Oh, Paris!

May 20, 2020

I have visited Paris twice already. Once in 2014 and the second time on my birthday last year, 2019. I can’t get over Paris, I think there is so much to visit and to see. Walking around the beautiful streets, seeing the people all fashionable, it charges me with a lot of good energy, enrich me with the vibe and makes me feel like I am in a movie.

It wasn’t planned as it was a surprise for my birthday from my dearest friend Andrei. And it was magical, we walk around Champs-Élysées, visit Louvre Museum, which first time it didn’t impress me that much. But this time it was different, this time seems bigger, more beautiful in its architectural style. I also see Notre Dame Cathedral, after the fire in April the same year. I will have to say I was lucky I have seen it last time, it was so sad to see this beautiful monument considered one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture, in this stage. I will always see Notre Dame as Victor Hugo described it in his novel, The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

This time I was more fascinated by the people, that why you will see a lot of portraits in my photos which I hope you will enjoy. I love how each one of us is so different, act different in our own unique way. Everyone has a story behind and I love to look at the pictures and imagine what they are thinking in that precious moment that I captured. It is so fascinating!

Love,

Carmen

Mommy's little girls

When I see my nieces, I see myself and their mother, my sister when we were their age. I remember how much fun we used to have together, the naughty stuff we were doing. We never got bored. I can say that I am lucky to have her as my sister and my best friend in the same time.

Not asking for it
June 10, 2020

The past few days I am reading a lot about unjustified actions of all of us. Black man killed by the policeman in the USA, and a guy in Romania who instigated men to rape young girls. What is the matter with this world?! Why all the hate?! We are the same, no matter the gender, the color, the ethnicity… we are humans and we have to be kind.

Tenerife, Spain - Beach Time in February
May 29, 2020

I always imagined myself on a beach in the middle of winter, with a mojito with a fancy straw and a colored little umbrella, getting a tan while enjoying the sun and the waves as I really don’t like cold or snow. Never thought I will do that someday.

Seville, Spain
May 13, 2020

I have celebrated my 30th birthday in the beautiful city of Seville, Spain. The City of Flamenco, with its architectural influence blend of Moorish/Arabian and Gothic is absolutely amazing and is bursting with antique charm. I was stunned by the Alcazar Palace with its collage of arhictectural styles, that for a moment I had the feeling I was in Morocco, which I haven’t visited but is on my list.

Geierlay, Suspension Bridge
April 1, 2020

Last year in November, we went to visit our friend Carmensita to celebrate her younger daughter Sophie. On our way there, we stopped to a bridge that my sister wanted for a long time to see it . She imagined how the session ‘Trash the dress’ would look there and that what we’ve done.
