Photo Set 6/2026 – Back in the Carpathians
As always, these are basically just straight out of the camera. The panorama was stitched and a few photos had some border and angle-corrections added in Photoshop. Same ol’ setup: Fujifilm X-T30 III with the classic XF 18-55mmF2.8-4 R LM…

Photo Set 5/2026 – Sinaia
I’ll be honest about two things. First, I’m really bad inexperienced at post-processing photos in DaVinci (even less so in Lightroom). Besides playing with the exposure I don’t like to use (and don’t even know a lot about) other editing…

The Odyssey, a quick review
A few points about The Odyssey, though I know I’m a bit late on this… The Odyssey has quite a few qualities going for it, sure, but there has been a lot of talk surrounding it and some pundits got…

A bagful of bad movies
In the past couple of months I have watched, gawked at, sat through, and got annoyed at several bad movies. It got me thinking at what makes a bad movie… well, “bad”. It’s probably easier to define great movies. They…

Notes on Foucault’s Pendulum by Umberto Eco
(Pictured: Rhodes Cemetery, Greece. A rose cross monument dedicated to the Knights of Rhodes – I think)It’s unfair that people compare Foucault’s Pendulum to Ulysses. Ulysses is a novel that spans an entire day but some take years to finish.…

Cimitirul Bellu nu are legătură cu Barbu Bellu
De vreo două luni am cercetat subiectul Cimitirului Șerban-Vodă (numit popular Bellu). Inițial nu voiam decât să aflu adevărul despre istoria acestuia, pentru că toate site-urile și toți “experții” se contraziceau, sau pur și simplu nu se pupau datele între…

“I, for one, welcome our new AI overlords” (it’s mandatory to do so)
Thinking about this a couple of weeks ago I had another point I wanted to make about AI, namely how it’s like smoking 100 years ago – damaging but presented as a great addition to your life. Now, as this…

New old gear – Carl Zeiss Jena DDR Sonnar 135mm f/3.5 M42

New(ish) old gear – Helios-44
A few years ago I was messing around with film photography. I had my grandpa’s old cameras and a Canon I bought at a flea market. A friend gave me a very sturdy Pentax camera he wasn’t using and after…

Photo Set 3/2026
New gear starting this month, a sweet Fujifilm X-T30 III that I can’t wait to take around town for photos. My photography skills are a bit rusty, and the gloomy February weather didn’t help with the light, but it was…

Cultural Dispatch Ed. 2
1. Record This year has started out with an absolute bang. On New Year’s night I discovered, quite by accident, my new favourite band. It’s rather annoying because the more I looked into them I found they played Glastonbury and…
