“Can you come over real quick, just want to check if I have the pictures in the right order”, said M., after downloading my submissions to the computer. Haha, that shows how well they fit the topics. NOT. Oh well. These are the pictures I chose: 01 Amadeus 02 La Paloma 03 Imagine 04 O…
We’re meeting at a playground in a park for the mid-day break, soon the next 6 songs are ready to entertain and challenge us for the second half of the day. While they’re downloading, I play the first one: 07 Don’t worry, be happy (Bobby McFerrin) A few kids swinging, one playing in the sandbox,…
For this photo marathon I’ve decided to use the small old Nikon V1 on the big 70-200 F4 lens, giving me a long 190-540mm reach. Miraculously, the little black camera that stopped working in Rome started working again, after repeated shutter presses, firmware reinstalling, battery taken out… I don’t know what did it, but I’ll…
The medieval festival in Sighisoara 2009 will remain in history as the “sus mainile” event. Participants will know what I’m talking about. The narrow streets of cobbled stone (and other improvised pavement types) were host to a diverse group of friends which resulted in an extraordinarily fun melting pot of personalities, moods and cultures, united…
Euro2008 is over for the Romanian soccer team. After a brilliantly executed tactical (albeit sinfully boring) goalless draw against world championship runner-up France and a sensational 1-1 against world champion Italy, after one of the most thrilling games in the competition, they lamentably failed to beat a relaxed Dutch squad to qualify to the quarterfinals.…

For a neutral person, quite a boring game, but from an “involved” perspective it was amazing, especially for the ones in the…
Sechselaeuten is a traditional guild holiday in Zurich. Monday was free, and I took the opportunity to go check out the guild parade.

My photographic insights below. http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf And a small movie depicting a full guild parade: children, fanfare,…
Went to Zürifäscht yesterday, i.e. Zurich-Fest, Zurich-party, organized every 3 years. Crazyness, 700k people in the center of a 350k city. It got transformed in a city-entertainment-park, with lots of food, drinks, drunks, and adrenaline-pumping rollercoaster-like devices. Wheehee. Luckily I met two friends-of-friends, with whom I had a nice time. Big wheel, good food and…
