Old movie and a New Year's Eve

Wishing you all a happy new pictoresque 2007 year, here are some surprise photos taken two decades ago by my dad. Co-starring: me and Iulia. I just think we have to take our minutes of glory. :-)

Family affair

Finally, Oliver. Been to their concert in B52, because they are part of my family and somehow we grew strong and old together since my came in Bucharest. And because, despite all that, they still have nice surprises for me everytime i see them. This time, Mihnea from Luna Amara walked on the stage for a bit of a tune.

Rush hours

Rush hours in Bucharest may seem to have lost their meaning. Every hour here is rush hour. People running in every direction stumble upon other people. They are caught unguarded and raise their eyes in surprise to see another one just like them disturbed from his mountain of thoughts, trying to act quickly as to get rid of the weird situation. "I'm sorry!", they smile. Sometimes they find themselves quite annoyed and frown at their ad hoc counterpart until he quits standing in their way. Sometimes they make the same moves, forming a hilarious dance until one decides it's best to step back and continue his thinking on another path.
So they leave, and when they stop rushing their thoughts go... silent.

The art of conversation

Sometimes nights are long, and conversation runs like smoke from a cigarette. In the poor light of your room you could notice it getting away in circles and spirals, like transparent canvas at first, floating in the air for a few moments just to dissapear later. If you follow smoke, it will trick you at some point, and you will light another cigarette to see what happens. Then another one, and of course, another one, if it weren't for the light of dawn rising somewhere behind the window. That's how conversation runs too. Morning finds just a full ashtray in the middle of an unfinished sentence.

The best way for spending a rainy weekend in Bucharest..

...is leaving it for a better, sunnier ground, in our case, Transylvania. Setting off for Sibiu at first (for a cup of tea and a bit of a jazz concert) , we found a beautiful autumn weather that made us
think of visiting the fortified german churches around, all the way to Sighisoara. That means churches that were fortified to resist the turkish siege, so much that they began looking like castels. Part of our history that hasn't been revealed much.

Stufstock 2006 - Phoenix

By far the most wanted and loved band at the festival, as seen by the large crowd that gathered by the gates just before the concert, Phoenix did their great show and nobody could ever deny it. Becouse they are old, becouse they are great artists, becouse they are legends here in Romania. They sounded like perfect.

Disclaimer: Altough some of the photos were shoot with my camera, none of them is mine.
