I made a new picture for my Flower Power project. Last week Simon Peres was in Slovenia and I made this Flower Power images. First one is the best. Bodyguards guarding Flower and not president Peres. Great that I have Simon Peres in my FLOWER POWER bouquet along with George Bush, Angela Merkel, Ban KiMoon, DalajLama, Romano Prodi and Janez Drnovšek many others.

In August we’re moving in and here are few images of our house. Still lots of work are ahead but when we’ll move in everything will be easier. This is also a reason why I don’t blog so much, but most important reason is that currently I’m dependent on UMTS Internet connection that is slow as Monday.
PS: Tomorrow I’ll add few more pics.

Photo of the day; Darja Radić candidate for new Minister in Slovenian government. Does it resembles to a commercial bellow? Does it resembles to a state of government in Slovenia? (It stinks, stinks, it really stinks!)

My comment of government plan to save turbo capitalism by reduction of workers rights. It’s also this week’s photo of the week in Mladina weekly magazine.

I made this snapshot in front of Museum of Modern Art in Ljubljana, where cleaning ladies got a break standing in front of artwork of Tadej Pogačar.

On Sunday I was photographing a memorial ceremonial mass in Kočevski rog where in year 1945 there was without a trial a mass execution of collaborators and also many innocent people. On the way there I passed a place where my friend crashed his car into a tree and died and since I was driving through Kočevski rog forest roads the thought of death lingered back in my mind. On the road I noticed a sculpture by unknown artist and I took a picture of it (above) and then I was at ease, because this is a really great picture to finish a life of photographer, isn’t. Much cooler then Cappa’s final picture.
