Tango

This is already a tradition for orasul to get people dancing tango in the subway at the Unirii 1 station, as is a tradition for them to offer chocolate in the same place in the Martisor day every year, so guess what? Today I shoot people doing tango in the subway.

More Martisor pics

If the experience yesterday shooting Martisor sellers was less than stellar (I had one security guard come to me and ask to stop, since the market is private property, even if everything happened on he street, so I have to move to the opposite side of the market), today at Unirii it was much better.

People asked me to shoot their dog (carrying flowers in his mouth), complained about the mayor and the chaos he created, talked about photos and such.

A couple of them even asked to be shoot and offered me free flowers (snowdrops, which I had to decline as my hands were busy). Of course, it was not all perfect, I heard some mumbling they better get paid “100 Euros” for being photographed (even if I didn’t shoot them, but the flowers they sold).

Men, run for your lives!

Only a few hours left, is the time for men to run for their lives: tomorrow is March 1st, the Romanian holiday where they are supposed to gift all women around with crappy shiny trinkets on a string.

martisor

Not only for their beloved one, not only also for their mother, not even only also for their sister, but also for their coworker, mother in law, neighbor and so on. Run!

Bride and snow

The bridal dress is white and fluffy just as the snow it.

Green city

“The capital [city] grows green” the sign says. Doesn’t look much like that, I would add.

Snowy city

There is one thing a winter must not pass without, that is a snow like in fairy tales. We just had it in Bucharest. Then is another thing which we will hopefully miss: snow and freeze which seems like never stopping.

Winter hotness

It may be winter outside, with snow and freeze, some parts of the city will remain warm or maybe hot.

‘Dat Ass x3

Usually I don’t do such kind of editing in my photos, but here I had to obfuscate some phone numbers, since this post purpose is not to endorse any products or services. Still, the snow was abundant.

National Day is a Children Day

Probably half of the people assisting the military parade on the National Day are children, eagerly awaiting to see the tanks and the horses. They were not bothered much by being groped by strangers as they were bothered by the wait: to get good places some went there 1-2 hours earlier.

But when the parade started they were happy:

And even more happier after the event, when they were allowed to play with (and on top) of the military vehicles, guns and soldiers (no ammunition was present, of course).

Self modelling

If the photographers are busy chasing some falling leaves, what are those girls supposed to to? They take pictures one to each other. Stupid photographers!

Fuck ecology!

It looks like people organizing a marathon care about sports, health and life, but this pile of plastic bottles (and wasted bottled water) make you think twice.

They don’t care about running

It seems like not everybody cares about the marathon, some, both people and dogs, are completely uninterested.

Runaway bride

Actually she likes to run and got married around the marathon, we are not in a romantic comedy or such.
