Da, ne place sa calatorim. Sa gustam, sa mirosim, sa pipaim si sa ne umplem de locuri noi. Avem obiceiul de a face poze. Multe, multe poze. Nu sunt neaparat (de fapt, nu sunt deloc ) fotografii profesioniste, care sa ia in calcul luminozitatea si umbrele, distantele, planurile drepte sau inclinate; nu sunt nici cadrari perfecte. Sunt poze, pur si simplu, imagini care surprind realitati. Fara pretentii de fotografi, nu vrem sa prezentam locatiile prin monumentele care le-au facut deja faimoase si pe care le puteti admira in toata splendoarea lor pe alte site-uri de specialitate; vrem doar sa aratam ca dincolo de splendida arhitectura, geniale sculpturi sau picturi exista viata, cu oameni, cu zambete, cu cabluri, cu schele, cu masini, cu strazi, cu pavimente, cu valuri, cu rasarituri si apusuri, cu flori uscate si gunoaie. Citeam undeva ca “bucuria pe care o resimtiti intr-un anumit moment nu va fi surprinsa pe pelicula”. Permiteti-mi, doamna, sa va contrazic: este intr-o oarecare masura surprinsa; sau macar, acea imagine este capabila oricand sa iti ofere sentimentul trait odata.

Yes, we love to travel; to taste, to smell, to touch and to fill ourselves with new places. We use to take pictures, lots and lots of pictures. They are not necessarily (in fact, they are not at all ) professional photographs, that take into account lights and shadows, distances, straight or prone plans; they are not even centered sometimes. They are mere pictures, images that reflect realities. Not daring for a moment to be considered photographs, we do not wish to present places through monuments that already made them famous and that you can always admire on other types of specialized websites; we just want to show you that, beyond the wonderful architecture, the brilliant sculptures or paintings, there is life, with people, smiles, cables, platforms, cars, streets, pavements, waves, sunsets and sunrises, dried flowers and garbage. I was reading somewhere that “the joy that you feel at a definite moment in time cannot be captured on camera”. Please allow me madam to disagree a little: it is up to a certain point true; yet, the image that you capture is always able to give you back the emotion that you once felt.
