Remember childhood ?

No matter where you grew up, there must be some bike-related story you remember from time to time.For example, do you remember that kid that always rode the nerdy bicycle with the postman basket in front ? Of course you do, you always mocked him for that even if he was your best friend, and both of you had a great time while at it. In my group, after my BMX got out of order, i was that kid. I still remember when i was like 8 years old and couldn't even reach the bicycle's seat... i didn't really need anyone to make fun of me for it, i remember hitting the ground once for laughing at myself.Anyways, to all that rode a nerdy bike like this one as a child, cheers!

The Elderly Assassin Of The City Market

If i were to give an advice to anyone who is going shopping tomorrow in Campia Turzii's Wednesday Market, it would be : whatever you are about to do, do not even think of stealing something.not for a second.Because her eyes are many and her ears are everywhere... even if her old age may have damaged some of her hearing abilities, she still has a knife she's not afraid to use and cut the throat of any pesky thief that may damage the market's integrity.Anyways....if you already made up your mind to go steal something... if caught, try throwing some money  when she's pointing at you... chances are she might be Jewish.

Canine fidelity

Living at the mercy of the people, this dog sat by his master's grave every second since he passed away two months ago.It wouldn't go away no matter what one would do, it sits by is master's tomb and weeps every day.Still a young dog, it hopes in its naivete that his best friend would come back from the depths of the grave before it will join him there itself. Burdened with sadness, we got it some food to last it for a couple of days and then we left, thinking about its fidelity and nevertheless, admiring it.

Ruin

Once a prosperous home to a wonderful middle-class family, the place that was once filled with joy is now left empty, dusty and eroded.The walls that were once strong enough to withstand the unforgiving snow storms in the south, are now about to collapse.What was once a happy place to remember is now a chaotic ruin, forsaken, left for dead.Not only doesn't anybody care about its existence anymore, those who do, can't wait for the day the earth would finally swallow it so they wouldn't be forced to feel the pain of remembering what it once was.

In Autumn We Trust!

Since the summer harvest is already known as killed and hopeless, the only hope that remains is in the plants that grow during the autumn.Land workers pray to God everyday that He may bless the earth with ripe grapes so that, even if we won't have any food to eat, we would be able to boil wine in the ruthless winter so that we can keep warm.

Oh the poor harvest

When a drought goes so far that it defeats even the unwavering wheat, you know the year's harvest is screwed.The only thing that grows productively anymore is hemp, and , of course, the government frowns upon the general use of this plant.We now have nothing to eat, and of course, no source of money to buy it from somewhere else( since selling hemp is pretty much illegal ).

London Olympics this year!

"Honey... go buy some seeds, the London Olympics have started!", said Mrs.Bee to Mr.Bee.

"Naaaah, no way....why should I go buy seeds when we have them 20 meters away?I know it's a long trip... but I will take the bullet, i'll go gather them myself! Record the games 'till i get back please!".And so, Mr. Bee went outside in a reckless journey to gather seeds for the London Olympics.Why reckless, you ask? ... He didn't get a backpack...of course.

Sunflower-seeds detail

It isn't something exactly easy to get with a 55-200mm lens, but I did my best and I think I gave you a pretty clear insight to the seeds you will be uselessly popping in front of the TV next year.Given the situation, I feel really sorry for those that find popping seeds an essential part of their lives.

Another kind of sunset

It's a scorching summer we're living, the sun burns instead of warming, and it is, of course, firstly reflected in the nature.So long did the drought last and so long did the sun incinerate everything in the direction of its rays that even the sunflowers started to bow their heads down in their exhaustment.After all those fiery days not even a week of non-stop raining will be able to save them.No different from plants, we too await the blessed rain from time to time.Even though we never like it when it's cold and wet outside, the rain is, after all, an essential part of our lives, and after a soul-sucking drought, we honestly thank God when it eventually comes.

Regret

"The Last thing I said to my father was "See You Around" , and the most profound conversation we had in the last years was "how are you doing?"..." 

Regrets are harrowing... all the if only's, the woulda , coulda, shoulda's, they will never go away... even if it seems hard, it is better to try and connect with your parents before it's too late.Speak your mind when they're still around, or else you'll probably end up telling them bedtime stories long after bedtime.

Home Away From Home

Even if you're out in the open, have an empty stomach, and perhaps sometimes you don't even have any hope of seeing tomorrow, a soft warm fire in the middle of the cold night brings you back to the fireplace at home, to the warmth in your siblings' souls.Sometimes that fire is all you need to get your hope back and go to sleep believing tomorrow is a new day and you'll perhaps reach home.

Let There Be Light

In the middle of the hopeless night, when you're alone out in the cold, with no hope of reaching a warm bed soon, it is always good to have something to warm yourself with around you.After I've lost my blanket, started running out of food, water and just when the ghosts of the past started coming back to haunt me, I remembered I had a pack of matchsticks in my back pocket.I dragged a few in my handgun and improvised a candle hoping they will keep me warm this night.

Natural Moments

The best thing about working with models is that once you get to know them, they feel relaxed and they start acting naturally.Even with a master photographer's indications, the best shots you'll ever get aren't the planned ones.As a photographer you have to always be attentive to your subject, and capture the moments your subject is distracted by something else, forgetting that you're around with the camera.

Silence

After a traumatic life event, most people find it difficult to open themselves to anyone for at least a while.Some others have found the night to be a good listener, so they open up to the nothingness of the night.Just as we, Christians, have found God to be the one to always open up to.In times of insecurity, at least on a psychic account, everything you do to open up helps more or less.Of course it would be ideal to find a person, but for those that find it hard to to, the night is indeed a good listener.

Endangered

Even if most of us wouldn't agree, the night can bee a very dangerous time to wander outside.When the lights of the city fall, you are lost in the darkness.If you can't even rely on your own eyes, what can you really rely on?
It is better to be safe by sorry....and many would interpret it as staying at home at night.Not me though.The night can indeed be dangerous, but it is just as much fun, so, instead of staying at home..i prefer to venture in...with a handgun of course.

Target Practice

Every keen shooter knows that the best way one could sharpen his eyesight is target practicing at night.A good shooter must be as quick as a fox and as keen as an eagle, so.. as in mostly everything, practice makes perfect.

Eventually Over

Finally starting to embrace the events and the responsibilities he will have to cope with further on, he unloads the gun and puts it back in his pants.He looks upon his father's grave one more time and all his memories about him flash back once again.He realizes it's time to let go, so he heads back home to get some sleep, as he will have to set sail first time next morning.With his mind made up not to let his father down, he will fight to become the great captain he has always seen in his father.
