Everything starts with a little bit o paper pushing. We went to HR to get our papers signed and we were told to come back after 4 days for orientation and after that there's a training period. And this is how we got a 1 week unpaid vacation we didn't think about. Lucky for me ...
And after that ... Everything went south. - Marica tripped the fire alarm in the Hostel. - I had to carry Ioana's heavy crappy broken suitecase for more than 1mile uphill on a 38* weather to the Greyhound station. - there were no more tickets to Wisconsin
As I said yesterday, we had to ditch plan A that would have taken us from the airport in Chicago straight to Wisconsin Dells, and we embraced plan B with open arms. After the hostel check in and the foot-long sandwich (@ Subway) we went in the Millennium Park.
06:50 - Bucharest Otopeni Check in was fine. Let`s just say that "Up in the air" had something to do to the way I packed my bags this time. I literally flew through customs. Air France all the way to Paris. The breakfast on the plain was crap. But I'm used to that.
Hello again, Long time, no see. We`ve been through such a busy month that I neglected the blog completely. Highlights: * we packed our bags for USA, and by the time you read this entry, we`re probably over Switzerland, or over Greenland or maybe we just landed at O`Hare - Chicago
So, the photography workshop weekend is over. We had a great time and met some very interesting new people. Besides the little problems we had with the tethering cable and one lousy chair that thought "Saturday 29th of may it`s a good time to die", we managed to ...
Now this is how we feel after 4 straight days of AutoCAD + Max + Sketch-up. And the best part is: It`s like we didn`t do anything at all! I still look at the project scratching my head, wondering how many toilets should I have... I can barely wait for everything to just end already. Some ...
Un workshop de fotografie „mai ALTFEL” "Cum pui lumina, cum discuti cu modelul si cum prelucrezi rezultatul" Cum adica un workshop „mai altfel”? Adica vrem ca participantii sa se aleaga cu ceva real de pe urma acestui workshop. Sa se intoarca acasa cu informatii folositoare, ...
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 tried to avoid traffic, staying in line for food, crowds etc... and we gathered in Herastrau ...
I like information, mainly `cause information is power, and you might never know when you need some. But I never found Twitter to be a source of good information until I tried it. I always thought that people use it just for "I pooped!" and "I pooped again!" kind of tweets. Boy was I wrong!
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.
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 a ...
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, play guitar and … most ...
And the last of the individual winter sessions was reserved for my lovely Jo. She insisted on being photographed while wearing the New Year`s Eve clothes. I must say … she had a very good idea; mostly because she never got to wear that outfit `cause everybody else...
Many of you will say that I used to much flash. I beg to differ. I`d say two more lights would have been a blessing... Addendum: As a side-note, in case you didn`t notice I gave a shot to a popular plug-in for the Wordpress platform: the one with the star ratings and the thumbs-up/down...
Still posting stuff from last year... Just a few more pictures to show and I can fully be in the present. Today I`m going to show off two pictures of Diana, a good friend of mine who was supposed to shake off the camera shyness by now ... but that hasn`t happened yet. I`ll blame that ...
I`m writing this entry hoping that it will cheer everybody up including yours truly. The past two weeks have been like Purgatory and Hell. The worst part is that "it ain`t over yet". The good part is: "only two more weeks to go". I`ve been shooting to much with my Leica in the past 5 ...
I mixed some of the films and I`m to lazy to fix that now. This roll was supposed to go before the one with Cosmin. This concert took place at the Romanian Cultural Institute and was part of Harry Tavitian`s Teach me Tonight series, and had the sole purpose of enlightening the audience with...
I dedicated 12/12/2009 to the Help Portrait movement. -basically you take your camera and use it to put a smile on someones face. Take their picture, print it and deliver it. No strings attached. Out of everybody Cosmin moved me the most...
