Photography Imperial and forlorn like King Michael saying goodbye to Communist Romania

So imperial and forlorn, like the best poem of a minor poet, © Cristian -Kit- Paul, Bucharest, 2009.

I found the title in a Leonard Cohen's novel from 1966. Here is the paragraph—you'll see why it stuck.

The telephones kept their steady black, the one stable shape in the shifting gloom. They hung there like carved masks, black, gleaming, smooth as the toes of kissed stone R.C. saints. We were sucking each other's fingers, slightly frightened now, like children pulling at lollipops during the car chase. And then one of the telephones rang! It rang just once. I am always startled when a pay phone rings.

Life Ciclissimo

My friend George Pop, Brandient alumni, and my Brandient partner Cristi Petre started a new venture: Ciclissimo, the best place in Bucharest for buying (and maintaining)—mainly, but not only—premium folding bikes: the British design icon Brompton and the likes, seven days a week.

After buying no less than six bicycles from Ciclissimo (delivery and unpacking four of them being featured in Brandient Bike Day movie) I am in a position to both admire their enthusiasm and recommend them wholeheartedly.

Pay them a visit (right near Aviatorilor Square) and try some bikes on the dedicated lanes in front of the store—or follow Ciclissimo on Facebook.
