Whispers on the streets of London: "They are between Us".
I said: "We are between Them".

London- spring time

2011-03-23T18:02:00.008+01:00

I saw dogs hanging happily from enormous tree, I saw squirrels hunting foxes and relaxed hedgehogs drinking coffee on a little terrace just outside my underworld room. I am still wondering why the fact was not on the front page of London's newspapers.

At 1989 km SE from London, my friend is writing true urban stories:

Imprints of the Earth - Simona Ciobotariu
The glorious visual imprints of the earth resonates with Simona Ciobotariu’s collection of art by oxidation, exhibited at TeaSmith Gallery, Spitalfields.

Simona documents nature at work through her encounters on the streets, empty factories, barren fields and abandoned houses in Parma, Italy.

The photographs capture nature in its abstract form or so you think, as the real subject is oxidation of metal scraps. Given sufficient oxygen and water, iron mass eventually converts entirely to rust and disintegrates into nothingness. Simona has captured a stage between these transitions before the earth reclaims it. A phase of interest of an abandoned piece of metal well past its glory days.

Born in Transylvania and a recent decade in Italy, Simona is on a short stay in London mastering Photography at The Metropolitan University.

Sushi, coffee, conversations, cigarettes, red heads are her road to heaven. Open her mystical jar and you will be there too.

Of course, the camera comes along.

Between sushi, coffee and silence

2009-04-01T18:46:00.004+02:00

I invite you all to take a cup of coffee with me...or maybe it's sushi time...
Do you belive in the complete silence?

I can't explain and I won't even try.

Sea time

2009-03-20T10:26:00.016+01:00

Last night in Portovenere I did not found the cats i usually see running on the beach, nor the fishermen with their strange glance in their eyes. I just found the sea, breeze and myself. That was enough to have a great time.

Exhibition of antique books- Milan

2009-03-16T10:24:00.004+01:00

Milan. It's warm outside. All the way on the subway I had the impression that I will meet someone. That was not a comfortable thing because was giving me a sense of claustrophobia. Remember: I don't like the subway!

Milan. Was the lunch time and the city was desert. At least, not even an italian was arround. I had to walk up and down four times a street before finding the palace where the exhibition took place. Remember: my sense of direction is always an opinion!

Milan. The exhibition of antique books. The smell was the best part. I just adore the smell of the old books and I was surprised to discover that I like the people that deal with them.

Milan: I'll be back soon!

Hiding behind the light

"I get the impression that every finger in the room is pointing at me."

"Naah."

"I tell you, only the good manners stops me not to spit in their faces."

"Than hide yourself untill the right time will come."

Doubts

2009-03-10T17:31:00.035+01:00

"Hey, what are you thinking of?"
"I told you i hate this question!"
"Come on...tell me, tell me!!"
"Just thinking about escaping..."

"You must be kidding. You have Everything! Why escaping?"
"You think you are smart telling me i have Everything?"
"I am smart!"
"Sssst!Someone could hear you!"

"There's no one. That's why i am thinking about freedom."
"Patethic!"
"I never said it is not patethic. And stop staring at me!"
