So.. I’m Aurel Manea and this is my kingdom.
Professionally I am a 3d artist/technical artist and lead 3d artist in Gameloft Romania & Eastern Europe.
More about that in my professional LinkedIn profile:

As a hobby as you can see I spend most my time photographing stuff here and there. I started photography somewhere in 2004 to somehow impress I girl that I liked and evolved the last years a lot also to impress the girl that I love for 7 years already. But that story is spread throughout the blog so no need to unfold it here.
Why “DYSTALGIA” ?
Well I came out with the term while being high one day. It’s not in any dictionary but basically what it means (what I feel it means) is a for of nostalgia that towards a past or present that never was but with the right choices and circumstances could have been. I am a strong believer in parallel universes theories and even if I don’t quite understand the math behind it a big fan of quantum mechanics and the philosophical and existential implications of it. That’s why the background image of the site is a photo of particle traces in a bubble chamber after a particle collision in an accelerator. Call me the Schrodinger’s cat that is dead and ponders upon the possibility of her being alive.
a funny fact: After I came out with the name I searched the web for it and the only place that was used was this little blog that deals (dealt, because it’s been dead for 5 years) with.. mostly quantum stuff.
You can take a look and like (if liked) my facebook fan site.

As for the personal facebook page, I removed it from here, I am not to keen of adding as friends people I don’t know or have nothing in common with.

Salut,
Foarte foarte faine fotografiile. Sunt innebunit aici… ce lumina si ce detaliu peste tot. Nemaipomenit!
Voiam sa te felicit si sa te rog daca poti sa arunci o privire peste fotigrafiile mele si daca ai timp sa imparti cateva sfaturi legate de tehnica/echipament.
Pozele mele sunt la : http://photographywithjoy.wordpress.com/
Felicitari inca o data si ms mult
De ce nu v-oti pune voi artistii un mail sau un telefon de contact, nu stiu. Mai ales voi astia care lucrati si bine. Salut! Spune-mi te rog, intr-un mail, daca ai mai multe imagini de la pestera Devetaki din Bulgaria, ti-am gasit o imagine pe un site englezesc si doua la tine pe facebook, si de aici ideea; si bineinteles daca vrei sa facem un articol despre pestera, cu imaginile tale, pe care sa-l publicam pe Traveloman.ro. Credit, link-uri catre tine, conform cu cele care se gasesc deja ca standard pe Traveloman. Si cine stie poate vrei sa devii Traveloman.
Poti sterge comentariul si sa trecem pe mail, daca te tenteaza ideea, caci aici nu ai buton de subscribe la comentarii. Multam. Mihai
