BORUT PETERLIN in a rabbit hole of photography

With huge delay I’m publishing pictures from floods that were happening last weekend in Kostanjevica, Slovenia. Also our Toyota 4×4 stuck in the water. This Toyota is actually a heavy duty proper terrain machine. It’s engine is waterproof, air is sucked from the pipe on the roof level and the engine was keep on going even if water was at window level. We had to stop because exhaustion gases were starting to get into the cabin. We were dragging a canoe behind us, so we rescued ourselves. Toyota is owned by Mladina weekly. They loved the pictures I brought back, so no harm done!

PS: Mladina has an old Fiat Punto and although I just persuaded them to buy me a Toyota 4×4, this pictures did ruin photographer’s “wet dream”. Marjan Jerele is the owner of the Toyota and is also a pilot of a hot air baloon. Actually he owns them few. If you need a great gift for your loved ones, call him. Half of my relatives already flew with him and all of them loved it totally. http://www.balonarstvo.net/

Jure Robič died in a car accident today. He was true inspiration for everybody who have met him. He was the only person who won five times Race Across America RAAM and watching him cycling was an experience of humbleness to this great athlete! I’ve met him on Monday at Stožice stadium and I’m made a picture for him as a souvenir, but flash settings overexposed the shot. Only his shots were all overexposed. Only his three shots. Those shots casually taken turned out to be the last shots of Jure…

If I remember correctly Nan Goldin said that she was taking pictures of her friends that were dying, to keep the memories, to keep them alive in her memory, but after their death, photographs are just reminding her how much she’s lost.
