Paraddox Photo

While we were away at Vama Veche we saw a lot of people around there with their dogs and my girlfriend said she would like a dog someday.

I said ok, we’ll see one day if we can take care of dog also, cause we already have two cats and 19 fishes

Yesterday my girlfriend had some spare time at work and started making calls to dog breeders and asking about prices and when would they have puppies available. She sent me a few pictures of dogs she found and said she’d be very grateful if we could go and check out some of the puppies, for information purposes only.(and I believed her)

She found a Boxer dog breeder about 70km away from Timisoara that had a couple of male puppies available, pure breed with a pedigree if we wanted one, so at about 18:00 we set out to go see them.

When we arrived in Arad she was pretty excited about the puppies so we stopped at an ATM and withdrew the amount of money the guy was asking for the puppy, just in case we like a lot one of the puppies.

As soon as we entered the courtyard where the puppies were, we fell in love with them and so we are now the proud owners of Taro.

Name: Taro – meaning First Born Son (cause both our cats are female :p)
Race: Boxer
Color: coffee with milk
Age: 2.5months
Weight: 10kg
Attitude: the laziest boxer ever

Not 24 hours later, he already pissed and shat all over the apartment but he is so cute you can’t blame him

Taro’s father is literally a monster, he’s about 60kg of pure muscle but with a gentle nature and the guy we bought Taro from says Taro resembles his father a lot.

This morning I took him for a walk and I let him play with a female Cocker Spaniel and guess what? he tried to hump her ), and he’s only 10weeks old….maybe we should have named him Hugh

Here is a picture of his first moments in our apartment.

I’m back from my vacation from Vama Veche and I have a lot of images from there to share but first things first.

In the morning of the day I left Timisoara to go on vacation I also shot the civil wedding of Laurentiu and Anca but I didn’t have the time to process the images until yesterday.

The whole thing(ceremony+pictures afterwards) lasted about 80minutes and even though I shot a picture every 20 seconds that still doesn’t give me a lot of images to show but I managed to put together a few.

Some people asked me why am I writing stuff around here in English instead of Romanian.

Why indeed?

That is because I think English is a language that people from many parts of the world can understand, including the people from Romania, so I think it is the proper way to go. I for one feel frustrated if I go to a website and all the writing there is in Russian for example, because I know 2 words in Russian at max, so I want to avoid other people getting frustrated about my blog.

If I’d want to earn some money blogging maybe I’d be writing things in Romanian so search engines could properly index my website in the .ro sphere and so on, but for me this blog is just a tool for showing my photographs to my friends and other people that enjoy my work.

I still have to go to work for a couple of days and then it’s holiday time.

First I’m going to drop my cats at my mother’s place in Oradea and I’ll stay there until Tuesday evening.

Then I’ll go to the seaside at Vama Veche for about 8 days. I can barely wait to get there because this past year has been full of stress and I’m so tired I can barely focus on anything anymore and I just want to lay back and do nothing except photography.

Last year I didn’t take my camera with me and I regretted it because there are a lot of interesting people to shoot over there. Unfortunately I don’t own a laptop so I’ll only be able to post images when I return to Timisoara and that is around the 21st of August.

And talking about my work here are another couple of shots with the lovely Isa.

Last night I finally finished sorting and processing the photos from the weddings I photographed and I had time to process a couple of my own images.

I hope you like them.
