You can see from the direction of the shadow, it was late afternoon, still it was a very hot summer day and every spot of shadow was inviting to laziness

This year the heat is strong and long lasting, all the vegetation has a heavy fight for survival, so it probably was the last opportunity of the year to capture some sunflower pictures.

We struggle at near 40°C, the politics around us are in turmoil, still people want a normal life, they try to ignore the problems and go forward. Last Saturday a bunch of kids organized an event (the second year in a row) called “Free Hugs – Summer Love” where they offered hugs around the Herastrau Park in Bucharest.

Street Delivery is the biggest hipster event taking place in Bucharest and it takes place in the middle of June, the perfect moment for a hipster to show his true colors with the obligatory hat and scarf during an incredibly hot summer day. It has everything you expect from such an event, from “Salvati Rosia Montana” to graffiti and comics to cotton candy to and beer to workshops and to dubstep. Even a booth from the local Apple Computer distributor was there.
And since the Carturesti library chain thought is a good promotional opportunity, they, as organizer, held a photography contest from the event, so about half of the hipsters there had a camera, dreaming of taking “that” picture and winning the contest. So I took only a few pics.

Among the many things that happened in Vama Veche was a day with fashion photography. It started with a studio session:

I think the shells picking girl is good representation for what is happening in Vama Veche: free, unconventional, direct, sincere.

“Am plecat la Vama Veche
Ca sa imi gasesc pereche
Am ajuns la Vama Veche
Si sunt apucat de streche
Stau pe plaja-n Vama Veche
Si-am sarutul in ureche
Doar pe plaja-n Vama Veche
Noi totï vom avea pereche.”
Vama Veche – Vama Veche

The nights in Vama Veche are really long and hard so the morning are, obviously, even harder.

Photography wise, the wedding is a first step, it should better continue with trashing the dress, as I did last week in Vama Veche, at the sea side, with my friends Andeea and Alex.

So there is a music (metal) festival in the city, there also have to be people too, some of them for the event, some not. Capturing them is a must for the photographer:

After the CounterStrike fun, it was the time for another visit at Mora lui Assan, now with a more glamourous take, thanks to Mino:

Saturday the weather was not friendly, cloudy and cold, but since there was something to shoot, I left home anyway, heading for the Cișmigiu park, with the hope it will at least stay the same. It wasn’t so, around Piața Victoriei it started to rain furiously: hailstone, thunders and lightning.
Getting to the end of the line, I had to leave the bus and get refuge in the bus station, the perfect place to enjoy the rain (over half an hour more), bring out the camera and capture some moments:

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:
