WHY PHOTOGRAPHY
Sometimes the visions and shapes fighting against oblivion are just fascinating… and photography is a form of memory;
Each tiny grain of oblivion will turn into another grain of sand, falling down my hourglass… Then, with every grain of memory found, I could refill the hourglass again …
Sometimes, I get the feeling the lapse is irreversible and grand like the memory itself … Still, I’ll keep searching …
Often, the routine of remembering turns out to be almost involuntary … but essential if I want to forget oblivion …
Most of the time, I end up benumbing myself with vestiges of what I used to feel …
The lapse tends to be irreversible indeed … but with each rediscovered grain of retrospection I can create new substance for my hourglass …
… in a new perspective giving birth to a new and somehow different memory…
AROUND & ABOUT
This site is nothing more than my personal visual diary, my booklet of life notes, helping me to resuscitate bits and bytes of past events.
I was born ‘79 in Cluj, Romania, I’ve lived in many places and traveled the world in search of my memories… but yet not enough … this is why I’m still searching … sometimes I find them … sometimes I don’t … but new ones come along and I take photos every now and then to help me remember … anyhow, I tend to believe that I’ll get back home one day … with or without my memories … my everyday life & work has unfortunately not so much in common with photography and I hardly find time to shoot … This is probably the reason why I forget so much and have to keep searching …
