The best photographers, like masseurs, have an inimitable, signature touch that leaves a mark on your skin, a small impression altering the skin-scape. The Romanian photographers who follow take photos hot enough to burn the image in my mind; I return to them in line at the grocery store, while stuck in traffic, searching for a new roll of toilet tissue, or trying to sleep at night. I wish them all the best-- fame, if that is their deadly desire, and enough money to continue developing their art.
