Alexandru

Teo and Anca are one of the best memories I have of my time in Switzerland: their friendship spirit, their love for each other, their easy going ways, their smiles and laugh... Oh, and the food in their kitchen in Zurich!!

I missed their wedding in their homeland, Romania, but I knew I would wait not long before celebrating Alexandru, a tiny sweet creature ready to explode in an enormous life!

Dear Anca and Teo, parenthood must be scaring, beautiful and powerful... you'll simply rock.
Dear Alexandru, welcome on board, sit down and relax... your captains will lead you through, for a while a least, so just enjoy a nice trip!

Catch it

Everyone's life is a 3D no-fiction story on an ever running film: maybe that's what makes photography such an unique art: I believe in the power and ability of catching into a image a life-moment that, with a turmoil of thoughts, feelings and meanings on it, is but still.

The World Press Photo exhibits every year the best photographs taken by journalist... their job makes it such that they often are not in the merriest place on earth, but rather where the global news is... and global news is rarely good news.

Therefore, when a couple of months ago I went to see the 2007 exposition (for the year 2006) I wasn't expecting a cheering time but rather fascinating pictures with not the easiest feeling attached... I wasn't disappointed.

Once there I played the game: choose your favorite 3 photos and tell me why... simple rules made the game tough... the photo are many and so are the categories... Eventually you get out with one feeling: that life keeps rolling on your film but what makes your story are the instants.
