Basically, this is not a post with pictures. I just feel the need to leave a few words about me and photography.
I'm becoming more and more fascinated about this journey. I have a strange and nice feeling every time I'm developing a film and everything smells like it was developed. I know the visible image will appear on my negative and it's forming as I stand near the tank. I'm trying to imagine what happens there, in the dark, and even if I know theoretically the process, I can't stop being fascinated by the fact that an invisible image, formed from salty silver takes life.
Every time I look into the viewfinder it's like I step into a whole different world. I lose track of time and reason and if you'd ask me after that what was I thinking about when I was looking through it I would not be able to give a clear and rational answer.
As I press the shutter, I know that in a fraction of a second every bit of my "shutter trip" is physically forming an holistic image and even if it will not show clearly in my picture, I know I have it.
Millions of tiny particles are joined in an immaterial entity; one controls the particles and gives them felling and soul. And the essence, lies in how the light makes it.

I want to mirror your image to its fullest perfection, never be blind or too old
to uphold your weighty wavering reflection.
I want to unfold.
R. Rilke
I am completely touched and amazed, and thankful for reading this.
Your words ('Every time I look into the viewfinder it's like I step into a whole different world. I lose track of time and reason...') remind me of what
Barthes once wrote: 'The Photographer's 'second sight' does not consist in seeing' but in being there.'
You are so there in your photos and one can feel your presence within the frame. This is so rarely achieved and so beautiful once it happens.
cuvintele tale ma infioara, ma plimba, ma fac sa zbor, ma arunca. fotografiile sunt obsesii, sentimente, vijelii sau planete emanand o liniste atat de adanca incat uneori ma sperie.
when you love something that much, nothing else matters and everytime you look at your pictures you can find yourself in them.
Foarte frumos!
