It did not work for me. I see Einstein.
I can only see Marilyn in the thumbnail version, though:

No cat, no nail
I woke up this morning having a litle scratch on the tip of my nose: I aint got no cat, no sharp nails, no girl with sharp nails, no devices having scratch-enabled mode on hidden in my pillow, and… I'm no sleepwalker.

I noticed I have an inner aggressiveness directed at two certain individuals from my close circle of people, and I can't seem to be able to get rid of it. Although I am calm and peaceful and rarely ever violent or aggressive, it seems that even the mere sound of their voices drives me nuts. I am not sure if they've noticed my hostility towards them, but for whatever reason they act nice and show interest in my persona. And this is 1 more reason in + to make me bite my fist! This is not normal! You don't act nice when somebody is hostile to you, the least you could do is ignore!
...and I can't control it. Hate it when there's one thing about me I can't control. I like to think about myself that I am a good, carrying and positive person, that I have high spiritual values, but slowly I start to believe that trying to stay positive and good in an environment totally gone the opposite way would finally assimilate the one opposing it. Is all gettin' me...

Perle din liceu
Am facut liceul in Uzina II in Brasov. Dl. Vasile Macovei, cel mai stimat si apreciat profesor din scoala, avea un stil aparte, prin care te facea fie sa il super simpatizezi, fie sa nu. Nu cred ca ar fi existat alta alternativa. In clasa a 12-a a fost promovat ca director.
Faceam fizica cu dansul. La una dintre ore, se uita la un coleg ce purta cercel. Se uita atent, oarecum insistent, incearca sa spuna ceva, ezita… apoi intr-un final i se adreseaza:
- Comane, cercelu’ ala al tau spune multe…
- Ce spune, dom’ profesor?
- …creier mic.
- Cum de stiti asta, dom’ profesor?
Si oarecum ne asteptam sa ii dea un raspuns serios, sau sa deschida o dezbatere. Dar in schimb, zambind in barba, abia stapanindu-se sa nu pufneasca in ras, ii raspunde linistit:
- Pai am purtat si io vreo doi ani…
____________
Alta, si mai tare decat cea anterioara! De data asta protagonistii din “perla” sunt moldovenii. Intr-o atmosfera fff relaxata si funny, profu’ ne facea o descriere detaliata despre cat de lenesi sunt ei, despre cat de alcolisti si inceti la minte sunt + pacostea Romaniei, etc etc. Acestui discurs i-a urmat desigur intrebarea fireasca:
- Cum de stiti asta, dom’ profesor?
Si raspunsul – care efectiv ne-a dat pe spate pe toti – nu a intarziat sa apara:
- …pai sunt din Vaslui!!
Imagineaza-ti rasete pe urma 
. Ani de liceu, vai!! Ce mi-i dor!

...a photographer's dream_Red tulip
Capturing the beauties of spring.
One of the benefits of having a pro account on Flickr is that you get to see where people are coming from to your photo stream. That’s how I’ve learned that they have “stolen” my picture! http://travelicio.us/f/Prague/4631564618/...a+photographer's+dream_Red+tulip/

The magic of Prague
It was a rainy day, cold and gray. It did not feel like spring. However, since I never tested my camera in a light of this kind, I decided to go out and just take a picture. The picture is taken in a place called Namesti Miru in Prague, Czech Republic. It is always a nice place to see, despite the bad weather.
This is a picture of 20,3 mega pixels. Huge. Very huge! For this reason the details are so small, people, benches, so small. In real size it is 1,20 x 2,10 meters, in prints of 72 dpi.

…a story in the sunset
Part of the “I FEEL” series, this picture was taken while visiting my parents in July 2009, right after a storm on the Italian beaches. I tried to capture a story, and it was yesterday to have seen it…

Quiz
Today I won a little reward for being the first one to answer a sort of quiz @work. In exchange, I came up with one of my own:
In a typical Wild West saloon, somewhere in the 1800s, in one late night three cowboys were playing poker at one of the tables. The setting was specific to those times, an oil lamp lit in the corner, other cowboys at the bar making jokes and drinking whisky, old wild-west typical three-legged wooden tables and chairs, the sheriff and his deputy at another table nearby.
Suddenly, a breeze of wind extinguishes the lamp that was lit in the corner and the whole saloon goes dark. A gunshot is heard and when the barman lights up the lamp again one of the three cowboys that were playing poker was lying on the ground, shot. The sheriff who was seated nearby comes to investigate. He asks one of the dead cowboy’s friends:
- What were you doing when your friend was shot?
- (without hesitation) …the table was moving so I put a match box under one of the legs to prevent it from shaking.
Sheriff seems happy with this answer so he goes to ask the second cowboy:
- And what about you, what were you doing when your friend was shot?
- (very much hesitant, avoiding to look the sheriff in the eye) …I was… I was trying to pull an ace out of my sleeve, to win this hand.
After he thinks everything over, the sheriff rises up in front of them and says: “One of the two of you is a liar”. After several seconds, he points his finger to one of the two cowboys and says: “You’ve killed him”.
Question for you is: How did the sheriff find out who’s the killer and trying to hide his crime with a lie?
Whoever gives the first answer correctly gets a reward. The same that I got, actually :D. You can pick it up from my desk

Joke of today
Man speaks to God:
- Dear Lord, why have you created the woman to be so beautiful?

- Dear Lord, why have you made her so dumb?
- So she could love you!

NIKON Camera Bag II for sale
Hi folks. I have a brand new Nikon Camera Bag II for sale. Brand new, never been used. The reason I am putting it up for sale is that it is too small for my gear. And I personally am still searching for something larger fit enough to carry my stuff. The price is CZK1,200 (slightly negotiable), and the only way to deliver it is in person.
I won’t mail it since I don’t speak Czech and the ladies from the Ceska Posta don’t speak English. To avoid all that I decided I will sell it only here in Prague. Please see a picture of what it looks like below. Click the picture to see the full size.
If interested, contact me and let’s discuss details.

The world is going to an end [at least I dream so]
It is not very common to have a dream in one random night and to continue it in the very following one. I personally can’t recall when this last happened to me… until lately.
Two nights ago I had the weirdest dream of all. I dreamt I was somewhere in the US, I felt it as Miami, and I was so much amazed of the city. White beaches, summer all the way, palm trees everywhere. Suddenly the weather changed, it turned rainy, windy and it was about dawn. As I was wandering off streets at some point people started screaming and running towards the opposite direction I was heading to… I turn my eyes and what do I see? There was the biggest tsunami ever, coming to smash everything in its way. Everybody was screaming and running in panic, and I… I just stood there.
I almost forgot about this dream… until last night. As I doze off to sleep, I dreamt I was in a post-big-catastrophe. The city around me was ruined following a global cataclysm, there were cars smashed everywhere, there was chaos all around. People were crying on the streets and the next I see was a supermarket, partially destroyed. I was inside, under a security camera. I was looting for food, and not minding at all that cam that was on me.
I woke up feeling very uncomfortable. I thought to myself, to give myself some peace of mind that there is no sea where I live now (that’s Prague in the Czech Republic). There is no sea. And I definitely don’t plan to move to the US.

Weirdoes-freaks
As I was in the tram going to work, in the morning, I’ve seen a transvestite. A real obvious one. I don’t personally have anything against queers or gays or any other dysfunctional minorities, I just found it… interesting. Why so? He was like 50-60 years old, very bad and pronounced make-up, ultra-red fake nails, bald and partially blonde, big-framed pink (!!!) glasses and had his hands full of kitsch-jewelries. A lame attempt to de-masculine himself.
That was in the morning.
In the evening, on the way back, same tram. This time who do I see? Another “lost brother”, this one would wear a black long cloak (just like the guy who played the Crow if you remember), and black glasses that covered half of his face. I must say that I finished work at 20h20, and outside is getting dark starting around ~19h00, yet the guy was wearing sun glasses, and black (anti UV from the fluorescent tubes in the tram – I take my lucky guess). This one was around 12-14 years old max I’d say.
The funny thing is that they both seemed quite normal, enjoying what they were doing, without too much troubling them. Not quite a sight one sees everyday

My Nikon D700 arrived!
This post is not intended to be useful in any way, there is nothing interesting in it, really, except for some people that are close to me.
My Nikon D700 is finally here!!!! Finally!!! Now I am only waiting for a 70-300mm glass to arrive (slow eBay!), and... I'll go shooting!!! Can’t wait!!
They’ve charged me customs a hell lot, if I compare to what I would have paid if I were to buy it from HKG or Japan for instance. But hey! I am sure it is worth every extra penny (koruna, actually :D) that went into the pockets of some guys that work for the Customs Office. Never mind that now, though :D
