About Ephemera Photos
I started this project in July 2006 bearing in mind the short lifetime of the usual manmade products, artefacts, art objects, monuments, etc. Why should my photos have a different future?
Some may argue that there are still some old traces humanity has left behind which we may want to include in our "wish list" for a holiday. I can only agree with them: not everything is dying, but - in case nature could have a slower alteration process - mankind is destroying or corrupting what others created.
How many times did you say: "I missed
it!" or "was it really so?" Or you were just passing by blindful,
no matter the reason. You know - missing a nice sunset, your partner's birthday,
your colleague cheating...
I'm not perfect and I do miss plenty of things, but I would like to fight against
this and to keep my mind alert.
One way of doing this is photography and another one is this site.
Therefore, I will periodically update this site by:
- adding new photos with a reasonable large size;
- changing the existing large photos to a smaller size.

About the author
In case you were wondering, I'm not a professional photographer. I'm an engineer, but I take photography seriously.
My dad bought me my first camera in 1980. It was a Zenit E and it helped me very much in understanding the technical side of photography. I'm still working on the creative side...
One of the most important things I've learned looking at other photographers'
works is that the person behind the release button is more important than the
equipment used. I've seen superb photos taken with pinhole cameras and it's
a well-known fact that neither Ansel Adams nor Henri Cartier-Bresson used today's
top technology!
I consider our mind and our feelings more important than a device and there
is no substitute for them.
For the most curious of you:
My name is Adrian Iancu, I'm Romanian, born and living in Bucharest. I shoot
on film (usualy Fuji) and than I scan it.
I like mountaineering, Hitchcock films, a good wine and being with my family
- not necesarily in this order. And the list can go on.

Because I have a day job, I cannot promise you I'll answer in the same day.
However, if I'm not in holiday, I'll try to answer next week at the latest.
