I served the king of England

- Pai daca Dumnezeu e cel care pune mana pe tzatzele reginei Angliei, inseamna ca stam de vorba cu printul Philip...
- Hmm. Asta ar pune expresia "Unsul lui Dumnezeu" intr-o cu totul alta lumina :)

Gand din Vama

Oare ce-or sa-si spuna Michael Jackson si Bela Bartok cand se vor intalni, acolo sus?

Death (On life, death and other issues)

The minor god of progress is silently contemplating the sacrifice of innocence.

Photographic Divination

It was in MoMA's courtyard, while resting near the water basin, when it struck me: there was a strange crack in the architectural landscape around us. Three seconds later, I knew what it was: the most clear cut, modern and unmagical pool in the world was full of coins, a clear sign that we must be surrounded by a lot of unhapiness. Funny enough, probably the most of it has something to do with money.

So as the water was waving, distorting the image of the world (well, mostly the trees & the vegetation around the pool), I've made this photographic, almost divinatory experiment: I've shoot a rapid sequence of pictures (around 30), trying to capture the elusive images hidden into the flickering shadow.

Around seven of them tell discernable stories.

The Devil's Eye

Temptation I (18th century man facing temptation)

Greed I (Visceral, like the eel biting of anything that glitters)

Temptation II (The Easter Island man is looking at the sky, imagining the Universe)

Greed III (A coin flipping claw)

Temtation III (My face should be on this coin)

Brooklyn Bridge

City lights

Kindle Demographics

It's like technological Viagra. A not so scientific study suggests that the early adopters for this technology are in fact much older than previously foreseen, questioning the preconception on the domination of the 18-34 group over this category.

Zilele triste ale filmului european

- Aoleo, parca s-au strans toti necajitii in filmul european. Mai lipseau un catzel schiop cersetor si o tzestoasa cu hemoroizi.
- Nu cred ca exista asa ceva.
- Normal ca exista. Ce crezi ca s-a intamplat cu tzestoasele ninja dupa ce au imbatranit?!

It's fucking Richard Burton

Al naibii, cred ca sunt ultimul om de pe planeta care s-a prins cine e naratorul :). Richard Burton recita din Dylan Thomas intr-unul din ad-urile mele favorite, facut de fostii mei colegi de retea de la DDB London pentru Volkswagen.

Despre mestesugari

Intrand week end ul asta la Green Hours, am realizat brusc ce ma sacaia in legatura cu targurile de hand made de prin Bucuresti: people, you got it all wrong. You don't struggle for perfection. You show no craftmanship. You have no self respect.

Lucrurile pe care le faceti arata ca si cum ati lucra pe banda rulanta, in graba, lipind cu putin clei idei de mana a doua. Pana una alta, cunosc doar trei mestesugari romani care isi merita numele: Lola, Monica Paduret si Ana Ponta.

A, ar mai si Rolando Negoita, doar ca daca te uiti la price tag, intelegi ca el are chiar foarte mult respect fata de sine.

Ceea ce e bine.
