The Godfather himself
This morning, I went with a reporter to photograph Francis Ford Coppola during an interview. "No pictures while I speak, please!" he said. So I waited till the end of the interview. He gave me 2 minutes. Which meant 18 frames. This is my favourite.

All the President's men. And women. And children.
This past week-end, Traian Basescu, the Romanian president, came to downtown Bucharest to deliver a speech. A few hours earlier, Emil Constantinescu, a former president, tried to gather a small crowd across the street to protest against the presidential speech. I tried to approach the event in a Christopher Morris kind of way.

Most TV stations used a lot of logistics in covering the speech, since the president planned his public appearance for prime time hours.![](http://bp0.blogger.com/_HfI9g1b2Ap8/RwC8A1v_gxI/AAAAAAAAAvw/cLSnZ_SWgko/s0-d/base_09.jpg)
