Are you bored yet?
This is the 9th roll of film shot with the M6 (like you haven`t figured that out already).
Being a "one week roll" (as in: a bunch of pictures that don`t relate) I don`t have much to say about the 36 frames as a whole, so I`ll just inform you about these specific pictures.
First off, a meeting with Alexunu and Arnold in downtown Bucharest.
One of the following days we went to see Stefan (yup ... the little guy in the 2nd and 3rd pictures). He was carefully guarded the whole time by Ulise ... the family dog.
A few days later (July 18th, to be precise) I took part in "Scott Kelby`s 2nd Annual Photowalk" (a short name for a bunch of people with their photogear walking the streets of Bucharest up and down in the search for the perfect picture. I don`t want to break the bubble, but honestly ... this city is far from being a good place for street photography.) I had my Leica M9 M6 and a bunch of film rolls. I shot around 10-12 frames all day (that means ... 3h of Official Photowalk). You get to see four of them, for the remaining 6, send Santa a letter.
And the we hauled-ass to the seaside. (the first picture is Anghel Saligny`s bridge over The Danube river)
I`m off to Lisbon!

This roll traveled with me to Bacau and to Bîrlad at my grandpartens.
First two frames, yours truly and Romeo Tomescu. This guy has so many blogs / portfolios that I had trouble finding one that suits him.
My gran`pa in probably the best pictures I`ve took of him ever since I took on this hobby.
And because new camera has to take pictures of cats ... I`m letting her do her stuff.

Catalina gave me this film. She said "have fun trying this one". I had no clue about how it works. (The fun part about this type of film is that "it has no predetermined ASA". Just select the ASA you want and be careful to develop accordingly when you get back home.)
I ran it through my Leica as a ASA1600 film but I forgot about that setting when developed it and I ran it allong with a TRI-X @ 400 @ ASA400 dev. time ... so it messed it up a bit.
After so many crappy photos I decided not to bore you with even more crappy photos so from now on I`ll try to select a few frames specific for that roll of film. Not necessary the best but the ones I consider most valuable to me, or the story behind the whole roll or just a momentary feeling.
Therefore today I`ll lay out just 7 pictures.
Enjoy.

P.S. Yes, that`s my mom and my dog in the 5th picture.

So, today I`ll show you only 13 images from the 6th roll, because only these are mine. The rest of 23 ... let`s just say I don`t want to look good with other people`s photographs taken with my camera. : )
Moreover ... starting from now I`ll be using Lightbox as "gallery surrogate" so I bet you`ll like the new look. You can now use the keyboard arrow keys to scroll through the pictures. I have no idea if the plug-in can figure out how many pictures I have in one entry and show only those ... but we will wait and see.
Enjoy the pics.

This is the last roll exposed at the concert. Well half-roll sounds better, because I finished it the next day.
The "genius" in me opened the camera to take out the roll but I forgot I had to rewind everything back to the cartridge. Thus the vertical pattern is because the film got overexposed for 2-3 seconds while he was rolled in the right part of the camera. And I lost 5 frames because of processing error.
So, to cut this one short. The first 17 frames are exposed at the concert.
The next 5 were taken later that night at Oana`s birthday. In the pictures you can see Musi and Dragos.
And the following day we went to celebrate another year of success with some of the people that helped BestFest festival run smoothly @ El Grande Comandante club. The one standing in front of the laptop is Ionut Tunaru, the volunteer coordinator.
And in the last frame we have Alex Matusciac and the quote "I hope you`re taking a nice picture!"
