I enjoy learning. That means I’m in a permanent state of curiousity.
I like taking photographs and writing. When I post my works I’m always wondering if I would like seeing them on the walls of my house.
My writings are moments in time when I took some steps away from everything and realized something important.
I’m living life as it comes. My greatest wish is to be able to look back and see I left something worth noticing. Even for a few seconds.
I’m Romanian, born and raised in Bucharest, which is the capital of Romania. I feel the need to tell you that there are no vampires in Transylvania and prove Bram Stoker wrong. We just have beautiful landscapes, wonderful monastaries and great food.
For the negative sides, send me an e-mail, I’ll put together a survival guide :-))
I’ve moved to the Netherlands almost a year ago and since then I’ve been living in Zoetermeer. I don’t know Dutch yet, that is a work in progress, but I speak English, French and Romanian (and understand a bit of Spanish and Italian).
I used to work as a copywriter and loving it(a copywriter is the dude/dudette that works in advertising, allied with an Art Director, and has to come up with concepts, ideas, texts to make the advertising more OMGoshness). That was your crash-course on Advertising 101. :))
I love animals and nature and I try to observe their beauty wherever I go, because I think that they’re God’s greatest works of art…ever!
Other than that, I’m just your normal, psychotic, next-door neighbor with a big freezer!
joking about the freezer
Oh, yes! Tools of the trade:
Camera Canon EOS 400D
Lenses&Co.
- Canon Macro Lens EF-S 60mm 1:2.8 USM
- Canon Zoom Lens EF 24-105mm 1:4 L IS USM
- A filter that takes out reflections (don’t know who made it, I’ll find out and tell you later, since all the gear is not mine, but my bfs haha )
- A white balance filter from ExpoDisc and Canon Speedlite 580EX Flash Unit, which I never use (the flash unit I still need to read the manual of it).
Post-Production Program
Adobe Lightroom
I don’t like Photoshop, because it takes all the EXIF info out of the pictures. It ticks me off :))

Relax, Enjoy… / It will soon be over.
And the world looked down on pig / and pig waved a pink paw
Two sparrows eating out of a bread crumb; / Taking turns.
I sink my fingers in the grass / just like I’d pull his hair, / except his hair…
Soft, Juicy, Sweet, / it drips on my lips and…
