Rock it!

I really love these teens enjoying rock music. Few romanian bands performed last weekend during an annual festival called "Serbarile Timisoreana" in Bacau, Ro. I covered the event for the newspaper I work for, trying to catch the thrill of the audience. Everyone enjoyed the show, especially these wonderful youths.

2011 Romanian Boxing National Championship

Last week I photographed the boxers of the Romanian National Championship which was held in Bacau. This time I was focused more on the ring action side of the competition, rather than the off ring. I made a selection of what I considered the best shots I took at the competition. Hope you will like it.

Dana's work was shown in many international exhibitions and she got important photojournalism awards. How, she's working on great projects which she approach in a unique style.
