Traveling

2 min read
As always I enter here when I have time, time for the soul and now more than anything I need that. As this journal is entitled "traveling", in the last few years I have been traveling a lot and now I don't mind the distances anymore, in my spare time I like to travel to any place of interest, only me and my camera the dynamic duo, feeding the void or black hole that is the human needs and passions( at least that is how I see me ). I have a passion for change, though I rarely confess because I like to be comfy and cozy in a chair which wobbles, but within the movements of the chair I wish to also wobble in a new place from time to time :D.

My current place of wobbling is in Sofia Bulgaria, it is pretty much the city of Iasi from Romania but it adds a little more drama because of the old apartments, the communist Russian statues and the cathedral in the center of the city.In 3 months I only been able to visit the near by mountain named Vitosha which a few days ago was on fire, only a portion, because of the heat and the inappropriate behavior of tourists.

Sofia is a crowded city full of noise, and of course it is polluted by the intense traffic, from mountain Vitosha which I will add photos of, you can clearly see the smog and the heat, although on the time that I've been there, it had snow and I really don't know how I managed to have sunburns from a mountain trip, never happened to me before so I was really surprised.

Anyway beside the pollution, beside the people that it is hard to communicate with, because they speak poor English, Sofia is a great place to visit. :headbang:

Hi everybody, long time no journal.I've had my holiday and now I'm coming around ,after a few shots from my sweet partner Tequila :D I dozed of or something and found myself in Sibiu(Hermanstadt) :omg:.I've been here a week and i really love the town, nice people everywhere giving you directions, someone almost poked my eye, good thing i wear glasses. Anyway I am almost unpacked, still got some things to tide up in my apartment, and I'm up to dirty things again like photos and shit. I hope you all had a happy Easter, eating red eggs and drinking and enjoying the fact that Jesus is alive and kicking.

I am very lazy these days and sentimental, maybe because of the hot tropical weather we're having :D.I prefer thinking of a faraway tropical island - trapped there with my sweetheart :love:
I want to recharge my batteries and submit some deviations as soon as I start to sort them, also thinking of submitting some of my ideas to my arcade group which is still growing :strong:
I want to thank all my watchers for being so supportive and all the deviants that :+fav: my pics.
And also i want your help again :blush: and want you to donate for my group :groups: to be a super one :superman: :D.
So please support me on my quest of promoting old arcade games and art.I will work on submitting some well made walkthroughs.

For anyone who never entered in this group please visit it here :iconarcade-club:

Sunt cat se poate de dezamagit de ce face comunitatea romana de pe deviant.
La toti ne place sa vedem ceva cool, o idee iesita din comun, incerci sa o expui ,sa o arati lumii si patesti asa:

Majoritatea grupurilor romanesti iti dau decline si grupurile celelalte care au si mai multi vizitatori si mai multa popularitate iti accepta deviatia si iti spun ca e reusita.
La noi grupurile sunt micute,si sunt vizitate mai mult, well...de noi, de romani si ma gandesc ca daca ce pun eu aici pe dA in grupurile romanesti sunt privite like crap(deci nu le pasa nici macar de noi romanii), probabil suntem multi dintre noi care patesc asa, si poate aveti poze reusite.

Pana la urma cred ca imi intelegeti frustrarea.

Poza despre care vorbesc este aceasta :
:thumb168688151:
si foarte fain numai 2 grupuri au refuzat-o din 7 si anume: :iconrowatch: si :iconromanianartistss:. Aceste 2 grupulete au un set de admini care se cred dumnezei si binenteles ca poza mea i-a intimidat, i-au facut sa tremure si au refuzat-o automat, si ma gandesc de ce? Si am vorbit cu unul dintre acesti admini cu gandire limitata, care in viata lor nu au auzit de globalizare ,diversitate ,cultura si idei noi. Am sa public aici o conversatie de pe un note:


gabytzu1984 said the following:

Hai sa vedem o chestie despre compozitie domnule artist, ca prea mult stii sa dai lectii si dupa cat am insistat ca nu procedati cum trebuie la alesul pozelor , tot voi sunteti cocky :D
Poza mea ma are pe mine in mijloc, dar cadrul de pe fata mea e in spate, deci nu conteaza, si daca esti atent subiectul principal -> mana respecta compozitia si incadrarea, doar ea a fost focalizata, cromatica a fost aleasa ca sa arate stilul dramatic al pozei, sa fie expresiva, doar vorbim despre un zeu, ok enaugh of my work-> uite aici will-brown.deviantart.com/art/… poza asta are un cadru pe mijloc-> exact pe mijloc, dar continutul si ideea e asa de interesanta ca nu mai conteaza ca e pe mijloc.Inainte sa crezi in regula treimii din fotografie ar trebui sa iti dai seama ca nu orice poza este facuta sa o respecte, pentru ca unele idei pot fi intelese doar incalcand aceasta regula-> si dezbaterea asta e demult pusa in discutie, daca ai intreba un artist adevarat(eu nu sunt binenteles-nu am terminat arte,si nici macar nu ma consider prea special) ti-ar spune sa think outside of the boundries,outside the box.Presupun ca ai 22 de ani,nu? Tie ti se pare corect ca unele fotografii care chiar au ceva de spus sunt tratate ca niste gunoaie din cauza unor oameni care nu stiu sa gandeasca inafara cutiei?
Imi pare rau sa spun asta dar ma asteptam la mai mult de la grupul vostru, si nu numai al vostru, ca parca e mana in mana cu rowatch-ul, am primit decline de la ei de mai multe ori, si ei nici macar nu mi-au raspuns.In aceste 2 cluburi de cand sunt facute mi-au umplut contul de deviatii inutile prin care doar 10 din 100 contau(dar nu asta e problema) problema este ca poate s-a facut si la altii aceeasi chestie ca la mine.Eu nu dau submit la poze intr-una si cand dau am un motiv intemeiat-> poza e buna, vorbesc cu prieteni,colegi,etc si ma asigur ca nu ridic orice crap si ridic rar, si cand primesc decline e ca si cum unii nu le pasa deloc de munca depusa acolo.Nu mai insist fiindca imi dau seama ca nu are rost.


:star:SI RASPUNSUL::star:

Re: sal
from *deyurus22
to =gabytzu1984

Ce nu ai inteles cand am zis Pa?...oftica-te cat vrei dar eu nu citesc rahatu asta ... scriee acolo si oftica-te catttt vreiii TU..dar nu-mi pierde mie timpu,poza e de toata jena -... daca te face sa te simti mai bine eu nici nu am votat la ea ci restu dar tu oftica-te ca mie imi place...n-am treaba cu fotografia dar pot sa-ti dau un sfat.... daca apesi pe bution si aparatu focuseaza pe mana ,nu e fotografie e un :shit:...Nu mai scrie nimic ca oricum nu-ti mai raspund! Adio!

Asadar ce sa inteleg? asta e rezolvarea lui, ma scoate din grup si ma blocheaza, se simte amenintat de prezenta mea pe dA :rofl:.
Cred ca o sa public asta si in engleza pe undeva cand o sa am timp ca sa se vada cat de prosti sunt unii.

Boring the audience!


After a well made preparation for my professional status I will be back with new forces in the dA game, with plenty of deviation and with a new group :P which you will find it in the "Arcade Masters" link or here. I want all of you to think back of the first consoles you had and on those games that now are running free because they were abandoned :D.

- What? Where?!

- Well! Here:

:bulletblue: Abandonia

:bulletblue: Abandonia reloaded

:bulletblue: Z80 games :D

:bulletblue: Nintendo here we come


You will have the best of laughs and flashes of memories from when you was a child in front of your tv, or your old pc.
If this past moments inspire you then you could do art, relate stories about those fictional characters in the games and bring the deviations to the club and to the dA comunity :D.

Hope you like the idea!  

That's all folks!


Features!
