Can’t you see he’s the man,
Let me hear you applaud,
He is more than a man
He’s a shiny golden god.

It’s not easy to find your way. It’s even harder to stay on it.

But again, it’s just a matter of perspective.

Sighisoara Blues Festival – 2010

Aurel-Dragos Hofnar — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 17:36:46 +0000

Raul Kusak, Homemade Jamz, Eden Brent, Sue Foley, Doug Macleod and Eric Sardinas. They all sung at Sighisoara Blues Festival. Luckily I had the time to go at the BluesFest every day and I can only say I really enjoyed it. Underneath are some of the photographs I took at the event. I tried to shoot every performer the way I perceived his/her music. Therefore some photographs are blurrier than others. Also, I enjoyed listening to some of them more than photographing them .

For an other view over the event take a look at Sever and Andreea’s photographs from the event.

Yaaay It’s Irina Stefan time again ! Found this photograph in my archive when I was looking for other photographs. The photograph is taken at the preparations for one of her concerts. You can imagine the original one does not look like this over-postprocessed version but guess what. I like this one better. It has a feeling. It looks wired and somehow wrong. But at the same time it looks interesting. What do you think ?

Aurel-Dragos Hofnar — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 23:38:06 +0000

This photograph should not even exist since it’s the 37th from a 36 positions film. Heh it’s shot at f/1.4 in the Culture Pub at low light. I like this photograph because at first I was like: “Ok … it’s ok” … but then i saw her left arm that was very blurry and the photograph just somehow changed in my mind. That was tricky

Saint Ghita

Aurel-Dragos Hofnar — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:20:02 +0000

Meet Ghita! Ghita is a colorful person (even if the picture is B/W, you still can see this), who lives in my hometown, Sighisoara, where in the hot summer days you find him on his house’s moat playing on a guitar all day long. He can play you everything you want, just stay and talk with him. I personally heard him sing some Jimi Hendrix (flawless) and then some Jazz and Metallica … basically he can play everything. Just … stay with him … Ghita is kinda lonely … He has no family, no real friends and no money. His only love is his guitar and the music it makes.

Pe un munte intr-o tara foarte indepartata
Sta un om cu ochii-nchisi si spune ce ne asteapta.
Lumea nu-l asculta, il crede un nebun
Caci vorbele lui sunt ca niste lovituri de tun.

The Thinker

Aurel-Dragos Hofnar — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 20:10:13 +0000

“I was walking down the street just the other day / I saw these …” wait … that’s the wrong quote for this post. But it’s true. I was taking a walk some day when I saw this man on a bank with a book and a pencil in his hands. I asked him kindly if I could take a photo of him. He agreed and here is the photograph. Well, as I usually do, I like to talk a little to my subjects, if it’s possible. So I asked him what he was doing and he answered “I’m thinking.“. I decided not to ask him what he was thinking about, because that’s the most stupid question someone can ask, because thinking is the only privilege someone has and nobody will answer honestly. Who knows what he was thinking … I don’t … but probably something like “What does this weirdo want from me ?”

me: "What are you doing ?" The Thinker: "I think."

All colors are sending us a message.

Regardless of the color the message is different.

Red to blue, and beyond.

Over the years studies shown us the meaning of colors.

Good thing we have science.

All photographs are sending us a different message.

Now, what does this one send ?

Can you see it ?

Exactly.

From red to blue, there are bubbles and there are you.

Sypnatique – Sinapses with a twist.

Meet Irina, one of my friends. Yeah … probably you expect me to tell you more stuff about her, but this is not a dating site so i’ll tell you more about the photograph instead ! I know you all want that …

The photograph is shot at a photo session with two professional photographers, where I was one of the assistants, and well … in the break between my shifts, I took the camera and tried to get some good pictures. Unfortunately this is the only one that somehow pleased me.

Shot on a car trip with Sever in the surroundings of Sighisoara.

The old woman was sitting on a bank in front of her house in the village Stejareni and almost ignored us when we asked if she allows us to photograph her.

The old man was mowing on a field near Danes. You can see on Sever’s blog the man’s first reaction when he saw us coming towards him. My shot is made just after we talked to him and he was happy to be photographed.

You realize you're old, only when you start thinking about it ...
