2011 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 21,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 8 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

The bad girl

I feel like I have lost my abilities lately. Abilities to learn, to socialize, to communicate in other languages, to take decisions, to try new things, to think clearly, to do stuff. I don’t know what’s happening to me. If I try to look back at the past few years, I suppose odd years don’t do me any good. Luckily, here comes 2012..

So in order to hide all these symptoms, I’ve put on a pirate hat and tried my “bad girl” look, which matches with a cigarette. The light is pretty bad. I know.

Never let go

Din seria inspirata de Tom Waits:

 

 

 

 

Maria

 

Note to myself: stop shooting self portraits and start shooting girls! This is Maria, and in the near future, I hope to explore more of her feminine, but angry looks.

You can never hold back spring

Pentru ca imi place atat de mult Tom Waits, voi face o mica serie inspirata din piesele lui. (stiu ca am mai inceput niste serii, sunt imprastiata, da.)

De data asta, “You can never hold back spring”.

You can never hold back spring
You can be sure that I will never
Stop believing
The blushing rose will climb
Spring ahead or fall behind
Winter dreams the same dream
Every time

You can never hold back spring
Even though you’ve lost your way
The world keeps dreaming of spring

So close your eyes
Open you heart
To the one who’s dreaming of you
You can never hold back spring
Baby

Remember everything that spring
Can bring
You can never hold back spring

The Romantic Afternoon

Ma aduc la exasperare oamenii care fac poze sau fotografii (n-am sa ma mai leg de treaba asta aici) care posteaza zeci de fotografii pe acelasi subiect si care te duc cu gandul la jocurile de genul “ghiciti diferentele”. Chiar nu puteti sa lasati narcisismul sau entuziamul la o parte si sa publicati o singura fotografie, sau doua, si pe restul sa le lasati pentru voi? E atat de frustrant sa te uiti la o serie de 7-8 fotografii in care nu se schimba mai nimic din atitudine, doar ca e capul putin mai pe spate sau zambetul accentuat sau mai stiu eu ce. Chiar nu va dati seama ca nu va avantajeaza lucrul asta si ca fotografiile in plus distrag atentia de la fotografia care conteaza defapt? Imi creste tensiunea cand vad asa ceva, zau de nu.

Lasand asta la o parte, as vrea ca pana saptamana viitoare sa public un nou post despre Bucuresti. Despre cum ii supravietuiesc, sa spunem, despre daca si cum ne-am imprietenit, etc.

Pana atunci o serie de fotografii pe care le-am facut la Hotel Residence pentru Handmademylove, unde gasiti haine, accesorii, ceainice, scaune, etc., toate foarte dragute. :)
