'm just looking for work. And the patient has been taking pictures at the moment for that time a lot of money. But the city Cernovicz - At that time people called it, will come as the Russians, and that is occupied, because the time was this pact - where there are five of them together and have divided the eastern territories. Then I thought: "Yes, I'll just leave town and I'll look for some place like the Carpathians." Well, we have had resorts and so on. And the next resort was just Dorna Watra - that was called. Dorna, the river and Watra is called the bed - the river bed. This is Romanian. And so have the - because the farmer which is visual, so he has just spoken. The place has got it. And then I went and talked to one of the local photographer and said, "Would you do it? I bring the camera with the you can do on the street street photography." For there are the guests - a tall, elegant park, which was very, very big and has played military music, to have nine clock morning noon and evening 4:00 to 8:00 in the afternoon or nine clock. After that had to be quiet. And the people are there - especially the youth, and so on - are naturally attracted in swarms. Always on the one side of the road. This was convenient for me, as I could - I thought to myself: "Man, that one can photograph in any way." Because I was a photographer in my heart always, even today, yes. I have plenty of variety - including those related devices such as the Lord has them. And that was my passion. I have naturally looked to take advantage somehow. And now - the now - now that's important. There - you have the course - was the capital of Bucharest and of us was about 450 miles away. And the place was a spa resort. And of course the royal family has experienced it. So we have made so that the - was because the new young king had been, now today, I think, still - he still lives in Spain or wherever. And since they've taken him to the place where I was there. The Dorna Watra had been - this is what I have said, the city of Dorna, in a valley - translated. And he has had his aides who had been his aide, who accompanies him everywhere. And here it is - you can see .. you tell me yes. And there we have the photographer, where I actually - it even had to get things picked up somewhere, and I have him so involved. .. He has given me the opportunity that I just could not use his facilities. And now we have as our chosen certain people who have accompanied us there, this is Dorna been the mayor and so on, that you really the king, the young receive. He has just made the Matura. And he allegedly said to have made quite good, but he was allowed to take a trip on the River. But he was in Bucharest. And since he's just come out there to Dorna. And how he came to Dorna and its first pictures wanted - which we then made, and he saw it, as it was this photographer - .. where I worked, the court photographer appointed from Bucharest's royal family. And that was a great honor for him because that was also linked with money, yes. That it was given. Yes. Court photographer, he was called, yes, that's right.
