Rumeno

(or Yellow) 

V soboto sva šli z Majo na majhen potep po Tivoliju z namenom, da ji pomagam pri spoznavanju njenega novega dslr-ja, da se meniva še o vseh ostalih fotografsko-snemalnih projektih, ki naju družijo. Bil je oblačen dan in rumeno obarvani listi ter preostale rumene cvetlice so res klicale po tem, da jih opazim :). Tako je nastala foto zgodba o rumenem nekega oblačnega sobotnega popoldneva v ljubljanskem Tivoliju.

Eng: Maja and I went on a short walk in park Tivoli with agenda me explaining few features of her new dslr to her and to gather some ideas we have on our new upcoming projects together. It was a cloudy day so everything yellow just "called" me to notice it.:) And so there is a short photo story about yellow in some Saturday's afternoon in park Tivoli in Ljubljana.

Želim vam lep dela prost dan in miren praznik.

Eng: I wish you all beautiful holidays.

Družinsko fotografiranje: Družina Pupis

(or Family Photography: Family Pupis) 

Pred nekaj tedni (kako čas beži) sem se ustavila v Logatcu na klepetu pri Metki. Vreme je bilo super, sonce je ravno zašlo, Mija se je zbudila in naredili smo kratko družinsko fotografiranje. Uživala sem, ko smo se sprehajali po vrtu in res je lepo videti, ko se otrok nasmeje, ko ga pogledaš izza fotoaparata. Spodaj pa nekaj fotografij, ki upam, bodo zapolnile še nekaj strani njihovega družinskega albuma. Vsekakor je bila to izjemno prijetna izkušnja in se veselim naslednjega družinskega fotografiranja. Kids seem to adore me! :) In obratno tudi, seveda! :)

Eng: I visited Metka few weeks ago in Logatec to make some family photos. The weather was amazing, sun just set and Mija woke up minutes prior to "perfect" light. I enjoyed walking in the garden and making funny faces and playing hide and seek in front of my camera :). I am posting few photos that will - hopefully - make yet another beautiful memory in their family album. I am looking forward to another family photo session! Kids seem to love me! ;) And vice versa. :)

Prav res je neverjetno ujeti tak moment med otrokom in staršem. Si verjetno sploh ne znam predstavljati, koliko bo to nekoč pomenilo Miji! :)

Eng: It it simply amazing to catch this kind of moment between a parent and a child. I can't possibly imagine what will this photo mean to Mija years later. :)

Tako vesela sem, da sem ujela ta moment! :)

Eng: So GLAD I caught this moment! :)

Na hitro sem "izkoristila" še trenutek in naredila nekaj njunih portretov! Lovely!

Eng: I took the opportunity and make some of their portraits as well! LOVELY! :)

Rada sem družinska fotografinja. Metko in Leva sem spoznala leta 2010, ko sem fotografirala njuno poroko - mojo prvo! :) In od takrat naprej smo v kontaktu. Vse, kar lahko storim je to, da se vama zahvalim za zaupanje - takrat in danes. Hvala.

Imejte lep vikend!

Eng: I enjoy being a family photographer. I first met Metka and Lev in 2010, when I was photographing their wedding - MY FIRST!! And since then we are in touch. There is nothing else I can say then thank you for your trust - back then and now! :)

Have a nice weekend!

Testiranje testa

(or Testing the Dough) 

Pred nekaj dnevi sem se odločila, da poizkusim narediti "the testo" za pico, kar v mojem jeziku pomeni - hrustljavo na zunaj in nežno, lahko, puhasto in mehko znotraj :). Zdi se, da se je serija poizkusov začela zelo obetavno, saj mi je že prvič uspelo narediti testo, ki je bilo slastno. Tu je treba vedeti, da jaz vedno uporabljam pirino moko in zelo pogosto delam testo in kruh brez kvasa. In v toliko so taka testiranja, preden v goste povabim svoje prijatelje, nujna! :) Tokrat sem se gostila samo jaz - pica je bila prekleto okusna in do naslednjega fotošutinga bom zagotovo izpopolnila recept v toliko, da ga bom lahko delila z vami! :) Ja, res vedno velja: Practice, practice, practice! In kot vedno tudi tokrat dodajam: Enjoy while you're doing it! ;)

Eng: I decided to try to make The Dough for my pizza few days ago, which translates into a dough being crusty on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. :) It seems that a series of tests started quite all right - because I actually made a dough that was really good. Well, I am trying to make a delicious dough using only spelt flour and without using yeast, so practicing is really important, before I invite some one over to test it. This time it was only me eating it and I need a few more rounds to make it even better. And when I do, I'll be sure to let you know how I made it. And still the best advice is: practice, practice, practice! Me adding: And enjoy while you're doing it! ;)

Imejte čudovit dan!

Eng: Have a delicious day! :)

2. rojstni dan

(or 2nd Birthday! :))  

Natanko danes pred dvema letoma sem objavila prvo fotografijo na tem blogu! Jeej! Od takrat pa sem imela že več kot 60.000 ogledov, ogromno lepih komentarjev, pohval, spodbud in podpore. Največja zahvala gre vsem vam, ki me spremljate in mi stojite ob strani tako ali drugače! Hvala vsem! Želim vam ČUDOVIT dan!

Eng: My blog is celebrating today! It's 2nd Birthday! Wii! And It has been exactly one year since I've started writing English "subtitles"! :) I am most thankful to all you for your support, comments and your smiles! Thank you so much! I wish you a gorgeous day!

P.s.: Fotografijo je posnel Andrej Korenč! Hvala tudi tebi! ;)

Eng: This is a photo by Andrej Korenč! A special thanks to you to! ;)

Joga, prvi vtisi.

(or Yoga, first impressions.) 

Prejšnji teden sem šla prvič na jogo and I fell in love! :) V resnici si nikoli nisem mislila, da mi bo tak način vadbe ustrezal, saj sem bila navajena na vadbo, ki je zahtevala veliko premikanja, hitenja. In že sedaj (seveda sem še čisto na začetku in komaj vem, kako se stvari streže, ampak prvi vtisi so res super) lahko rečem, da je to nekaj, kar me bo spremljajo v vsakdanjem življenju (za začetek vsaj 2x na teden). Sproščenost po vadbi je res nekaj, za kar je vredno delati položaje in poslušati navodila pri izvajanju. Lahkotnost glave in telesa pa je tisto, za kar si prizadevam vsak dan in joga je sedaj postala/ postaja del načina, kako to doseči. Kot vedno pa je pri tovrstih zadevah pomembno, kdo je učitelj/ učiteljica, ki ga/ jo imaš. In po sreči je moja učiteljica postala moj "bivša" nevesta Irena, ki se z jogo ukvarja že dolgo časa. To, da je sama čudovita oseba doda še en plus k mozaiku ostalih plusov, ki jih že ima kot oseba in  učiteljica: natančnost, zavzetost in dobra volja.
Ko sem svoje delo kot poročna fotografinja opravila :), sem se z veseljem odzvala povabilu Irene na njene ure joge. Prosila sem jo tudi, če lahko strne nekaj misli o jogi in napisala je takole: "Joga je združitev duha in telesa. Ko to dvoje zaživi skupaj, lahko rečemo, da zares živimo. Živeti svoje življenje ne pomeni le biti unikaten, ampak to unikatnost tudi sprejeti z vsemi plusi in minusi. Iyengar joga je meditacija v gibanju. Koncentracija v položajih pride spontano, hkrati pa naredimo vadbo za telo (vprašajte vadbenike, je zelo zabavno, a ni enostavno :) ) in um (sprostitev je zagotovljena)."

Eng: I went to yoga fo the first time last week and I fell in loooove! :) I have never thought that this kind of exercise would fit - I had no  idea what was I thinking, beacuse it involves exercising body and mind and surely is a perceft combination! :) I think I'll stick to it.
I have mer my teacher Irena more tha half a year ago when we met to beacuse of photographing their wedding. And now when I accomplished my work I was more than happy ro respond to Irena's invitation to her yoga classes. I asked her if she could give ma a though or two about yoga, this are her words: "Yoga is a merger of mind and body. When this comes together, we can say that we are really living. Living your life doesn't only mean being unique, but this uniqueness also has to be taken with all advantages and disadvantages. Iyengar Yoga is meditation in motion. Concentration in positions arises spontaneously and it is an exercise for the body (ask the students: it is great fun, but it isn't easy:)) and mind (relaxation is guaranteed). "

Fotografije so bile posnete avgusta, ko smo se dobili za zaročno fotografiranje. Takrat še nisem vedela, kako zelo dobro bo imeti te fotografije :). Želim vam čudovit četrtek! :)

Eng: The photogaphs were taken in avgust when we got together for enggament photo session. I didn't knowback then how good it will be to have this particular photos :). I wish you a gorgeous Thursday! :)

Trebušček

(or A belly) 

Imela sem lep vikend, dobro sem jedla, veliko sem spala, brala, fotografirala, študirala in bila na zraku. I doesn't get better that that! :) Prihajajo tisti meseci, ko se (zaradi svoje zmrzljive narave) bolj zadržujem med štirimi stenami in študiram, se učim novih stvari, pišem in berem. Ta jesen in zima bosta zagotovo prinesli mnogo novih spoznanj in dogodivščin! Se že veselim :). Nekaj novega pa se je zame zgodilo tudi konec septembra, ko sem prvič fotografirala nosečnico. Pravzaprav sem odšla k Metki na kavico in pogovor. Ko pa se je zbudila Mija (nogice spodaj :)), smo na hitro (res na hitro) naredili še kratek družinsko-nosečniški fotosešn.
S temi fotografijami sem tako spet dodala (vsakič, ko se vidimo namreč naredim nekaj posnetkov - in to resnično z največjim veseljem :)) nekaj novih spominov v družinski foto album. Več fotografij pa kmalu. Tako ali tako sem vam dolžna že kar nekaj fotosešnov! ;)

Eng: I had a really calm and nice weekend - I made some great lunches, I slept a lot, read, wrote, studied and was outside (literally catching the last sun shines) on a photo session. I just doesn't get better than that! :) Those months are coming now, when I'll be more or less inside reading and learning - and am really looking forward to everything new that awaits for me. Just like it did few weeks ago, when I had a chance for the first time to take some photographs of a pregnant woman, my friend Metka. I went there to talk and have a cup of tea and when Mija woke up (little feet below :)), we made one fast (a really fast :)) family photo session.
I am really glad to be making a "book" of their visual memories with all my photographs. I take some photos whenever we meet and I do it with all my pleasure :) every time. Keeping track of something so beautiful as love between two persons (with a wedding and then with family photos) is just priceless. More photos are coming! :)

Želim vam lep torek!

Eng: I wish you all a gorgeous Tuesday!

Prosena kaša

(or Millet Porridge) 

Za dober začetek dneva je včasih potrebno poskrbeti že kakšen dan prej. En izmed načinov, kako osrečiti sebe ali svojega dragega ob zgodnji jutranji uri, je vsekakor dober, zdrav in zelo okusen zajtrk. Ponavadi za to poskrbim z doma narejenim kruhom (spečenim večer prej), tokrat pa sem se odločila za proseno kašo. Nanjo me je spomnil recept na Ireninem blogu. Vsekakor ga sedaj ne bom pozabila in bo redno na mojem jutranjem jedilniku.

Recept sem nekoliko preoblikovala, saj ponavadi kuham za dve osebi. Uporabila sem sledeče sestavine:

- 150g prosene kaše (namočene v vodi z limono čez noč)
- 5 suhih marelic, sliv in datljev (ravno tako namočenih v vodi z limono čez noč)
- vrček (verjetno je to okoli 2,5 dcl) mandljevega mleka
- nekaj vode, v kateri se je namakalo suho sadje
- ščepec vanilijevega sladkorja
- precej cimeta
* priporočam uporabo ekološko pridelanih živil

Suho sadje in proseno kašo sem čez noč namočila v vodi z limono. Žita je vedno dobro namakati, saj s tem poskrbimo, da se kuhajo hitreje. Če pa jih namakamo v kisli vodi, pa s tem poskrbimo, da se z njih odstranijo tudi morebitni "strupi", ki se v njih nahajajo. In brez skrbi, nekaj žlic limoninega soka ne spremeni okusa.

Postopek: Zavrela sem mandljevo mleko, dodala oprano proseno kašo in jo kuhala približno 20 min na zmernem ognju. Na koncu sem dodala še na koščke narezano suho sadje in cimet. In zajtrk je bil pripravljen.

Res vse bolj uživam v kuhi. V tem, kako lahko pripravim res okusne jedi, jih potem postavim, pofotograiram in pojem. Prepričana sem, da bo fotografiranje hrane postalo opravilo, ki sem mu bom posvečala vse več in več. :)

Želim vam prekrasen dan in dober tek! :)

p.s.: Fotografijo desno spodaj je naredil Matej Lunder.

Eng: Sometimes in order to have a wonderful beginning of a day, you have to take care of it in advanse. One of »how to« is to prepare a good, healthy, delicious breakfast at an early hour. Usually I do this with bread baked the evening before, but this time I made millet porridge. The post on Irena's blog. I surely will keep this receipt in my mind from now on.

I transformed the receipt a bit, since I normally cook for two persons. I used the following ingredients:

- 150g of millet porridge
- 5 dried apricots, plums and dates
- 2,5 dcl of almond milk
- some water from dried fruits
- a bit of vanilla sugar
- a lot cinnamon :)
* I recommend ecological ingredients

I soaked the millet and fruit in water with lemon juice in it over night. And cooked millet in almond milk for about 20 minuter. I added later chopped fruits and cinnamon. Took some photos and enjoyed my morning treat. :)

I have stared to enjoy cooking so much! I think you'll be seeing in the future some nice receipts on this blog! :)

I wish you all a wonderful day!

p.s.: The left photo above was made by Matej Lunder.

Jesensko sonce

(or Autumn Sun) 

Prejšnjo sredo sem se z Mašo in Mino dobila v Tivoliju na družinskem (natančneje sestrskem) fotografiranju. Naredile smo si čudovito popoldne. Ko je sonce posijalo skozi krošnje, so se barve prelivale iz rjave v jantarjevo z zlatim odtenkom :)  - kot nekakšen topel objem narave. Zabavna družba pa je ravno tako dodala svoj košček k temu, da je bilo popoldne tako
finofinofino! :)

Že v sredo sem z namenom, da ne pozabim na toploto jesenskega sonca, posnela ti dve fotografiji, ki mi sedaj služita kot spomin na tople jesenski dni. Upam, da kmalu spet! :)

Eng: I met with Maša and Mina for family (or more accurately "sister") photo session in Tivoli the previous Wednesday. We made ourselves a wonderful afternoon. Firstly, the colors were amazing, the warmth of the Sun made the temperature just perfect. And above all, when the company is so much fun to be around, there is every reason that everything turns out so fine, fine, fine :)

Knowing of the weather forecast for this week I intentionally took these two photos to remind myself of how nice the previous weeks were and having them as a memory will make it easier to wait for another sunny afternoon like this to come. :)

Želim vam lep začetek tedna!

Eng: I wish you all a gorgeous start of the week!

Keep calm and snap on

(ali Ostani mirna in fotografiraj naprej) 

"Pravo" različico tega napisa "Stay calm and carry on" sem prvič videla v Londonu prejšnje leto, kjer sem bila tudi poučena o zgodovini tega plakata. Visela je v jedilnice hiše, kjer sem "živela", ko sem bila tam na obisku. Pred nekaj tedni pa sem našla tole različico - and how cute is that? ;) - v vijolični barvi (moja barva! ;)). Upam, da najdem kdaj tak plakat. Ga takoj kupim in uokvirim! :)
Do takrat pa bo izmenično gostoval kot ozadje na mojem ekranu. Vsekakor dobro geslo, ko se odpravljam na pomembne fotosešne. :)

Eng: I saw the first and the "real" version of this poster, when I was in London the previous year. There is where I also learned about the history and the meaning of this posters. And I few weeks ago I found this version. It is so hauntingly cute. The color (purple! :)), the small camera and above all a good advice I keep in mind all the time. ;)

Vsem želim čudovit in sončen četrtek!

Eng: I wish you all a gorgeous Thursday!

2011/ 2012

Fotografijo sem posnela v kavarni Filozofske fakultete nekaj mesecev nazaj, kjer sem se pridružila sestri in njeni kolegici na jutranji kavi in rogljičku med predavanji. Fotografiji nisem posvečala posebne pozornosti do včerajšnjega dne, ko se je tudi zame začelo (zadnje) "študentsko" leto. Kot absolventko me čaka še nekaj izpitnih obveznosti in končna diploma. In z začetkom študijskega leta sem tudi jaz sedla nazaj za svojo mizo, na kateri me vsako jutro čakajo knjige, raznobarvni flomastri, izpiski, litri zelenega čaja in (I do try) resnično samo dobra volja :), da se prebijem še čez zadnje obveznosti. Ker vprašanje "Kaj bom počela kasneje" že ima svoj jasen odgovor. Če bo sreča, seveda :).

Eng: I took this photo some months ago at cafeteria of Faculty of arts, where I joined my sister and her colleague on a coffee break between classes. I didn't notice the photo until yesterday when suddenly this moment stuck with me. It is my last year of college and I have only few exams left. And since yesterday (the beginning of 2011 /2012 school year) my mornings and early afternoon hours are reserved for studying. My table is now a surface filled with books, colorful markers and empty/ half full/ full cups of green tea and (I do try) with a lot of good will to get pass these last exams. Because after "this" I already now what I really want to do. Hope my aspirations do come true ;).

Vsem "študirajočim" pa želim uspešno leto! :)

Eng: I wish a great year to all of you who are too searching for knowledge :).

Čokoladni muffini

(or Chocolate Muffins) 

Pred nekaj tedni sva z Matejem pekla muffine za njegove sodelavce. Peči sva jih začel ob 11ih zvečer in jih pekla dobri dve uri. Naredila sva jih okoli 40. Muffini so bili narejeni po "Matejevem" receptu. Ko jih bom naslednjič pekla zase, bom zamenjala nekaj sestavin in videla, če bodo ravno tako okusni :). Že dolgo se nisem tako zabavala, ko sem fotografirala nekaj tako ljubkega. In muffini pač so ena mojih najljubši sladic (takoj za jabolčno pito in jabolčnim štrudljem, ob čemer verjetno ni težko ugotoviti, da je jabolko moje najljubše sadje :)).

Sestavine za te muffine so (pekač za 12 muffinov):

- 100g bele moke
- 200g polnozrnate pirine moke
- 2,5 dcl mleka
- pecilni prašek
- vanili sladkor
- 50g rjavega sladkorja
- 85g stopljenega masla
- 2 jajci
- 150g Nutelle (tri velike žlice)
- mrvice

V veliki posodi najprej zmešate sladkor, maslo in jajca. Temu kasneje dodate 300g presejane moke in vse ostale sestavine. Dobro zmešate in masa je pripravljena. V pekač za muffine položite papirnate "podstavke" za muffine in jih napolnite z maso. Pečico prej ogrejete na 180C in jih pečete približno 23 minut. Voilà! :)

Eng: Few weeks ago Matej and I made around 40 muffins for his coworkers. We started baking them around 11 pm for nearly two hours. We made around 40 muffins. And I borrowed three of them for the one.day.after ;) muffin photo session. I+ll try soon and bake some more with my choice of ingredients to see if they'll be just as tasteful. Well, muffins are one of my favourite deserts (right after an apple pie and an apple strudel :))

Ingredients for these muffins were:

- 100g of white flour
- 200 g of whole grain spelt flour
- 2,5 dcl of milk
- baking powder
- vanilla sugar
- 50g of brown sugar
- 85g of melted butter
- 2 egs
- 150g of Nutella
- chocolate chips

First you mix together the sugar, eggs, melted butter. Than you add flour and all other ingredients and the dough is ready. At the end you put the dough in the muffin baking tray in the preheated oven (180C) and bake them for 23 minutes. Voilà!

Želim vam čudovit vikend!

Eng: I wish you all a wonderful weekend!
