Day 85 – The new old?

Found this little old buggy on the streets of Bucharest. Actually it was a well preserved one that looks very good and shiny. Seems that the old cars (not old expensive ones) are still a choice for some.

See you! 🙂

Day 76 – Went to the grocery store

Yeah, went to buy some tomatoes. Since it was late and I was going to the grocery store, it was a good time to practice “hip photography”. I had only few shots, almost everybody went home and there were only few left in the market selling. Now I can see that I still need practice with framing and maybe a little more confidence when getting close to the people on the streets. Oh, I almost forgot. In few days I’ll be leaving for a trip to Barcelona and I am in a big dilemma. To bring the big guns or stick with the little one, the Nex5. Until now, the Nex is my favourite.
See you tomorrow!

Day 48 – Relax

Finally, the summer is here. Today was okay, but I expect the following days to get hotter and hotter. Some say it’s a good thing, but I am sure that I will want the rain back. And since I’m speaking about the summer well… the summer is the season of holidays and relaxation, just like this two folks in the picture. See you tomorow!

Day 43 – We all age sometime

Time passes by so fast around us that you don’t realise when you got so old. Maybe I am a little nostalgic since in two weeks I will be 27 and boy… this is a long time. Speaking of time, today I wanted to do more street photography and of course I couldn’t find any subject that pleased me. So I decided to sit on a bench near a fountain downtown and observed the people passing by. I spend almost an hour or so having my camera on my lap and pressed the shutter from time to time when I considered to do so. Almost every frame that I took wasn’t good enough until an old man stopped near the fountain. He looked tired and sad and just by looking on his face expression you could see his story. And this was the moment when I shot the 43.

See you tomorrow!

Day 34 – Reflections of the past

This week started with rain and it seems that it will end again with rain. But in the afternoon, the rain stopped and the sun came out. Today I stopped near the “Memorial of rebirth” according to google translate. It is a monument for the people who died in the 1989 revolution who freed us from comunism. It’s architecture is a little odd and most people compare it with a potato. Since it rained, many ponds appeared and I could play with reflections. So here it is, day 34.

See you on 35!

Day 27 – Remember to smile

Back in the city craziness. After a long day of work, some friends invited me to a Jazz concert near the centre of the city. After I met with my girlfriend, we started to look for the place where the concert will be held. On the way there, we found a funny sign with a mile sprayed on it. So don’t forget, even if you are not allowed to drive through, don’t forget to smile!

Day 16 – Time warp

I usually take the subway from work to home, but today was a special case when my colleague Mihai offered a ride home. On the way home, we used a bridge to cross the town quicker. Since the speed limit there is higher, the camera caught a nice tunnel effect of the bridge.

See you tomorrow!

Day 14 – Off the job

Today was a very long day at work. Some of our colleagues from abroad came over and after the working hours we headed to the Old Town to have a team dinner. After it got late, one by one of us started to head home. Since I was in the old city, I took the opportunity to put my camera into action. This street performer fellow got my attention since I remember him from the last years working on the street, entertaining people. The difference between him and us is that his workplace and his “going out place” are actually the same place, the Old Town and he seems to be happy and have fun here.

See you tomorrow!
