Cluj-Napoca…This is a post that I have been postponing ever since the craziness with the fashion weeks. But now I know why, I waited for the 1st of October, the day when all the faculties are opening the gates for their students. Be aware, this will be a more personal post and it will be hard for me to stay within the objectivity lines because Cluj-Napoca is the city where I went to faculty and, of course, a place where I always come back with a lot of nostalgia, enthusiasm and some pride.

I won’t be blogging about its historical importance, you can found it on wikipedia, but I just want to share some amazing photos published on “I love Cluj” facebook page and some taken by me that will certainly make you want to visit it. This year I had the chance to attend the Transylvania International Film (TIFF) that took place there, do you remember about my weekend escape at the beginning of the summer? But except for TIFF, Cluj-Napoca is one of the most important academic city in Romania, it gathers a lot of students every year and, therefore it has a lot of important cultural places: theaters, operas (both Romanian and Hungarian) museums, philharmonic orchestra, but it also has the most amazing botanical garden in Romania. However, one should not miss the cobblestone streets (quit a lot) and afferent terraces (more than a lot, wink!) in order to enjoy a long coffee (just like me) and to feel the youth vibe of the city.

So, ten years ago I was sitting on a bench in the major square of Cluj-Napoca waiting for somebody to save me because I could not find the way to my newly rented studio, wink! I was eventually saved …by my friends! Great times!

snap snap: street photography.

“Love is in the air everywhere I look around,

Love is in the air with every sight and every sound…” (J. P. Young)

Note: When I first saw these two it seemed to me like they were kissing. LOL.

“What is this life if, full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare?…” (W. H. Davies)

Note: He was walking in front of me and stopped to stare at those stencils…

“I’m a genie in a cup of japanese tea, baby,

Come, come, come on in and let me out…” :- )))

Note: Fortunately, that dude didn’t notice I was photo-experimenting on him.

Of course, this last photo just HAD to ruin my post’s perfectly related title. 😀

the girl in the park.

Sintem in octombrie, 2007, acum trei ani. Cluj. Peste parc a cazut o plapumioara de rosu-sarat, galben-obosit, verde-crud si albastru-descultz. Toamna are gustul unui coktail de sange si zahar. Cerul e linistit, nu il doare nimic astazi, nici macar culoarea. Lumina e deasa ca mierea. Eu ma plimb cu buchetul meu de frunze galbene, ea cu al ei. Se uita lung la buchetul meu. Expresia ei concentrata arata ca face calcule complicate, care imi scapa. Apoi vine spre mine razand din tot sufletul ei de puf, ingramadeste peste buchetul meu de frunze si buchetul ei si spune: “Uite, acum o sa ai si mai multe…” Si fuge. 🙂 Peste 2 minute, ne intalnim iar. Eu le fac fotografii ratustelor de pe lac. Ea se joaca cu fratiorii. Are iar un buchetel de frunze uscate in maini. De data asta e randul meu: “Uite, acum chiar ca o sa ai cel mai frumos buchet de pe aici…” Si lipesc buchetul meu de al ei. Rade, il ia si nu mai fuge. In schimbul surasului aluia mai luminos decat toate supernovele la un loc, ii cer o fotografie. Si asa o prind si in obiectiv, nu numai in gand si-n suflet. Unul dintre pacatele mele e ca ma indragostesc – fara sa vreau – aproape de toti oamenii misto pe care-i cunosc intamplator. Ma indragostesc de povestile lor, cusute cu ata rosie. De ochii lor in care nu ploua niciodata cand e toamna. De  felul cum se joaca cu mainile cand un colt de soare li se agata de degete. Si ii iubesc inca multa vreme dupa ce-au iesit din viata mea. Cineva zicea, mai in gluma, mai in serios, ca inima mea e ca un hotel. But how can you blame me, cand oamenii sint asa FRUMOSI?
