Tocmai ce vazusem “Joe Limonada”, film la care am reusit sa intru cu ajutorul legitimatiei de cineast imprumuata de la tata. Urmatorul pe lista, Superman, anuntat in programul de saptamana urmatoare. Afisul era senzational, am trecut cateva zile la rand prin fata cinematografului Tomis doar ca sa il vad. Parca imi aduc aminte, pe strada dintre biserica si tribunal, mai mergeam un pic si eram acolo. Visam cu ochii deschisi, imaginatia mea de copil o lua razna vazand numai afisul.

I found these pictures in my father archive. I suppose that the images are made in 1952 or 53. This is an 23rd o of august military parade (the national day in the Romanian communist era). The pictures are shoot in Saint Gheorghe Square (this is between Unirii and Universitate Square).
Azi am ajuns prin cladirea Generali de la Buzesti – Polizu cu ceva treaba. Daca tot am trecut pe acolo si daca tot am urcat pana la etajul treisprezece, am decis ca merita sa fac o fotografie. Cei ce inca nu au vazut Bucurestiul din unghiul acesta, sunt invitati sa priveasca.
I just found these images on the net. All the images are of what’s identified as “bomb fall plot” photos.
