Rock it!

2011-08-15T05:20:00.000-07:00

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.

There won't be necessarily pictures of the week's main events; I'd rather say that I will select the pictures by quality and creativity. I hope you will like them and I hope to take better and better pictures.

Ro: Incepand de saptamana asta voi face, printre altele, un nou experiment: voi incerca sa postez cate un slide la sfarsitul fiecarei saptamani cu cele mai reusite poze(in opinia mea) din saptamana respectiva. Nu vor fi neaparat ilustrate cele mai importante evenimente din saptamana; mai degraba criteriul de selectie va fi calitatea si creativitatea lor. Sper sa va placa si sa vin saptamana de saptamana cu poze din ce in ce mai bune.

World Press Photo 2011

2011-02-13T12:47:00.000-08:00

En: The photography of South African photojournalist Jodi Bieber was selected World Press Photo of the Year 2010, by the international jury of the 54th annual World Press Photo contest. The portrait of Bibi Aisha was also Awarded first prize in the Portraits Singles category. Listen to the reaction of the winner.

“This could become one of those pictures — and we have maybe just 10 in our lifetime — where if somebody says, ‘You know, that picture of a girl’ — you know exactly which one they’re talking about,” said David Burnett, the chairman of the general jury, in a statement released by World Press Photo.

Another juror, Ruth Eichhorn, the director of photography of Geo magazines in Hamburg, Germany, was quoted as saying:

It’s an incredibly strong image. It sends out an enormously powerful message to the world, about the 50 percent of the population that are women, so many of whom still live in miserable conditions, suffering violence. It is strong because the woman looks so dignified, iconic.

Ms. Bieber, who was born in South Africa, trained under Ken Oosterbroek in 1993. She worked in South Africa through 1996, when she attended the World Press Photo Joop Swart Masterclass, after which she began working for The New York Times Magazine, among others. She has previously won eight World Press Photo awards.

Here you can see the gallery of the 2011 contest winners.

Ro: Fotografia fotojurnalistei Jodi Bieber din Africa de Sud a fost aleasa World Press Photo of the Year 2010 de catre juriul international al celei de-a 54-a editie a concursului anual World Press Photo. Portretul lui Bibi Aisha a fost, de asemenea, premiat cu locul I la categoria Portrait Singles. Ascultati reactia castigatoarei.

"Aceasta poate deveni una dintre acele fotografii - si avem poate doar 10 in toata viata - in care daca cineva spune: ' Stii, poza cu fata aia...', vei sti exact despre care anume vorbeste", a spus David Burnett, presedintele juriului intr-o declaratie data de World Press Photo.

O alta declaratie a unui membru al juriului, Ruth Eichhorn, director de imagine la revista Geo, Hamburg, Germania, a fost:

"E o imagine incredibil de puternica. Ea transmite un mesaj extraordinar de puternic intregii lumi despre jumatate din populatia lumii pe care o reprezinta femeile din care sunt inca atat de multe care traiesc in conditii mizerabile si indura violenta. Este puternica pentru ca femeia este atat de demna, atat de iconica.

Doamna Bieber, care s-a nascut in Africa de Sud, a fost indrumata de Ken Oosterbroek in 1993. Lucra in Africa de Sud in 1996 cand a participat la un Masterclass World Press Photo Joop Swart, in urma caruia a inceput sa lucreze pentru revista New York Times, printre altele. In trecut a mai castigat opt premii World Press Photo.

Ultima poza

2010-02-28T05:50:00.000-08:00

Vasile Lelea(S), de la Stiinta Bacau, incearca sa puncteze in meciul cu CSM Bucuresti, contand pentru faza a II-a a play off-ului diviziei A2 la volei masculin, in Bacau, sambata, 27 februarie 2010.

Aceasta este, probabil ultima poza pe care am facut-o si o voi face in Sala Sporturilor din Bacau. Nu are nimic extraordinar in ea, dar conteaza foarte mult pentru mine, emotional, prin faptul ca este ultima. Astazi, 28 februarie 2010, am trait ceva ce nu credeam sa ajung vreodata sa traiesc. Nu, nu este nimic grav si probabil nu intereseaza pe aproape nimeni indignarea mea. Sa va povestesc. A avut loc la Sala Sporturilor meciul de handbal masculin dintre Stiinta Bacau si Minaur Baia Mare. Am fost, ca de obicei, la meci pentru a face fotografii pentru agentia Mediafax, pentru care lucrez, ca si colaborator foto, de mai multi ani. Nu mi s-a permis accesul in teren, de fapt in spatele portilor de unde fac de obicei fotografiile la meciurile de handbal. Am inteles ca s-a luat aceasta hotarare pentru a nu murdari parchetul salii de sport. Intotdeauna cand am intrat in zona suprafetei de joc(pe marginea terenului) am fost extrem de atent si sa nu introduc mizerii pe parchet. Este pana la urma chestie de bun simt. Mi s-a spus sa fotografiez din tribune daca vreau sa fotografiez, ceea ce este exclus pentru mine. Si nu pentru ca as fi incapatanat ci pentru ca in ultimii ani mi-am format un anumit standard in ceea ce priveste calitatea fotografiei, iar din tribune n-as putea sa fac poze bune nici intr-o suta de ani. Vorbesc si de standardele mele personale si de cele ale agentiei Mediafax Foto, standarde care corespund cu cele ale celor mai mari agentii de fotografie de presa, sau cel putin spre asta se tinde. Nu am absolut nicio obligatie, nici fata de agentia Mediafax, nici fata de clubul Stiinta Bacau. Ceea ce am facut in ultimii ani prin faptul ca am asigurat, atat cat am putut, partea de imagine a ceea ce inseamna evenimente sportive desfasurate in sala de sport din Bacau, am facut-o, credeti-ma, voluntar, in sensul ca valoarea beneficiilor financiare pe care le-am avut de la evenimentele de aici este ZERO. Am facut-o si-o fac din dragoste pentru sport si sportivi. Respect pentru sport am avut si o sa am toata viata. Mai ales ca pe diploma scrie ca as fi specialist in educatie fizica si sport. Iar cele 5 medalii pe care le-am luat in timpul activitatii sportive, le-am luat tot pentru clubul Stiinta Bacau. Imi pare rau ca se intampla astfel. E ca si cum mi s-ar face mie o favoare ca sunt lasat sa fac poze la meciuri, si nu eu lor, ca asigur imagine pentru sportul din Bacau la probabil cea mai buna agentie de presa din Romania si care constituie, cel mai bun mijloc de informare si promovare la nivel, nu numai national ci si international. Asta este mentalitatea, din pacate. Cam asa se pune accent pe promovarea prin miloacele mass media a sportului. Suntem cu un secol in urma celor spre care, cica, tindem. Imi pare rau pentru sportivi. Ei nu au nicio vina. Am incercat sa fac tot ce-am putut pentru ei. Si absolut gratis. Mi-am sacrificat nenumarate sambete, duminici cand as fi putut sa fac cu totul altceva, pentru a veni la meciuri sa fac fotografii. Am cheltuit resurse de toate felurile pentru asta. Si pentru ce? Pentru ca cei de la sala sa-si bata joc de mine. Este decizia lor si nu pot face altceva decat sa o respect. Nu am intentia de a creea vreo polemica pe tema asta, pur si simplu mi-am spus punctul personal de vedere. Tin pumnii in continuare echipelor bacauane care isi desfasoara meciurile la Sala Sporturilor. Iar celor cu "deciziile", sunt convins ca, mai devreme sau mai tarziu, o sa realizati ca gresiti.

P.S. In engleza nu mai traduc, odata pentru ca m-as chinui destul de mult(engleza nefiind neaparat unul din punctele mele forte), si inca odata pentru ca e, poate, mai bine ca vorbitorii de alte limbi care ajung pe-aici sa nu inteleaga ce spun.

The technical borders in photojournalism

En: A very interesting discussion from the POYi judging "backstage". The technique used by Andy Spyra, in the photo that has been awarded 3rd place in the General Division and Newspaper Story, Feature category roused some controversy among the judging members first, and then among photojournalists and picture editors. Read what Scott Strazzante, member of POYi judging crew, wrote about this on his blog. Also see the Andy Spyra's point of view. What do you think about this? What is your opinion?

Btw, I recommend you all watching live the POYi judging process, here. It's an amazing experience.

Ro: O discutie interesanta din culisele jurizarii POYi. Tehnica folosita de Andy Spyra in fotografia care a fost premiata cu locul 3 la categoria Feature din cadrul General Division si Newspaper Story, a dat nastere la discutii contradictorii printre membrii juriului POYi la inceput, iar apoi printre multi fotojurnalisti si editori. Cititi ce scrie Scott Strazzante, unul dintre membri juriului, despre asta pe blogul lui. De asemenea vedeti si punctul de vedere al autorului controversatei fotografii, Andy Spyra. Ce credeti voi despre asta? Care e opinia voastra?

Recomand tuturor sa asiste live la jurizarea POYi, aici. E o experienta extraordinara.
