Memoirs.

Just today I got word from Germany that I have been accepted for the student exchange at the Pforzheim University. I’m going there in february, and will be counting the months (later the days) until I leave.

Just now I came across a project raising awareness of the XDR-TB (Extremely Drug Resistant Tubercolosis). I think people should have a look at James Nachtwey’s TED project. Just follow this link.

Kot ste mnogi najbrž zasledili po takih in drugačnih novicah, se je pred nekaj dnevi v Pakistanu pri poskusu prvenstvenega vzpona na Muztagh Tower (7284m) ponesrečil Pavle Kozjek. Odličen alpinist, dober oče in mož ter pravi navdih za marsikaterega mladega alpinista. Sam sem redno prebiral njegove zapise na blogu in pri vsakem njegovem podvigu so se mi iskrile oči. Zato tudi težko verjamem, da takih zapisov z njegove strani ne bo več. Z največjim spoštovanjem sem gledal na tega človeka, čeprav ga osebno nisem poznal. Iskreno sožalje izrekam Nadi in Ani Karin ter najbližjim.

Pavle počivaj v miru.

Today I was making room on my mac for a few hours of DV video, so I decidet to relocate most of my photos to my new super big external drive. And in the meantime I found a few pics that I will publish here in a few consecutive days.

This is the first one:

Oi!

As some of you may know I’m currently at a research camp on Golte in Slovenia. I’m a mentor and I teach young folks a little bit about photography, a little bit about video and editing and some general journalistic things. Yesterday night I took a few of them out to pose for me, as I played arround with an off-camera flash and a headlamp. Boy were they obedient :p Here are the results:

Finally … just recently I finished a couple of posters for Euro<26. Yes, they are pink. Yes they have cows and palms on them. Also an astronaut. Is that good looking?  found out some people find it very nice and other quite disturbing. It’s kind of a love or hate things. You be the judge.

Yes. I’m back from my vacation with my girlfriend and a friend of ours. We were on the island Pašman in a camp and loved the doing nothing for the whole time spent there. Of course I had my camera with me and couldn’t resist taking a few photos whenever I collected enough energy and will pover to get off my ass. If you know what I mean. So enough said, here are the photos.

… WORK! I’m worked up, totally. I’m a royal pain in the ass right now. I have my regular job to do. And there is still a matter of some other stuff that needs attending. All until the end of the week. And then on sunday I leave this civilized world for two weeks. Two weeks without my phone or internet. Just my girl, my camera, my Mac, the sea and the sun! I need that. I need it badly!

It has started. The iPhone frenzy. People have already started to wait in line in front of the Apple store on 5th Avenue in NY. I found this on endgadget. What’s so special about that? The iPhone comes out on the July 11th. But no fuss, obviusly (:

Regarding my iPhone purchase - I’m out of luck. For now … But this is not over. Far from over! HAHA (:
