My Home - A collection of street photographs made on film and representing the social and environmental existence of the city I live in. Chisinau, Moldova.

During my personal experiences and as a photographer I encountered different people. The most simple, kind, honest and respectful are people who have less. Around them I feel that I don't have to play a role or to make them like me...I am just being human, open and respectful.

I seldom finish what I start...this is why this blog is so poor in images. This is how I am. I like more shooting, than posting, tweeting, marketing myslef and all these stuff...As my good friend and mentor, John McConnico said : "Marketing I am afraid is at least 80%, that is true of all things, not just photography"...and he is right. I have no idea how other photographers are doing it...when do they have all the time...

Well, I wanna start a project on people who work...who work with their hands. It is an ongoing project and I'll try my best to post as often as possible. I will call is With Bare Hands...It's simple, I'll not write a long philosophical text making it more interesting or comlicated or whatever...just a theme to show something I like and which is not showed yet...at least in my country. 

Enjoy.

This guy was fixing front car windows. He fixes cracks.

It was like 4 degrees inside and he was working without even feeling it. He barely move for 1 hours doing what he has to do.

The place was filled with old posters starting with Lenin and ending with an image of a Romanian poet. It was a trip back in time.

I'm being lazy or busy. Busy because I study Swedish and lazy because it's been too hot these days...I guess. Anyway, here are some photos from today. I don't have a lot of time for stories or long term projects, so I'm mainly shooting street. I love it. Don't know why. It's great to put pieces of a moment together, I believe. Check out my friends blog. He is a French photographer doing his stories in Moldova. http://moldaviemoldova.over-blog.com/

[caption id="attachment_447" align="aligncenter" width="700" caption="Street Moment"] [/caption] I haven't updated my blog for a long time. That's bad. I'll do my best to show one image everyday. That will keep my working and will stimulate working with photography. ___ One of my images had been published in a German Economic Magazine

I found the answer to this question by looking at this image for couple of minutes. I liked the immensity of what people believe and the immensity of the power with which they are holding their believes. I took this several years ago on Kodak ProFoto 100 with a Pentax SFXn camera. I just like it. Enjoy.
