I live in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. I took my first photo back in 1979. Then I forgot about it for the next twenty years. Today I make my living reading and writing. Sometimes I am a freelance photographer. Sometimes a journalist, a storyteller. You can see some of my work in Tear Sheet. If in the mood, throw me a line at voicu@aquaforte.com

You can find out more about what I do (workshops, classes, prints for sale, conferences, books) on www.diafragma9.ro

Photography is to me a happy encounter in space and time. I take photographs because I was given the privilege to see the world. And because I love what I see. Even when things look bad.

Photography is actually an extension of my seeing. It starts and ends with the exclamation: Look!

Photography is a significant slice of a flow called life. A sign of a passing presence. A station. Contemplation.

Photography is not everything, but only something. Otherwise, it's pure joy. Like a game. It's fun.
