I also got to put through it's paces my new flashy, cheapy but goody although lonely studio flash. Hopefully it won't be lonely for too long, I kinda felt the need for a second source.
All's well though, pretty happy to be making stuff happen again.

Interested yet?
Stay close, I'll probably post again sooooooon.

To keep a long story short, I was fortunate enough to be awarded the third place, sooo happy about that. The jury was wonderful I briefly spoke to each one of them after the ceremony and they all were polite enough to say it was a difficult decision to make because of all the wonderful work submitted. There were 27 cotestants all very different and wonderful in their own way (photography-wise).
More info here:

So that is it. I was and still am very glad my work is appreciated not only by friends and family. It gives me the confidence I needed to go on .

I hope for more and better things to come.

Thanks!

It was my first "encounter" with film editing and with premier, and I think it turned out great. So do other people if I may say, leaving modesty aside.

I hope it's okay for me to post the link here, since it is related to a series of photographs of mine.

Looking forward to the exhibition and your feedback

And we got there, at the outskirts of a village, pretty well secluded, easy access and everything. There was a sign saying something about a slaughterhouse. yay, I thought. At first I was kind of scared to walk in, because of all the refrigerated dark rooms with thick insulating doors and the darkness, but soon we set up camp like it was nothing.
So first we prepared the model (our good friend cris) and then started setting everything up. Lighting was pretty good, and I had my trustworthy SB 600 and a reflecting circle (dunno the proper name - you get it) to work with.
Started shooting and moving the model from place to place because bound as she was, she could not even scratch her nose itches.
I had a pretty detailed plan on how and what to shoot with sketched shooting board and everything. Did what I went for, some things turned out better than expected, others not so much so.
Loved the experience though it was good shooting again.
After leaving the site, the model told us she had quite an interesting time. Not only was she tired from all the physical work, but the experience of being helpless like that and having to rely on someone else for simple things like smoking, scratching and moving was thought provoking.

I used some of godsign's textures ( [link] ) - thank you, great stuff.

I haven't uploaded anything until now because I needed the time to edit and prep them the exhibition and deviantart. I was a bit frustrated when switching from a potent color profile to sRGB, but I think I got pretty close to the 16bit version for ya'll to enjoy.

So enjoy!

So I've come up with a concept, I have the main idea all polished in my head, and making plans for the execution. This Sunday, if all goes well, I will be shooting in an abandoned building somewhere outside Bucharest. I'm dieing to tell you what it will be about, but I'd better not spoil the surprise.

I feel energized, and I think the class opened up some doors for me and my clogged up little head. So 'tis all good.

Wish me luck.

And on top of that, some of them have the nerve of crying "hey people from the inside, go in a bit further" and then, I often hear myself saying "there is no more room!" obviously annoyed. That is the biggest mistake anyone can do. The pusher will get annoyed too, as in I gave him a reason for him to push even more, because someone said "no more room". I gave him a reason to fight even more bitter for his place in that tin can. And then the rude become even more so, stepping on people's feet and generally mumbling and trying to give himself reasons for not feeling the thin layer of guilt they are feeling.
No matter.
The crammed will get more crammed, and then anyone wondering why there are so many cars around and why no car owned in his or her right mind would give it up in order to travel greener and cleaner with the public transportation system (that is a loong sentence, sorry) is a complete fool.

Not that anyone reads my diary anyway.

The location was an art camp where some dudes decided to celebrate their twentieth I don't know what. The setting was great. The singing/dancing/eating room not so much so. Anyway, the band (Comesis by their name) had some time to practice, and then wait. And wait. and... then they were called in.
Before anything else, let me tell you a bit about them. Four 16 year old-ish kids some studying music some madly passionate about it. And all with that joyful and energetic attitude of the age.
Mkay so they started playing, and I started shooting. My beloved was kind enough to help me (thank you dear one) hold and move the remotely controlled flash where I needed it. She was kind of funny stretching and stuff . How can you not love her.
The music was good - I'm no expert but I liked it. Although they were disadvantaged by the equipment - borrowed as some of it was.
What let me down a bit was the attitude of the people they were playing for. I was hoping for a bit more support for the young fellows. A bit more applause and stuff. The band did not seem to mind that at all, though. They were there to sing their heart out and that they did. Had some fun, took a little trip out of town and enjoyed themselves.
Fun bunch to hang with.

I wish for them all the best, and hope that they get as far as they want to with this.

And yes, it performs just as I expected it to.
And while I got through the user's manual at least twice, I am still discovering and learning how best to work with it.
For now, I haven't done any properly prepared photo shoots, mostly because of hectic and tiring work activities at work. Recently I got some exciting time working on great projects, involving professional photography with great photographers, but that's another story.
Another part of having this camera is the fact that I'm terrified to a level of (un) healthy paranoia caring for it and making _sure_ it is safe. Mostly I'm afraid of someone stealing it... I've had those kind experiences in the past involving cameras I enjoyed, and I'm not keen of reliving them ever again.
This fear of mine manifests itself in my dreams too. Nasty. I gradually try to take the camera out of it's back-pack in public areas, so that I gain some courage.
I wonder if there is a way of insuring the gear, but the amount of money it is worth, although is huge to me, might not be as big to an insurance company.

Ah well, I started uploading again, and that is a good thing (right?) and making plans for a photo shoot.
Fingers crossed

It is close to the "I wish I was rich" deal, but somewhat different. Doing nothing but still working and getting paid includes the pride of working for a living - can still be considered a working person - and the "satisfaction" of an easy careless job. Having a "do nothing job" is the ultimate revenge for all that time spent working hard. Screwing your employer, your colleagues, every foe you ever had, including the system, the society, and all those other bastards that have more money than you do.

And when that job is well paid on top of that, it is the ultimate status-related orgasm. At that point, you not only get to screw everything, but you do it in style. And the grin is even more exaggerated, and you get the "right" to look down upon all those other fools working hard for a lot less...

How does someone get to this state of mind? Let's imagine a scenario. Average John finishes high-school, going to college. No matter what he wants to do in life, or if anything at all, he attends the courses of a trendy field of study, let's say economics. Barely graduating, John gets a job in a completely different field lets say taxi driving. Not that he has a passion or joy out of that job, it's what gets him paid. Inevitably, working with other happened to drop by's, John slowly gets sick of his job and not only does not try to improve himself, he doesn't look for another job. It's better to feel oppressed and badly payed and unhappy. He feels like he's part of the group, society in general by doing that. Everyone complains, and that is the only release they get. So, our John begins to dream. He needs something else. Something that would suit him.
"I know! The best job is a do-nothing job!"
"Man - I would do anything to get my hands on a job that requires me to do just that - nothing!".

On top of yesterday's, and the day before that and so on , by the smell of it.
All that would still be bearable. Really. Provided that there would be at least two or three meters between everyone in there. But nooooooooo. People have to push and get in a fucking full bus or whatever. And the doors need two or three tries to close down completely, until the meatballs inside compact a little more. And when ou find yourself unable to move, crammed between a fat ass who wont stay put and an middle aged-unshaved-boozed-arm pit... close your eyes. There are only 6 or so stations to go. You need to get to work on time. You need to get paid. You need to think about something else.
Invent a different way of transportation, maybe. Or even why your girlfriend kissed you soooo sweetly before she left. Or maybe that - all things said and done, I should consider myself lucky. Well, bummer. Sometimes I don't.
Sometimes I just wish that they would not let all those old farts travel for free. Sometimes I just wish that I, as a any other working person in this country, should not support FIVE other retired old farts that cram every fucking morning to get to wherever they think it is ABSOLUTELY necessary for them to go. And they do that, even if the heat might not let them get to their destination after all.
Ah well, it's Friday.
The weekend will be over before I know it.

Enjoy?

It is funny to think that a simple pleasure like that can make your day.

No more wining and no more excuses.
More exercising, more reading, more experimenting, more relaxation and balance, more laughing.
Less constipation, less TV, less lazying around.

That said, let me go back to watching some more mind numbing TV...

Sticking to the bringht side, I realised that the cliche sounding thing that said that togh situations show the true color of people and binds or breakes relationships is true. It's good to find trust and love returned just when you need it.
It's funny. How and when I choose to write 'bout myself. And then thinking "why am i doing this?" and never finding the answer. Or a good one, anyway. The only thing that I can almost accept is that this is my way of blowing some steam off. Writing it down, patting myself on the back, and begin moving on.
I am not good at telling this in a way that doesn't sound pathetic or cry-baby-like, and I know that you will think just that after reading this.
I don't care. ]]> ~zamolxe http://zamolxe.deviantart.com/journal/8773881/ http://zamolxe.deviantart.com/journal/8773881/ Mon, 15 May 2006 00:29:57 PDT ~zamolxe http://zamolxe.deviantart.com/journal/7317942/ http://zamolxe.deviantart.com/journal/7317942/ Thu, 15 Dec 2005 11:24:00 PST
I still have a lot to learn, and in this part of the world the illustration is largely unknown. Because of that, I don't get much encouragement for trying to learn new things like this is.

Doesn't matter, I'll keep on trying. ]]> ~zamolxe http://zamolxe.deviantart.com/journal/6224895/ http://zamolxe.deviantart.com/journal/6224895/ Sun, 14 Aug 2005 12:44:32 PDT So I got back to my hometown, Sibiu. And, as I was riding my bike and visiting all the places dear and near, I thought I should do a series of photos about sibiu. It has so much to offer and I'd like to show off at least a bit of it's flavour. The series will be called "Good ol' town". Because it is my hometown which I treasure even more now that I don't live in it anymore, and because it is really old. Also, because of all the sweet childhood memories attached to this place.
In this series of photographs, I will try to convey a sense of untouched, vibrant spirit of medieval flavour that the old part of town breeths through tiny, but significant detalis. I don't want to shoot old, wel-known builodings and monuments. There are plenty better pictures for those. No. I will try to infuse the good ol' feeling by portraying details that people usually never notice. Details that I have grown accustomed to, and feel a bit strange that for some, they are not as natural as they are to me.
My paret's home is in the old part of town, and many of the locations I will be shooting are only streets or houses away.
Today I grabbed my camera and went for a long walk just before the sun started to set, to take advantage of that great light, and I found some pretty interesting stuff, that I will upload soon. So stay tuned.

I have a good feeling about this. ]]> ~zamolxe http://zamolxe.deviantart.com/journal/6096009/ http://zamolxe.deviantart.com/journal/6096009/ Mon, 01 Aug 2005 00:59:08 PDT jark, one of the founders of this site, community and social coolness we all came to enjoy and love, has been sacked. The signs that DA is becoming more corporate and less passionate are making love with themselves and multiplying. These signs are sick proof that, one day this community will not be as we came to understand and know it. One day, DA will not be driven by passionate people striving to make the better community center, but by corporate, technocratic and very commercial thinking people, driven by needs like maket share, profits, income, etc.

I hereby support the movement asking for respect to jark, and kindly ask for the truth to come out.
Also I intend to support and join in the "fifth aniversary do's and don'ts" effort (links of journals below).

Happy birthday DA, hope you change for the better, not for worse.

justthorne's journal - do's and don'ts for the anniversary and views of the author toward what happened
jark's jpournal
euphoria joining jark
omnioni too
jasonvelocity too, resigning

And more. Just read the journals of people you watch and you will see that a lot of senior members are handing in their resignations. And not saying anything about it so that they are not sued for it.

The problem is that I have to figure out how to do that. How to find that balance everyone is talking about. Head in the clouds and feet on the ground. I am rather "head underground and feet flying about". The issue is even more chalenging as I have to start feeling my work more, and stop thinking it as much.
So right now I am searching my soul again, as someone would say. I wonder if this search ever stops. I thought it would get easyer as I progressed in time, but it seems that it's not true. On the other hand maybe that is good. Challenging.

Is it? What do you think? ]]> ~zamolxe http://zamolxe.deviantart.com/journal/5528129/ http://zamolxe.deviantart.com/journal/5528129/ Thu, 02 Jun 2005 04:52:40 PDT Maybe I'm not the celebrating type. Or maybe I just do not know how to sell my stuff. Or maybe... all the other pipol celebrating their "5000th visitor OMG!!!!!!!" are just... what's the word I'm looking for.. overenthusiastic.
And then again, maybe they should be. Because enthusiasm and joy are a bit contagious. Mkay.

What I want to say here, is that there are more to come, I haven't precessed all the pictures from the last photo sessions, and some I have to redo (_with_ a tripod this time ).

Found some pretty interesting spots I can use, so stay tuned, as this weekend I hope to shoot some and bring back the goodies.

I'm thinking of expanding my options regarding to models, so if anyone living in Bucharest is interested, let me know, maybe we'll work something out.

This weekend should be interesting, many things taking shape. We shall see...

Feedback is always appreciated. Thanks. ]]> ~zamolxe http://zamolxe.deviantart.com/journal/5435694/ http://zamolxe.deviantart.com/journal/5435694/ Mon, 23 May 2005 05:34:50 PDT
As I mentioned before, there were two shootings. The first was on friday night with lovely Nicoleta (she told me she made an account on DA, I have to find that out ), and the second with another close friend of mine, Raluca, on sunday evening.
While Nicoleta was the subject for my "studio" stuff, Raluca "enjoyed" an urban setting (she does not like people staring). But I think that both experiences were satisfying, and the results will be here fo your commenting, viewing, liking, disliking, swearing pleasure .

Today I uploaded a sample. Two photos, introducing the two totally lovable models.

I will be uploading more this week, so stay tuned. ]]> ~zamolxe http://zamolxe.deviantart.com/journal/5397753/ http://zamolxe.deviantart.com/journal/5397753/ Thu, 19 May 2005 02:13:31 PDT
Because I have two shootings planned. One in "the studio" at night, and another in the daylight, hope tha light will be good.
Two different models, many different techniques, more than one location. I prepared and still preparing, as I have made sketches for most of the shots, but I am sure the final results will be different I am counting on the moment and mood and the atmosphere a lot.

The next exam will be next week I already took two, and three or four are yet to come.

Wish me luck. For the both of them.

I prepared for a photo shoot this weekend with the lovely Nicoleta, but unfortunately, either of us were unable to make it at appropiate times.
I hope we can do it next weekend.

Working on other subjects as well, people I showed the last photos expressed the wish to pose for me. It's all about finding time.

In the mean time, took a look at some recent photos, and decided to post some of them. Today they are two of the photos I took when went back to my hometown for easter.

First of all, the feedback is awesome, thanks all.

Then, I'd like to confess that the "studio" I supposedly took the pictures in is not a studio at all. We (the model and I) met in the evening, because I wanted to shoot during the night. Why? the place is very well lit with natural light that I cannot just "turn off" . The place is not 6 meters tall, (barely 2.5) and the only background I had handy was a dark blue courtain, that I hanged in the place of a true dark background. This place has white walls, so I was restricteed to use the lowest settings on the lighting equipment, so that the walls did not bounce light (not enough to matter, anyhow). I only used one source of light.

We spent about 5 hours on the shoot, preparations n' all. We kept talking throughout, and music was whispering in the background. Atmosphere, I came to realise, is just as important as equipment or anything else...

All photos where slightly retouched - background fading, tones and (de)saturation, levels, curves, etc.

And, we are getting to the point I am trying to make. I think one does not need a proffesional studio in order to get decent photos. Or proffesional equipment for that matter. I'll demonstrate with "ordinary" lighting and camera, when I have the opportunity.

Keep commenting. ]]> ~zamolxe http://zamolxe.deviantart.com/journal/5190906/ http://zamolxe.deviantart.com/journal/5190906/ Wed, 27 Apr 2005 04:03:45 PDT Pictures uploaded today are a part of the total goodness that resulted that night, so - more to come as I "develop" them.

I'm so excited, please full view cuz , as they say, the devil is in the details...
Ingioy!

Edit: I finished uploading the rest of the photos from the shoot on sunday, and a few others I worked on lately.
Feedback is always nice. Thanks. ]]> ~zamolxe http://zamolxe.deviantart.com/journal/5118479/ http://zamolxe.deviantart.com/journal/5118479/ Tue, 19 Apr 2005 01:08:43 PDT I was so excited about it, as I was on my way...

It turned out ok, in a sense. I realised once again, that in order to get the image off the cortex on something more tangible is not easy, and sometimes impossible. I also realised that I have to do more, lots more sessions like this if I want to progress. The shots are still on the memory card, as I did not get home yesterday, and I don't want to donwload and convert them at work.

Although I did not always get what I wanted, because sometimes the corex is blurred as well, I think some of the shots are worth posting. We shall see.

I'm very lucky to work with great lighting and a great camera, and I am sooo grateful for that.

Edit. They are up, and ready for viewing and commenting. ]]> ~zamolxe http://zamolxe.deviantart.com/journal/4968940/ http://zamolxe.deviantart.com/journal/4968940/ Fri, 01 Apr 2005 09:40:10 PST
But all of them complaining. Some of them for getting too much attention, and not the attention they want, and lots of others (me included) for not getting enough of any kind of attention.

The truth of the matter is that people don't get enough attention because they do shitty stuff. "look, it took me 5 minutes to think this through, and ten more to do it in. Do you like? alrighty". Most of the people complaining for not getting the attention they crave for (including me) are simply put, not good enough. Either not talented enough, or not knoledgeable enough. Or not mature enough, or all of them.

So what is there left for us all to do? The ones that get "too much" attention, start sharing it, and start taking responsability for that attention. They should, in my view, know that they exert an influence over the visual state of mind of many people, and start acting accordingly. The ones that do not get enough attention, should stop complaining and start working harder and deeper into themselves.

Whatever, who cares what I think anyway? ]]> ~zamolxe http://zamolxe.deviantart.com/journal/4887014/ http://zamolxe.deviantart.com/journal/4887014/ Wed, 23 Mar 2005 01:32:33 PST
I realized some time ago that my site is getting terribly out of date, and that I should do something about that. Instead of just updating the content, I thought of changing the whole site as well. Maybe it's about time I'd buy my own domain and build a proper site there.
I'm still deciding upon the design of the site, haven't decided wether to do it in flash, or stick tu HTML and CSS. I want to do something that is easier to update, so i'll need some scriptind done.
You tell me. What do you think? flash or html?
Scripting in flash would be a bit more difficult to do, as I don't know anyone who could help me (xml stuff).
Design wise, I have some ideas, I'll think about it a bit more. It's hard not to give into the trendy stuff. ]]> ~zamolxe http://zamolxe.deviantart.com/journal/4669710/ http://zamolxe.deviantart.com/journal/4669710/ Fri, 25 Feb 2005 12:05:57 PST Feedback is always nice.

P.S. It's 10 p.m. and I'm still at work. And if I don't run off now, I'll miss the last subway train home. Going, gone...

Today, I uploaded some more. Not all yet, some more to come. ]]> ~zamolxe http://zamolxe.deviantart.com/journal/4605625/ http://zamolxe.deviantart.com/journal/4605625/ Thu, 17 Feb 2005 10:19:45 PST A wave of cold air struck last week or so, and lots and lots of snow fell from the sky. And the skyes brought not only the vast amount of snow, but also some really cold nights. In some parts of the country (my hometown), there were consistent -25 degrees celsius temperatures for 5 nights in a row.
Here, the cold weather came down to "only" -20 degrees for a few nights. But that was enough.
One morning i was washing up, and I noticed that in the sink a pile of ice accumulated and peaked towards the fawcet, from were water and ice dripped.
I was amazed. I stopped for a minute and I thought... do I have anything to drink and make this ice useful? hm...
Next day, the water pipes broke, and the next couple of days I had to wash up at work.
Now the cold days are gone.
Spring comes? yay, I can't wait. Some neta photos of spring are in order... ]]> ~zamolxe http://zamolxe.deviantart.com/journal/4259238/ http://zamolxe.deviantart.com/journal/4259238/ Fri, 07 Jan 2005 03:12:23 PST The butterfly inside my head starts flapping it's wings. Hopefully the creative tsunami will ravage soon.
So much to do, so little time to do it. ]]> ~zamolxe http://zamolxe.deviantart.com/journal/3448526/ http://zamolxe.deviantart.com/journal/3448526/ Sun, 26 Sep 2004 05:13:02 PDT
I have uploaded quite often lately, and it feels good to do so, although I am rarely completely satisfied with my work. Everything should have been a bit more so and so, or maybe I could have done it more so and so. Watching other deviant's works makes me feel small and cripple. And the fact that I don't have one definite thing that I love doing - and concentrate on doing that - I feel cripples me more. I like doing all these different things, which somehow blend together, but are so diferent.
Photography is the latest passion added, Photo manip, my old true and tried friend, sometimes I flirt with vector stuff, flash design (check out my site) has been with me for some time too, and, another rather new thing to me is html based webdesign.

Well, time will tell. ]]> ~zamolxe
