Cîrnați de Pleșcoi

Shooting at the volcanoes is nice and exciting, but it won't keep the hunger away. Travelling trough beautiful landscapes is also nice and exciting, but it also won't keep the hunger away. You need real food for that. And as the volcanoes are located in the Buzău county, what is more appropriate than Pleșcoi sausages (cîrnați de Pleșcoi)? And plenty of them, eat until you can't eat more and then eat some more :D

Fields

On the route to the volcanoes, we passed trough beautiful countryside: fields of red poppies, green grass with tiny white daisies, it was a beautiful summer day:

To the volcanoes

This weekend, together with a group of friends, I was on a trip to the famous mud volcanoes in Buzău county:

We were a lot of photographers and some models, so it was the time and place for an extended photo session

Fly, fly, little butterlfy!

If soemthign is appropriate for the Children's Day today, this must be it: the cute butterfly flying over the grassy field.

Little Prince

Not totally a coincidence of me posting about a marionette play today on Children's Day, but it was a spectacle for everyone. Last week I attended at UNATC a Little Prince spectacle.

We were allowed to take photos, since is was not a real spectacle, a group of drama students were preparing their graduation with this play and needed public to get used with real spectacles.

It was a combination: for the most past a marionette and 3 actors, with a few "dream" scenes played in a more traditional marionette play fashion. An interesting experience.

Crimson city

At times I may be positive towards it, but there are also many cases when I hate this shitty city, like yesterday evening when returning home I witnessed such a beautiful sunset, only to have the city obstructing my views and ruining the scenery.

Wedding

For everything is a first time and for me last week-end was the first time shooting at a weeding, a new and exciting experience. It had also plenty of fun.

To my advantage, I was the second photographer, leaving on the shoulder of my friend Dee all the serious and classic stuff, having for me the freedom to do anything I wanted, so I put the wide lenses on and tried most of the time extreme and crazy angles.

It was also useful that the bride and the groom are my friends, we had good interaction, and as photographers they understood my needs.







If you wonder, yes, this was the reason for me visiting Râșnov and eating sarmale :)

Papa bun!

When talking about traditional Romanian food, there are basically two very known options: mititei and sarmale (there are some other dishes, but those two are simply the most known). Since I talked earlier about mici, now is the time for sarmale: minced meat rolled in pickled cabbage leaves, served with sour cream, mămăliga, some smoked meat and hot peppers. Red wine on the side, of course!

The summer of poppies

Near the end of May, is almost summer here, the time of the summer flowers. And you don't need to go too far, fields of poppies are also inside the city (if you know where to look for them, of curse):

Râșnov citadel

The Râșnov citadel in pretty much in ruins, but still some parts of it are somewhat functional, like this little alley leading to a couple of souvenir shops. Too bad for the modern ice-cream sign, otherwise one may have a medieval feeling.

Counter-Strike, map level: Moara lui Assan

This was a Counter-Strike themed shooting that happened at the ruins of Moara lui Assan (Assan's Mill) in Bucharest. The weather was far from the best, with rain and clouds, resuling in very bad light, but we did all we could... and I think the result is not entirely bad.

We love ice cream

Of course we love ice cream, don't you too? The only question is: cocoa, vanilla or both?

History mismatch

Two nazi soldiers and a MiG 15 in the background, that's quite a history mismatch surprised in the backyard of the Military Museum of Bucharest for the "museum day", when the access was open, demos and parades with old costumes happened. And they had beas from the cauldron, military style!

Make love, not war

There is no war, the tanks are sitting at the Military Museum for decades, the vegetation conquered them. Still, the love part is lacking to a great degree...
