New Striptiz portrait – Aldo Kumar, a composer
Aldo Kumar is very successful Slovenian music composer and I made this portrait for Mladina weekly, for their Striptiz rubric. More creative portraits you can see on my site www.borutpeterlin.com
Striptiz portrait – Conny Blom
Conny Blom is a Swedish artist, portrayed in front of Ljubljana’s stock exchange market with his art piece from exhibition – carrots bound as a bomb. Portrayed for Mladina’s STRIPTIZ rubric with Nikon D3s and flash Balcar 1500Ws with a softbox.
PS: carrots bound as a bomb is an art piece of Conny Blom and he’s usually planting it in front of a gallery where he’s exhibiting.
Portrait of Primož Ekart, an actor
Here are few portraits of Primož Ekart, a renown actor interviewed in this issue of Mladina. We had a first photo-shoot on Tuesday, but my brand new CF card got ruined and all images were lost. We re-shoot the images on Wednesday morning. You can imagine how stressful it was. Not to mention the snowy roads… The best picture is the first one, but I can’t decide between the third and the second one?
The same thing happen to me last week, but Kotar succeed to rescue almost all images for 60 EUR, but this week workers that work on this expensive hardware for recovery, were abroad until next week. Too much!!!
To explain the CF memory loss briefly. Brand new card reader (don’t remember the brand, but no-name basically) works normally with old version of Sandisc CF cards, but when I wanted to write an IPTC info on new Sandisk CF card III 60 MB/sec it just died and all images were lost, no computer could detect a CF card anymore. As I understand cardreader is to be blamed, although I don’t understand why it read/write perfectly on Sandisc CF card II 30 MB/sec. A nightmare…

Minister Gaspari and his exit strategy from recession
Minister Mitja Gaspari comes to Chamber of Economics in Ljubljana to present Slovenian businessman new governments exit strategy from recession. It’s literally constantly in the news this new “exit strategy from recession”.
When I was waiting for the arrival of the Minister, I noticed a sign for exit, so I took a side position, set my camera to live view, raised it high above and made some flash tests, bouncing flashlight from right, left, up, behind,… I was really happy with the result, but when I saw the picture on the screen I couldn’t believe it that there was another exit sign behind Minister Gaspari. Little luck is always photojournalist’s best friend.
