Roman Sušnik is a pilot and innovator. He is one of the pioneers of engines and vehicles on electricity! His APIS EA1 is one of the first sailplanes in the world. Magazine Reader’s Digest published interview about his work and hired me to take photos of him. We had a great photo session and I was really suprised about his sailplane. It works like my camera…on batteries! A little bit bigger of course…
Bigger version of my favourite photo. Unfortunately unpublished.
Reader’s Digest Slovenia published a summer cover with my picture. It is an old one from France. They also published interview with me about my photography. Here is a bigger version but unfortunately it is only in slovenian language.

Umetnost je glas osebe z avtizmom. ( Art is the voice of a person with autism. )
Between 23rd and 25th September 2009 Center for Autism Culture is organizing its 1st Festival of autism. The latter is devoted to the theme “Autistics Culture - myth or fact?” Individuals with autism spectrum disorders have difficulties in social communication, social interaction and flexibility of thinking and living. This is why they are usually misunderstood and pushed to live on the social margin. At the same time, these individuals may be talented in many artistic fields. Art can become their voice, communication with the world and a source of pleasure and survival. Source: www.imeldaogilvy.si
Bojan Požar is probably one of the most unpopular Slovenians. “Enfant terrible”! He owns his own yellow online newspaper and is an athour of many scandals in Slovenia. So I came to this shooting with quite many prejudices! But I have to admit that I lost them after we finished the shoot. He is just an ordinary guy doing his job and he really enjoys it! Well he does hurt many people’s feelings I guess….but in fact there are many who want to be in the middle of media attention and send him all kind of information…His phone was ringing all the time!
Translation for a sign in a second picture is: ” Don’t walk across railway line. It is deadly dangerous!
BTW his family name Požar means FIRE in slovenian language!
Anže Palka is all-around musician and composer who is successfully combining teaching, composing and performing music of different genres. He has completed studies with Professor Andrej Grafenauer at the Conservatory of Music in Ljubljana and has received numerous awards. Anže really impressed me with his amazing talent and music! I can’t stop listening to his great song Zeleno. He is also a director and organizer of the Slovenian Flamenco Festival, SIFF.

Anja Šlibar is a student of Academy of Fine arts and Design. Anja asked me to take pictures of her concept. She had to make a book and the theme for all students was “an alphabet”. She decided to create wooden letters! It was a pleasure to help her and I would like to present few pictures here.
Here are few more pictures from Hong Kong. This is not a series but a collection of single pictures which present HK in a very colourful way. I have been to many places from Sydney to New York but I have to admit that there is something different in Hong Kong. It has a great atmosphere with lively and exciting places. This travel has definetly changed my perception about Asians and Asia. I wasn’t sure if I want to show these pictures at first. Becuase they are very direct compering to a previous post where there is something more. I find myself in doubts very often about what really matters to me regarding personal photography. It is very easy to make single and beautiful shots but to express something more with a series…well that is a challenge.
Hong Kong is one of the most dynamic economies in the world. It is all about making money. Everybody is in a hurry all the time. I visited HK in the beginning of May for few days when returning from a business trip in China. My friend from Shanghai told me that competition in HK is incredibly high. Because of all day working there is no time for families and partners. But this series is more than that. On first two pictures you can see very good what people from HK look like. They are very individual and closed. Many couples get to know each other via agencies and organised dates. Futhermore I continue with two very funny pictures with a huge contrast. I really love to find more stories in one particular picture. For example on third one you have a couple in a romantic mood, but on the left there is that lost lady searching for something… No worries I am not going to explane more although it is hard not to mention the fifth picture. Is she trying to escape? I especially enjoy the thing with races going on. Her expression is awesome. Ok ok enough….find your own story…and share me your thoughts. Thank you!
