“Life is a river
thats what granddad always use to say
…..a beginning, an end, a million different ways in between.
I used this metaphor my whole life …..how it ebbed and flowed following the path of least resistance barreling straight through the impossible, clear as air and black as night. But no matter what direction or how it moved or looked like, the point according to granddad was that the river always moved forward. What kept him running the rabbits until he was old and gray: the mystery of what laid around the bend.
These days that mystery is hard to find. The river is distant the sky clouded with concrete. For many of us life’s great adventure all is beauty, all its connection, sails by unnoticed.
Funny thing is the river is never that far off
Granddad was all about those connections, he had his hands in earth as much as he did machines, maybe that’s why he understad both sides. Sure we till and cut, we reap and sow, yeay we do great damage, but we are also capable of great good. After all, no matter how smart we think we are, we are just another part of the mystery.
I once read
that life is a act of suicide and its true,
probably we are the only “creature” on the planet that know this.”
Maybe that’s why we are so good at killing, it’s going to die anyway might as well have it for ourselves. So we take, we take some more but in the proces we kill others less tangible identities, things like flow, joy, interaction, purpose, another way thought the world is lost, not by one particular person but by instinct. Survival the very chaos of life itself.
We spent hours thinking,
designing, questioning, also you can spent a few seconds
lost in one moment.
No time to think, just reaction, focus, all the worry washed away by the rush

“Daca pentru o clipa Dumnezeu ar uita ca sunt o marioneta din carpa si mi-ar darui o bucatica de viata, probabil ca n-as spune tot ceea ce gandesc, insa in mod categoric as gandi tot ceea ce zic. As da valoare lucrurilor, dar nu pentru ce valoreaza, ci pentru ceea ce semnifica. As dormi mai putin, dar as visa mai mult, intelegand ca pentru fiecare minut in care inchidem ochii, pierdem saizeci de secunde de lumina. As merge cand ceilati se opresc, m-as trezi cand ceilalti dorm. As asculta cand ceilalti vorbesc si cat m-as bucura de o inghetata cu ciocolata! Daca Dumnezeu mi-ar face cadou o bucatica de viata, m-as imbraca foarte modest, m-as intinde la soare, lasand la vederea tuturor nu numai corpul, ci si sufletul meu. Dumnezeul meu, daca as avea o bucatica de viata… N-as lasa sa treaca nici o zi fara sa le spun oamenilor pe care ii iubesc, ca ii iubesc.
As convinge pe fiecare femeie sau barbat spunandu-le ca sunt favoritii mei si as trai indragostit de dragoste. Oamenilor le-as demonstra cat se insala crezand ca nu se mai indragostesc cand imbatranesc, nestiind ca imbatranesc cand nu se mai indragostesc! Unui copil i-as da aripi,dar l-as lasa sa invete sa zboare singur. Pe batrani i-as invata ca moartea nu vine cu batranetea, ci cu uitarea. Atatea lucruri am invatat de la voi, oamenii… Am invatat ca oata lumea vrea sa traiasca pe varful muntelui, insa fara sa bage de seama ca adevarata fericire rezida in felul de a-l escalada. Am invatat ca atunci cand un nou nascut strange cu pumnul lui micut, pentru prima oara, degetul parintelui, l-a acaparat pentru totdeauna. Am invatat ca unom are dreptul sa se uite in jos la altul, doar atunci cand ar trebui sa-l ajute sa se ridice.
Spune intotdeauna ce simti si fa ceea ce gandesti .
Daca as stii ca asta ar fi ultima oara cand te voi vedea dormind, te-as imbratisa foarte strans si l-as ruga pe Dumnezeu sa fiu pazitorul sufletului tau. Daca as stii ca asta ar fi ultima oara cand te voi vedea iesind pe usa, ti-as da o imbratisare, un sarut si te-as chema inapoi sa-ti dau mai multe. Daca as stii ca asta ar fi ultima oara cand voi auzi vocea ta, as inregistra fiecare dintre cuvintele tale pentru a le putea asculta o data si inca o data pana la infinit. Daca as stii ca acestea ar fi ultimele minute in care te-as vedea, as spune te iubesc.
Nu mi-as asuma, in mod prostesc, gandul ca deja stii. Intotdeauna exista ziua de maine si viata ne da de fiecare data alta oportunitate pentru a face lucrurile bine, dar daca cumva gresesc si ziua de azi este tot ce ne ramane, mi-ar face placere sa-ti spun cat te iubesc, ca niciodata nu te voi uita! Ziua de maine nu-i este asigurata nimanui,tanar sau batran. Azi poate sa fie ultima zi cand ii vezi pe cei pe care-i iubesti. De aceea, nu mai astepta, fa-o azi, intrucat daca ziua de maine nu va ajunge niciodata, in mod sigur vei regreta ziua cand nu ti-ai facut timp pentru un suras, o imbratisare, un sarut si ca ai fost prea ocupat ca sa le conferi o ultima dorinta. Sa-i mentii pe cei pe care-i iubesti aproape de tine, spune-le la ureche cat de multa nevoie ai de ei, iubeste-i si trateaza-i bine, ia-ti timp sa le spui imi pare rau, iarta-ma, te rog si toate cuvintele de dragoste pe care le stii.
Nimeni nu-si va aduce aminte de tine pentru gandurile tale secrete. Cere-i Domnului taria si intelepciunea pentru a le exprima. Demostreaza-le prietenilor tai cat de importanti sunt pentru tine.”

Da,
S-a anuntat ploaie… dar cu toate astea, eu si Alex am pornit sa vedem Castelul Bannfy de la Bontida.
S u p e r b !!!
Mi-a placut mult aerul, arhitectura si faptul ca e spatios, are o curte mare, primitoare si are si un mic lac. M-a bucurat tare faptul ca in prezent se afla in proces de restaurare
. Puteti afla mai multe aici, eu va daruiesc cateva imagini si va recomand sa mergeti in vizita
. Puteti servi o cafea pe terasa mica si cocheta si sa visati la lumea nobililor din acele vremuri.
Enjoy!
p.s. si incep cu ultima cand chiar venea furtuna

Hello my dear friends!
I’m not sure how to write this because it seems so incredibly unbelievable, but I’ve been dying to share this with you all. As you can see I’ve been published on the front page of The Smaak van Italie Magazine from Amsterdam, Netherlands.
I still can’t believe it
…. it’s like a dream 
When it was just "maybe we want your photo for an article about Venice" I was like "ok" and now I’m like "can some one pinch me so I’ll know is real"

Craciunul aduce magia sarbatorilor de iarna. 
Acum e timpul cand lumea viseaza, spera si crede ca nimic nu e imposibil. Fie ca acest Craciun sa va umple sufletul de bucurie, sa va aduca bunavoie si ingerii sa va stea de veghe in pragul acestor sarbatori luminate.
Craciun Fericit tuturor!

Here I am.
This will be a place for series from photo-shoots, events, weddings and other things I like to believe I can photograph.
See you around!
