Violeta and her close friend Iulia at a Really Bad Thai Restaurant in Bucharest. We had just eaten some of the worst food I have ever had in my life.

My brother Lex has been working on his portfolio site and has just added a masterful header image that had me clutching my sides with laughter. I just love the way he has masterfully photoshopped the iStockPhoto logo over the top to make it look like a stock image – It’s a nice parody on… Read more »
