Presenečenje!

Prepričana sem, da boste delili navdušenje z menoj! ;) Končni popravki še potekajo in točnega datuma še ne morem napovedati, a naslednji teden naj bi bilo vse lepo "zapakirano"! Kot najlepše darilo! :) Resnično se veselim, da bom to delila z vami! Najprej bo objavljeno prav tukaj - na mojem blogu. :)

Eng: Next week I'll be posting something so beautiful, special, and important to me! I am pretty sure, you'll share the excitement with me!! :) Final revisions are still ongoing and can not wait share this "surprise" with you! I can't predict the exact date, but a "present" should arrive next week! As the most beautiful gift to myself and you! :) I'm so looking forward post this post! ;)

Želim vam krasen, krasen vikend!

Eng: I wish you all a great weekend!

Poletje + Polaroid

(or The Summer + Polaroid) 

Včeraj sem našla tole neobjavljeno objavo. Fotografije so nastale poleti, ko sem tudi sama prvič fotografirala s Polaroidom in nekatere posnetke ste lahko videli razstavljene tudi na policah Incognita na Gallusovem nabrežju. Tele pa je posnel šef Martin! :) Vse so bile posnete v stari Ljubljani in na pol poti na Grad. Spomnim se tistega jutra, ko sem se peljala na tale fotosešn. Bilo je prav prijetno hladno, okoli desetih dopoldne pa se je ogrelo in temperatura je bila krasna! Na moji levi pa je trenutno skodelica jutranjega čaja, da me ogreje v tem mrzlem novembrskem dopoldnevu. Vonj po ingverju, pomaranči in mangu - ta čaj je danes na sporedu. Kakšna sreča za vse te barve in vonje, ki mi jih ponujajo letni časi. Čeprav ne maram mraza ni nič lepšega kot se pozimi stisniti pod kovter in svoje premražene nožice pogreti ob tiste bolj tople na svoji desni ali levi strani! :)

Eng: Yesterday I found this unpublished post. Photos have been made this summer, when I first photographed with Polaroidom and some photos were also displayed on shelves at the Incognito on Gallusovo nabrežje. These were made by boss Martin! :) All were shot in an old Ljubjana and halfway to the castle. I remember that morning when I drove to this photo session. It was pleasantly cool and about ten in the morning the temperature was great, warm! Mmmm...
Right now there is the morning cup of tea on my right to warm me up in this cold November morning. The smell of ginger, oranges and mango - this is my flavor now. How lucky we are for all those colors and smells offered to us by seasons. Although I do not like cold weather there is nothing more beautiful than squeezing together under the blanket and pressing cold feet at the more heated pair on the right or left side! :)

Želim vam krasen dan!

Eng: I wish you all a wonderful, warm-hearted day! ;)

Družinska fotografija: družina Popović

(or Family Photography: Family Popović) 

Že kar nekaj tednov nazaj sem se dobila s tole prelepo družinico, da jim napravim (poleg zaročnega in poročnega fotografiranja) še tale spomin. In zagotovo bom obeležila še kakšnega! ;) Bil je lep jesenski dan, četudi že precej hladen. Odpeljali smo se na Vrhniko, kjer smo se hoteli fotografirati v grajskem parku Bistra, a je bilo sonce tam že skrito za bližnjih hribom. In ostalo nam je le to, da smo se usedli v avto in se odpeljali in iskali. Najprej smo zašli na pot, kjer so bili sami ograjeni pašniki in se morali vrniti. Drugi poizkus z naključno potjo pa je bil uspešen. Ustavili smo, razpakirali in se podili gor in dol po travniku. Komaj čakam, da z vami delim še preostanek fotosešna! Tale pa samo za okus! ;)

p.s.: Prav vesela sem, da lahko fotografiram vse te oblike ljubezni!!! (ja - potrebni so najmanj trije klicaji! :)) Krasno je - veselim se vsega, kar me še čaka! Iskrena HVALA, Urša in Niki, za zaupanje, vajino pripravljenost in čas, ki ga tako rada preživita pred mojim objektivom!

Eng: A few weeks ago I got together with this beautiful family to make them also (in addition to engagement and wedding photo sessions) this memory. And I'll be making them yet another one day! ;) It was a beautiful autumn day, though already quite cold. We drove to Vrhnika where we wanted to take pictures of the castle grounds Bistra, but the sun was there already hidden behind a hill nearby. So we sat in the car, drove off and searched for sunshine leftovers. The second experiment with a random road was a success. We stopped, unloaded and chased each other up and down the meadow. Can't wait to share with you the rest of the photo session! This one just for the taste! ;)

Želim vam krasen začetek tedna!

Eng: I wish you all a great start of this week!

Nikonov dan fotografije + FB after

(or Nikon's Day of Photography + FB after) 

Včeraj sem šla na Nikonov dan fotografije, kjer so v sklopu celotnega programa predavali tudi Samo Rovan, Matjaž Tančič in Andrej Korenč v tehnični predavalnici. Samo je eden najboljših poročnih fotografov z zelo izrazitim "Samo" stilom :). Vsekakor je bilo to predavanje, ki sem se ga res veselila in delček tega bi želela deliti tudi z vami. Samo je zaključil svoje predavanje z vprašanjem, kaj je pri poročni fotografiji najbolj pomembno in odgovoril z naslednjimi besedami. Najpomebnejša "oprema" je GLAVA. Saj je ona tista, ki 'čaka, je potpežljiva, predvideva in razmišlja'. In nadaljeval, pomembni dejavniki so še izobrazba, znanje, trdo delo, vizija, oprema, talent in nenazadnje STRAST. Vsekakor se z vsem naštetim strinjam in skušam razvijati vsak del v pravi meri :).

Bil je lep večer in imela sem možnost spoznati tako Samota Rovana kot tudi drugega izjemnega poročnega fotografa Miloša Horvata. Oba sta vrhunska fotografa v svetovnem merilu in štejem si v veliko čast, da sta (že) vedela, kdo sem :) - preko bloga, ki ga pišem in fotografij, ki jih objavljam tudi na FB. Pohvala od mojstrov je vedno dobra popotnica. Ko pa sem že pri FB-ju, prav moram nalepiti del pogovora, ki se je odvijal včeraj na mojem blogu - za svoj spomin! :)

Želim vam lep vikend.

Eng: Yesterday I went to Nikon's Photography Day and within the overall program I listened to lectures of Samo Rovan, Matjaz Tančič and Andrej Korenč in the technical classroom. Samo is one of the best wedding photographers with a very pronounced "Samo" style:). I was really looking forward to this lectur and a part of this one, I'd like to share with you. Samo concluded his lecture with the question, what is the most important thing in wedding photography, and answered with the following words. The most important "equipment" is the head. Because it is the one who "waits, is patients and thinks'. He continued with education, knowledge, hard work, vision, equipment, talent and finally PASSION. Indeed, I agree with all of the above and try to develop each one in the right measure:).

It was a beautiful evening and I had the opportunity to meet so Samo Rovan and other exceptional wedding photographer Miloš Horvat. Both are top photographers and I consider them to already know me as a great honor - through my writing on the blog and the photos that I post on FB :). Kind words from the masters are always a good prospect. Talikng about FB, I'm just pasting the part of the conversation that took place yesterday on my wall - for my memory! :)

Wish you all a wonderul weekend.

Med besedami

(or Between the words) 

Ta vikend sem, tako kot mnogi drugi, tudi jaz podlegla enemu izmed novembrskih virusov. Vsekakor vedno upoštevam takšno stanje in če se le da, prehlad preležim. K temu zraven spada pitje ogromnih količin čaja z medom in limono (dodanima seveda, ko je čaj že ohlajen na sobno temperaturo :)), za kosilo so obvezne domače juhice in med počivanjem branje kakšne knjige, ki sem jo do sedaj predolgo odlagala. Čeprav res veliko berem, se mi vseeno zdi, da že predolgo nisem prebrala česa za mojo dušico. Kakšnega poštenega romana! Prav veselim, da naredim še izpit ali dva in se potem posvetim kakšni res dobri ljubezenski zgodbi! Pa sem le priznala! Jaa, to bi bilo krasno. :)

Do takrat pa bom med študijskimi besedami. Ostanite zdravi! :)

Eng: This weekend I, like many others, succumbed to one of November's viruses. In any case, I always take notice of this situation and if possible, stay in bed, which means drinking lot of tea with honey and lemon (added, of course, after the tea has cooled to room temperature:)), eating homemade soup and reading one of the books I have been postponing to read for too long. Although I read a lot,  I haven't read anything for "my soul" in a while. Like a novel, a great novel! I look forward passing an exam or two and then dedicate my time to a great love story! There - I said it! Yeah, that would be just awesome. :)

Until then, I'll be between the "study" words. Stay healthy! :)

Pirina enolončnica

(or Spelt Stew) 

Pravijo, da je danes poseben dan. Vsekakor upam, da ga boste uživali. Da boste vdihnili nekaj svežega zraka, prisluhnili zvokom ulice ali bližnjega gozda, se dotaknili česa prijetnega (kot Amelie, ko potopi roko v semena na tržnici), čutili jesen na svojih licih. Ob vsem tem pa si vzeli čas, da si skuhate nekaj jesensko preprostega. In to bi čisto zares lahko bila pirina enolončnica. Ker je preprosto dobra. :)

In preprosta za kuho. Sestavine za obrok, ki nahrani dve osebi, so sledeče:

- 150g (oluščene) pire
- nekaj žlic olivnega olja
- 200g korenja
- zelenjavna kocka za v juho
- 50g čebule
- 6 dcl vode
- veliko peteršilja
*priporočam uporabo ekološko pridelane hrane

Piro najprej sperete pot tekočo vodo. Prepražite čebulo in dodate vodo ter kocko. Ko voda zavre, zmanjšate ogenj in dodate piro. Oluščena pira se kuha 30 min. Pokrijete lonec in jo kuhate 20 minut in nato dodate še korenje - dodate lahko seveda še kakšno drugo zelenjavo - recimo koromač ali brstični ohrovt. Čisto na koncu, ko je juha že v krožniku, dodate še sveže narezani peteršilj in žlico olja. To je to. Več kot okusno jesensko kosilo! :)

Eng: They say that today is a special day. I certainly hope that you will enjoy it. That you will breathe in some fresh air, listen to the sounds from the street or the nearby forest, touch something nice (like Amelie, when she puts her hand in the seeds in the market) and let the autumn touch your cheeks. And besides all this, taking the time to cook something simply "autumn - like". And this would surely be spelt stew. Because it is simply good and brown with a little bit of orange. :)

The ingredients for a meal that feeds two people are:

- 150g of spelt
- a few tablespoons of olive oil
- 200g of carrots
- vegetable soup cube
- 50g of onion
- 6 dcl of water
- a lot of parsley
* I recommend using organic food

First rinse liquid water over spelt. Fry the onions and add the water. When the water boils, reduce heat and add the spelt. Spelt is cooked for 30 min. Cover the pot and cook for 20 minutes, then add carrots - of course you can add some other vegetables - such as fennel or brussels sprouts. At the very end, when the soup is already in the dish, add fresh chopped parsley and a tablespoon of oil. That's it. More than a delicious autumn lunch! :)

Želim vam prav posebeno okusen vikend! :)

Eng: I wish you all a very delicious weekend! :)

Maja Križnik

Prav morala sem to objavo poimenovati z imenom in priimkom :). Pred tedni sva se namreč z Majo pogovarjali o fotografiji, o tem, kako ujeti pristnost in iskrenost v osebi v nekem tako kratkem trenutku. Skozi mesece učenja fotografiranja in skozi vsa ta leta učenja, kako biti "boljša jaz", kako vzeti in sprejeti slabo, kako rasti, se resnično slišati, biti iskrena s seboj, sem seveda našla svoj način, kako priti blizu svojim portretirancem. Nasmehi, ki jih fotografiram so lahko le iskreni, le takrat vem, da sem ujela tisti pravi trenutek, sproščenost, delček resnice te osebe same. Trenutek, v katerem ne paziš na pozo, "popolnost", na podobo, ki jo želiš pokazati, temveč preprosto si.
Ko sva dobili nekaj dni po tem pogovoru dobili na gradu, sem na hitro naredila nekaj njenih portretov, pokazala sem ji, kje se skriva moja najljubša svetloba, kako delam z njo. Vse je bilo nekako "organsko", iskreno, v momentu - enostavno prav. Pogovarjali sva se, jaz sem pazila na svetlobo, jo prosila za nekaj korakov to ali ono smer in posnela spodnje fotografije. In te so bile najjasnejši odgovor na to, kako jaz najdem iskren moment. Zdaj razume tudi ona. ;) Love ya* :)

Eng: I simply had to name this post with full name and surname. Weeks ago I talked with Maja about photography, how to capture the authenticity and sincerity in so short amount of time. Through months of shooting and learning and through all those years learning how to be a better "me", how to take and accept bad, how to grow, really listen to yourself, to be honest with myself, I of course found my way to get close to the subjects. I want my photographs to have sincerity in them and if I catch a true smile, I know that I caught that moment, a fraction of the truth of that person alone. Moment in which they don't think about posing or being "perfect", but simply are.
When we get together a few days after this conversation and went to the castle, I quickly made ​​some of hers portraits, I showed her where my favorite light is, how to work with it. Everything about that shooting was "organic", sincere, in the moment - just right. We talked, I watched the light, it asked her to move for a few steps to this or that direction and took the photos below. And these were the clearest answer to her about how can I shoot candid and honest moment. And now she knows! :) Love ya *:)

Želim vam prekrasen dan!

Eng: Wish you all a wonderful day!

Ulixes - Trois Saudades

Danes je pred vami obljubljeni videospot skupine Ulixes, pri katerem sva sodelovali Maja in jaz. Jaz sem posnela kadre in Maja je poskrbela za njihovo montažo. Maja je opravila resnično neverjetno delo in prav vesela sem, da sedaj sodelujem z njo na še enem projektu. Sama se sicer ne odpravljam v "snemalne" vode :) (fotografija je moja prva izbira :)), a za to skupino sem si resnično želela posneti videospot, ker jo sestavljajo sami prekrasni ljudje in več kot samo nadarjeni glasbeniki. Vsekakor upam, da vam bo všeč. In, fantje, upam, da bo ta videospot dobra promocija za vašo skupino ter lep spomin. :) Videospot si lahko ogledate spodaj ali pa na tem linku.

Želim vam čudovit začetek tedna!

Eng: Maja and I made a video for a group named Ulixes. I was "the camera" and Maja made it all work together. And she did a magnificent job. This is not my attempt to be a videographer (I sure am sticking with photography :)), but I just wanted this particular group to have a video to show, because I respect them as musicians and they all are really great, some of them I can call my close friends. Guys, hopefully this video will be a good promotion for you and a nice memory as well. :) You can see the video below or by clicking on this link.

To all of you, I wish you a nice start of the week.

Družinsko fotografiranje: Maša + Mina

(or Family Photography: Maša + Mina)

V začetku oktobra sem se za družinsko fotografiranje zmenila s sestrama Mašo in Mino. Mašo poznam iz srednješolskih klopi, kjer se je najino prijateljstvo začelo, a se zares razvilo šele, ko se je srednja šola končala. Maša je resnično čudovita ženska - iskrena, z dobrim smislom za humor in unikatnim stilom - vam moram enkrat pokazati nekaj njenih kreacij. :) Mino sem bolje spoznala ravno na sešnu in včasih res ne vem, "komu" naj se zahvalim, da imam priložnost spoznati tako lepe osebe, kakršna je tudi ona. Maša in Mina - upam, da so fotografije vse, kar sta si želeli ;). Kisses! * :)

Eng: It was the beginning of October Maša, Mina and I met for a family/ sister photo session. I know Maša from highschool, where I friendship began and grown ever since. Maša is an incredible person - totally love her - she has this great sense of humor, is always honest and has the most unique and amazing cloth style - I have to show you her creations one day. I got to know Mina better on this photo session we had and sometimes I really ask myself who do I owe a "thank you" to for bringing such amazing people in my life. Maša and Mina - hope you loooove the photos! Kisses to both of you! ;)

Bil je res lep jesenski dan in Tivolija se nikakor ne morem naveličati! Dekca, kostanj, zelenje, vonj po svežem in čudovita družba!

Eng: It was a really lovely autumn day and I can not get tired of Tivoli - a blanket, chestnuts, a fresh scent and a wonderful company!

Č.U.D.O.V.I.T.O!

Eng: You are both so beautiful!

Na koncu sem želela ujeti še nekaj njunih detajlov in mislim, da sem s spodnjo fotografijo ujela še več. Ena mojih najljubših fotografij.

Eng: I wanted to get some details at the end and a photo below is even more that just a detail - I love this one, really.

Maša in Mina, hvala vama, da sta mi zaupali to "nalogo" :) . Uživala sem vsako sekundo! Vsem skupaj pa želim čim več sestrske ljubezni! ;)

P.s.: danes je tak "sestrski dan" - in ob tej priložnosti tebi, moja draga sestra, vse najboljše * :)

Eng: Maša and Mina, thank you for trusting me with this "assignment" :) - I have enjoyed every second of it. To all of you out here - wish you lots od sister love! ;)

P.s.: since today is this kind of a "sister day" - I just want to say: happy B day, my dear sister! Lovvve you!*
