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.

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:

And, of course, a lot of beautiful girls:

And cheerleaders:

And don’t forget the virtual kisses:

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

Ana Bella in the park

In the park, shooting for a portraiture project I will talk more at a later date, we had the time for some general shoots too, in the very summer style: roses, vaporous dresses, green:

This weekend, together with a group of friends, I was on a trip to the famous mud volcanoes in Buzău county:

We were a lot of photographers and some models, so it was the time and place for an extended photo session

Little Prince

Not totally a coincidence of me posting about a marionette play today on Children’s Day, but it was a spectacle for everyone. Last week I attended at UNATC a Little Prince spectacle.

We were allowed to take photos, since is was not a real spectacle, a group of drama students were preparing their graduation with this play and needed public to get used with real spectacles.

It was a combination: for the most past a marionette and 3 actors, with a few “dream” scenes played in a more traditional marionette play fashion. An interesting experience.

Wedding

For everything is a first time and for me last week-end was the first time shooting at a weeding, a new and exciting experience. It had also plenty of fun.

To my advantage, I was the second photographer, leaving on the shoulder of my friend Dee all the serious and classic stuff, having for me the freedom to do anything I wanted, so I put the wide lenses on and tried most of the time extreme and crazy angles.

It was also useful that the bride and the groom are my friends, we had good interaction, and as photographers they understood my needs.

If you wonder, yes, this was the reason for me visiting Râșnov and eating sarmale 🙂

Counter-Strike, map level: Moara lui Assan

This was a Counter-Strike themed shooting that happened at the ruins of Moara lui Assan (Assan’s Mill) in Bucharest. The weather was far from the best, with rain and clouds, resuling in very bad light, but we did all we could… and I think the result is not entirely bad.

We love ice cream

Of course we love ice cream, don’t you too? The only question is: cocoa, vanilla or both?

The Easter Bunny

The rule of this photography blog is to post pictures made by myself… today is a rare exception, with pictures of myself… Sunday, the Easter day, I was out in the city with a few photographer friends, I was prepared having with me a pair of bunny ears and when the gang saw them, they dared me to wear the ears trough the city and… I did so 🙂 Here are some pics taken by them:

Flori Jianu saw the “sexy bunny”:

Alin Dima the “cute one”:

Marian Nedelcu the “dangerous one”:

And Nick Constandache the “bunny in love” (with his own shadow…):

Little ones at Florii in Muzeul Satului

Traditional masters? Rural glamour? Of course! But there were also a lot of little ones, both in the show and the audience:

Rural glamour

When you have it in your blood, you can’t stop, you have to make this type of photography, so even if a Flowers Day at Village Museum didn’t seem like the place for it, I managed to see those girls taking each other photos with a small compact, stepped in and helped with my gear:

To me the costumes looked genuine, the girls cute and natural, the setting perfect, so I got myself a little shooting. Joy!

Tradition masters

Sunday was Flowers Day (Florii), the last Sunday before the Easter and the Village Museum (Muzeul Satului) in Bucharest hosted a big event, with traditional art, music, spectacles and such. Being a really beautiful spring day, I couldn’t resist and was there with the camera in my hand: rustic houses, people in traditional costumes and blossoming cherry trees… what you can ask for more? (wait the next couple of posts for more…)

There I meet Gheorghe Ciobanu, an amazing guy: he is a peasant naive painter who talk with passion about his art, we had a short but delightful conversation about the purpose of art, he also gave me hid “internet number”, where I can see a gallery with his works. Recommended.

He had there a lot of idyllic paintings about nature, flowers, spirituality, village life and so on. When leaving, I saw on a fence a lot of paintings with strong sexual connotations, also part of the traditional rural live, I guess. I love his guy and his work (and there is more such stuff on his website.

Another highlight of an interesting person I meet there is Veturia Suciu, an old lady who does sewing. Seeing my photo camera she asked from which TV station am I, we talked a bit, she told be about her being at sunset and how is she would have a sunrise would be able to create more.
