______________________________________________________________________________________

on the 19th the school held a photography workshop in colaboration with phase one and profoto – high end camera gear and studio equipment producers (world leaders) … so i got a chance to toy around with the best gear there is…

first shot…

… so is started shooting with my new film camera … the film i put in is at least 25 years old … so i didn’t know what to expect… it turns out that the film is even worse than my expectations and after i scaned it i kinda got some knowledge about how to use it… the film has absolutely nothing written on it… so i have no idea about the type… and is even less sensitive than i originaly thought… and it is no good for bad lighting conditions or even medium lighting… which is mostly what it shot (cloudy weather/rain/fog/late afternoon) … so … i guess i’ll have to shoot it only in sunlight or bright light… anyway… now that i have some idea about how it reacts… i can better use it… (got alot of it)…

so this is what came out…

back in bussiness…

… so i’ve been “offline” since august… since i got my job for the advertising agency in brasov i’ve had 0 time to do anything else… so basicly no time for photos, other than the work-related one’s… so last friday was my last day… and i’ve moved back to bucharest to catch up on school (skipped 2 months) and “get up an goin’ ” again… moved into a new apartment which is smack in the middle of bucharest, 2 minutes away from my school… which is great…

… my ex-job has brought a few things along including my new nikon F100 camera (film)… which i’ll be using from now on for non-comissioned photos and leave my digital camera only for money-making action… soo… my blog will pretty soon start “losing” posts containing digital shots and will eventualy contain only film shots…

in the meantinme… gotta catch up on 2 months of school… yey…

home…

… came home from bucharest… finally… the heat was unbearable… finished second semester … didn’t fail any exam… so it’s all good…

commin’ home got me wanting to experiment new stuff again…

a few shots … taken with a LOMO Smena 8m, Kodak Elitechrome 200 Cross Processed film, no photoshop (crapy scanner though)

…

‘nother one that speaks for itself…

…

a few photos of the “George Cosbuc” marketplace which is behind the “Romanian Academy” main building next to the huge “Peoples House” … so its pretty much in the centre of Bucharest… and the entire area looks like a war zone conveniently hidden behind a few big buildings…

…

i think it speaks for itself… (sign says resting holiday)

one too many…

…back to bucharest… getting annoyed by too much train riding…

up north…

…went on another “photo mission” today after some time of no photo activity… as usual i got freaked out again of what i found… people living somewhere on the edge of a continuously windy and dusty abandoned industrial area… living in a building which had no windows or doors…
we started at the northern train station and worked our way north … ’till we reached the bad side of the “giulesti” neighborhood and eventually got lost… and almost got seriously attacked by a lot of stray dogs living at the edge of town…
