their eyes start to sparkle and you can start to feel their enthusiasm
– Pubs around here, I shrug
– And is free? you can see the sparkle burning
– I don’t know about that, I shrug again and go my way.
In the meantime the parade arrives. With dying sparkles in their eyes, the drunkards try to bugger it but are meet with total indifference.

Proud Romanians

One does not have to be a citizen or even speak the language to wave flags on the national day parade.

Patriotic horse

I pretty much doubt the horse cares about national pride and such things.

Elections

Yesterday evening a number of Romanian cities witnessed demonstrations where the people requested to be allowed to vote, here are images from Bucharest. A week ago, in the first elections round, the current prime-minister and leader of the communist party, Victor Ponta, who is also a candidate in the presidential elections, just blocked the people from voting in the places where it was expected he won’t receive a good score, including university centers and outside of the country.

Nijikon 2013

A new edition of the anime convention Nijikon is taking place in Bucharest. I was there in its first day and found what it was expected to be found: costumes, a cosplay competition and a lot of goodies: manga, toys and so on. And, of course, a huge lot of anime fans.
