Last Friday I visited Sokolski dom to participate in a photo exhibition called Flower Power by an author Borut Peterlin. He is a proffessional photographer known mainly by his photojournalistic and portrait work. Personaly I really admire him for his creative portraits where there is often a lot of humor and creativity in them.

This exhibition is somehow about portraits as well. Portraits of flower arrangements. You can learn more about his work on his blog, where you can find his explanation how and when he took those Flower Power photos. I also really recommend you to visit the exhibition at Sokolski dom. It will stand until 7th of March and it is a great example of how you always have to look for something more or different no matter what you photograph or do.

Every month poker players take place at Ostriga to discover who has the brain of the Titan. Tense moments, bad beats, excitement, mind games, deceptions, odds, knowledge that often overcomes luck and on and on... There are simply so many things going on in this one of if not the most popular card game in the world. Great opportunity to capture some of those moments in camera. You can find some more information on their KŠŠ Pokr Liga facebook page.

A week or so ago me and my friends organised a photoshoot at MungoPark Cerkno. It is a snow park at Cerkno ski resort that we at the Extreme Sports Club Mungo are responsible for. Unfortunately the weather was not as nice as we could wish for but I still could make some nice shots out of it.

Pred približno štirimi leti, natančneje 29. decembra, se je, na veliko žalost mnogih, ponesrečil odličen prijatelj, kajakaški pajdaš in nasploh športni navdušenec. In tako se na ta dan od takrat naprej vsako leto zberemo tisti, s katerimi je Matic največkrat preživljal svoje spuste po divjih vodah ter se v njegov spomin spustimo po domači reki Sori. Ne glede na vremenske pogoje pa čeprav je jasno, da temperature v tem času redko prilezejo kaj više od kakšne stopinje nad ničlo. Tokrat sem pri spustu sodeloval le kot voznik. Na predstavi o kateri sem pisal nazadnje, sem se namreč poškodoval in si prerezal mišico na podlahti in tako še nisem povsem nared za takšne podvige. Sem pa imel končno priložnost stisniti kakšno fotko. Ponavadi za to ni časa, ker se enostavno težko odločim, da ne bi sedel v čolnu in veslal. Tokrat pač ni šlo drugače.

Če se je kdo spraševal, zakaj se novi prispevki na blogu ne pojavljajo več tako pogosto, mu lahko odgovorim. Razlog tiči v močno (pre)natrpanem urniku.

Že v enem izmed prejšnjih zapisov sem pisal, kako drago mi je gledališče in da tudi letos na odrske deske postavljamo novo predstavo z naslovom Ljubezen druge polovice. Moj ritem zadnje dni oziroma zadnjih nekaj tednov res ni podoben kakšnemu brezksrbnemu poležavanju na nekaj tisoč kilometrov oddaljeni plaži, z možgani na off in... saj veste. Vsakodnevnemu zgodnjemu vstajanju sledijo najrazličnejše obveznosti, nato največkrat celodneven obisk faksa in zečer namesto buljenja v TV ekran ali kartanja s prijatelji sledijo še gledališke vaje, ki se pogostokrat zavlečejo pozno v večer (noč). In naslednji dan vse znova. Vendar je lepo in mi vsekakor ni žal. Na vajah se imamo večino časa luštno in tako res ne vidim razloga, da bi kdorkoli tale zapis vzel kot moje samopomilovanje! :)

Since the year of 2011/2012 at the college has began I've decided to show you some of my work that has been shot for or parallel to my last year's portfolio project. The concept of it was to tell Wilson's story in only a few photos. You can see those at my portfolio site under the album WILSON'S STORY.  I won't  reveal what I wanted to tell with it because I would really like to know what do YOU think it represents. Please write your thoughts in a comment box bellow. I'll appreciate it.

Že kot otrok sem bil vedno zelo vesel, ko so me starši peljali na ogled kakšne gledališke ali lutkovne predstave. Bil sem celo tako navdušen, da sem se nekje v 3. razredu osnovne šole priključil otroški gledališki sekciji v Retečah, ki je delovala pod imenom Dudl teater pod mentorstvom Boruta Gartnerja (nekateri ga poznate kot zadnjega režiserja škofjeloškega pasijona). Pripravili smo dve predstavi (Kralj palčkov in Martin Napuhek), v katerih sem odigral vidni vlogi in se pri tem nadvse zabaval.

On Saturday the 17th of September I went to Ostriga - one of if not the best place to hang out. Only that this time I wasn't just chillaxin' around with a beer in my hand. It was better, I had a camera in the other one!

The reason why I took the camera with me was the band named Moveknowledgement. It is a five man band from Slovenia that plays a unique fusion of hiphop, dub, rock, and electro. (I stole that sentence from their website). The frontman of the group also performs as an individual artist under the name N'Toko, National Freestyle Champion of Slovenia in 2002 and 2003 and also one of my favourite lyric composers.

On the second of September a concert of Magnifico and Josipa Lisac took place at Škofja Loka's castle in honor of 15th anniversary of MKC Pri Rdeči Ostrigi.

It was the first time that I photographed a concert or anything else where a photo acreditation was needed. Getting one was easy since an organizer was a friend of mine. I must say I really enjoyed every moment of it. Photographers area in front of the stage was quite big so that me and my photo colleagues could move easily not to be in each others face. The light was something a couldn't complain about since I'm used to bad lighting altough I know it was far from perfect.

Na dan, ko so osnovnošolci in srednješolci znova zasedli šolske klopi, je svoja vrata odprl tudi MKC Pri Rdeči Ostrigi. Ker se tja vedno znova rad vračam, seveda dogodka nisem hotel zamuditi. Še posebno, ker se je letošnja sezona pričela z otvoritvijo fotografske razstave kolega Tomaža Bradeška. Gre za serijo fotografij, ki so nastajale v času 30 sekundnih ekspozicij in bodo Ostrigo krasile še cel mesec. Vredno ogleda!
