How can we be a real child of God? For a start believe in Him, love Him and act accordingly…
15 He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly,
who despises gain from fraud and from oppression,
who shakes his hand free from the taking of bribes,
who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed
and shuts his eyes to avoid looking upon evil.
16 [Such a man] will dwell on the heights;
his place of defense will be the fortresses of rocks;
his bread will be given him;
water for him will be sure.
Previously I showed you the photos I took for Daniel and Luminita at their civil marriage and also the their engagement in Iasi Romania. Today I would like to share with you the photos I took at the rest of the wedding: church and dinner.
There are so many more photos. Bellow is a sideshow for you to enjoy. If you want to see them all go to the set I created on Zoomr.

Dumnezeu a umplut lumea de frumusete si mister, de cascade si de apusuri de soare, de ghetari si de locuri tropicale. Dar Dumnezeu a spus: ‘nu te iubesc doar atat‘. Dumnezeu ti-a dat o minte si capacitatea de a deosebi binele de rau, de a alege binele si viata. Dar Dumnezeu a spus: ‘nu te iubesc doar atat‘. Dumnezeu ti-a dat oameni, invatatori, prieteni, eroi, persoane cu care sa cunosti bucuria intimitatii si a comunitatii. Dar Dumnezeu a spus : ‘nu te iubesc doar atat.’ Apoi Dumnezeu L-a dat pe Isus. El reprezinta incercarea finala a lui Dumnezeu de a ne face sa intelegem cat de mult insemnam pentru El. Isus a ajuns la cruce pentru a plati o datorie pe care noi nu o puteam plati. Si Dumnezeu a spus: ‘acum, in sfarsit, poti intelege ce loc ocupi in inima Mea‘.
Here in Romania the people that get married have to have the civil wedding. You go to a special building that belongs to the town hall. There the mayor or the officer of civil marriage tell you about the rights of the man and wife and ask you if you will take care of the other in any conditions. After both say yes, you have to sign in 2 registers, and the the witnesses.
After the civil marriage you can also have a wedding in the church.
But there are also exceptions when you do not even go to have a civil marriage. Usually gypsies have those kind of weddings. But now they go to have the civil marriage because of the money the new weds receive from the government. It is only 200 euros, but they give them, they don’t take.
So, here are some of the photos I took at Daniel Florin and Luminita Teodor civil marriage in Iasi, Romania.

On 27th of may, we – me and Denisa – celebrated the officially 8 months together. For this occasion we went to Cetatuia, which is a hill with a men monastery on top. There is a very nice view of city of Iasi. We had a nice long walk and enjoyed the company of the other one. Here is a slide show with some of the photos we took on this occasion.
Previously I showed you the actual photos. Now here is a slide show with those photos
Daniel Florin and Luminita are two young people form the church I go to, here in Iasi. One day, as I was going to the youth meeting, in the bus station I meet Daniel and his mom. We chat a bit and in the end he asks me if I could be their wedding photographer. He said that he saw me photographing. In that evening I showed Daniel part of my photos. After that, Daniel and Luminita decided to choose me.
I took it as an opportunity to get to know them better and also to develop my skill. Before their wedding that will be next Saturday, I went to my sister’s (Anda) and my cousin’s (Andi) wedding as a secondary photographer.
Here are some of the photos I took, helped by Denisa’s indications, on their so called “engagement photo shooting”.
Here is a slide show I prepared for them with those photos.
Last night I did some photography lighting experiments. I used a fluorescent economic bulb, lighting from the right, from different heights. The bellow photos are just resized and I added my logo. Except that they do not have any kind of modification, they are straight from the camera. I would like to share with you what came out…
Please help me improve my lighting skills. But in the same time please be patient with me 🙂
On our 8 months together anniversary we went to Cetatuia. It is a big hill, where on top of it is a orthodox monastery. We had a good time and took some photos, one of the other. Enjoy what came out…
16 No king is saved by the great size and power of his army;
a mighty man is not delivered by [his] much strength.
17 A horse is devoid of value for victory;
neither does he deliver any by his great power.
18 Behold, the Lord’s eye is upon those who fear Him
[who revere and worship Him with awe],
who wait for Him and hope in His mercy and loving-kindness,
19 To deliver them from death
and keep them alive in famine.
20 Our inner selves wait [earnestly] for the Lord;
He is our Help and our Shield.
21 For in Him does our heart rejoice,
because we have trusted
(relied on and been confident)
in His holy name.
22 Let Your mercy and loving-kindness,
O Lord, be upon us,
in proportion to our waiting and hoping for You.
I have not been writing for some time because I’ve been very busy. I am in USA to my company headquarters for technical discussions and some training. There’s a lot to do so the free time is kind of none. Here are some photos, the very few I had the time to take.
