Ni hao! As you can see I`m starting to learn Chinese! It`s harder than anything I`ve tried to do so far in my entire life so I won`t be mastering this new language any time soon ... but at least I try. Enough with the introduction, but just in case you liked ...
After 4 weeks of constant whining I`m pretty sure everyone wants to hear good stuff about China and about what I`m doing here. I have two topics that I will address in this week`s rant. 1. Perks of working in a big company. 2. Perks of traveling to "slim fit" country So let`s start ...
Howdy folks! I bet you`re wondering why I gathered you here!? Well, if it`s Sunday, and I`m abroad, it means it`s time for a fresh set of "bitching and moaning". Enjoy! Part 10. Chinese fruits (likes and dislikes). As you know already I get to eat fruits every day at work between lunch ...
I`ll start this week`s letter from where I left off last Sunday, Part 4. Job The first day I was supposed to get to work at 10:00 for the orientation. At 9:20 I got out of the subway station and I was ...
The first shooting for 2012 deserves a blog post, so I`ll try to be short and to the point. As you probably know Europe was under a massive snow storm. We (in Bucharest) got hit pretty hard, and we had to stay in the comfort of our apartments for a few days. That ...
Howdy, Today I`ll tell you a few things about a toy that`s really fun to use. The Supersampler! It`s a Lomography camera with 4 lenses and each lens exposes 1/4 of the frame. The lenses have individual shutters and the camera has 2 shooting modes: Instant Shutter (4 exposures in 0.2s) ...
Catching up on stuff. I finally managed to get done a big batch of photos for the Dear World project. First thing: Share with the whole World. Second: get some sleep! The project is pretty simple: ask people to send messages to the world by writing them on their body....
Make-Up: Ioana Toma Hello there! Not to disturb the previous post about the Samsung NX200, I`ve decided to make a 2nd entry with samples, some ... artsy, others ... not so much, but rounds-up the 1st review a little bit. For those of you with "pixel-peeping" as ...
So here we are, the day we drank wine from sunrise to sundown: We started the trip in Dijon, took the highway all the way down to Beaune, than we headed futher down towards Puligny-Montrachet. That was the southern-most point of ...
We arrived in Lyon 1h before sundown so we managed to get a map from the tourist info point, and went on foot north from Place Belecour towards the Opera, and then up and down on parallel streets in between these points. All the people were photogenic and dressed really good. ...
The next day we hopped in the card for a 280km on the freeway towards Chamonix. As expected, it rained allot. We were really hoping for good weather there. There`s no worst way of visiting Chamonix than on a rainy day. We had two of them! The first day we took the ...
After our 5 days in the Netherlands, we took the Thalys train to Paris Nord, hopped on the metro towards Garre du l`Est and from there after a 3h ride, we hopped off in Dijon. We stayed at a Motel ~50km from Dijon but we spent the 1st day in ...
So, as you probably know I made it. I`m an architect. So to celebrate this and a friends 30th birthday (2 in 1) we headed to the Netherlands for a week. 4 out of 5 days it rained cats and dogs, but we managed to squeeze some strolling time in between ...
Hello again, Long time, no see. We`ve been through such a busy month that I neglected the blog ...
So, the photography workshop weekend is over. We had a great time and met some very interesting new people. Besides the little problems we ...
Hi folks, Every year (for the past 7-8 years now) the 1st of May (work holiday - without actual work) would find us on the beach in Vama Veche. But not this year. Too many people go there now so we ...
Hello again, I guess you`re wondering what`s got into me with this fast followup entry... Searching through the latest photographs I came across one with a cat and I realized again how much I love furry animals. But... The biggest problem for me is that Jo is allergic to cats. Her eyes ...
Hi folks, Trying to keep up with the university`s never-ending projects I spend less and less time taking photos. Post-processing is just a beautiful dream. I`ve had 2 weeks of vacation for the Easter holidays and, frankly, I have no clue when they got by. I spent them in my hometown eating, ...
Hi guys and gals! Long time no see. I was thinking of kicking Spring off with some nuttier pictures. About a week ago, Ioana and myself threw a party and to spice things up a little bit I told everybody I was going to take some pictures `cause I had ...
No sooner had I finished Cuba`s session, when my friends started to ring the doorbell. Every year we meet at my nomad studio in my hometown, 2-3 days before the New Year`s Eve, we have some drinks (mostly that year`s crops, `cause we like wine), tell some stories, ...
