Lazy afternoon

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

Smell the sunflowers

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.

Free Hugs = normal = good

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.

Hipster Delivery

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.

Fashion on the beach

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

And continued with an outside session, on the beach, near a stage with rock music (death metal!):

For the day to be complete, in-between was time for some street-fashion play:

The shell girl

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

Love on the beach

“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

Trash the Dress in Vama Veche

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.

ARTmania 2011: the people

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:

Heavy rain

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:

Some people were courageous enough to defy the nature, my equipment is not weatherproof, so I had to maintain cover:

Yup, this is a heavy summer rain in the city. Enjoy it. Or not :p

Water fight

A hot, scorching summer day, is a perfect day for a water fight:


I had low expectations and they were fulfilled: a bunch of kids running chaotically and throwing water left, fight, front and back.

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:
