"He had wild hair and wore jeans. He was #American and #Jewish. He had a #camera.

That was enough to trigger #surveillance by the notorious #secretpolice of #communist #Romania, the #Securitate.

Now, 41 years after #photojournalist #EdwardSerotta boldly stepped behind the #IronCurtain, we can see just how obsessed the #Romanians were with him, thanks to a short #documentary by renowned #Romanian #director #RaduJude and #historian #AdrianCioflâncă.

“Plan contraplan/Shot Reverse Shot,” which had its world premiere at the #Berlinale international #film festival last month, gives equal time to #Serotta’s reminiscences about Romania in the 1980s, and to the Securitate’s observations of him."

Oh wow another #cyclist and I rode through there minutes before this happened! We were headed south on 95th from Isabelle Rd and when we got to Arapahoe there were a ton of emergency vehicles headed that way. We both chatted about how it must have been something major. (If you were the guy riding the #Emonda, I was the guy riding with you on the red #Serotta).

Nice 30+ mile ride on the #Serotta today. I was going to ride the #JakeTheSnake, but plans and route changed.

Tried to keep it fairly flat because of the knee injection yesterday, but still managed over 1k ft of climb 😂. Felt good though.

Another nice ride on the #Serotta today.

I find the #Strava "athlete intelligence" to be pretty lame. I've never really read it much before, but after looking at it in detail, it's just not helpful. Other aspects of Strava are useful, just not that.

Great ride on the #Serotta this morning! The weather was about perfect and I felt good. And the freshly cleaned and lubed drivetrain was smooth.

Nice ride on the #Serotta today again using the #Jepster app, which I really like. I need to clean the drivetrain tonight as it's getting pretty gunked up.

Also getting that N+1 bike itch again 😂

Ooh I've got a possibility on a cool old #Serotta in northern VA! Hoping to have a look at it next week when I'm there for work. This could be a fun bike for the east coast work base!
