2011.

Težko je strniti 365 dni v nekaj (najljubših) fotografij. In ko sem se odločila, da bom po eno fotografijo izbrala za vsak mesec, je bilo to enostavno nemogoče! Veliko preveč presunljivih trenutkov je zaznamovalo preteklo leto in tukaj je nekaj tistih, ki so zaznamovali moje leto. Nekateri morda na videz povsem običajni, a zame vsi zelo pomembni, izjemni in edinstveni. Četudi bi morala objaviti vsaj še ducat fotografij trenutkov, ki sem jih preživela s prijatelji, jih hranim v spominu. In na trdem disku. Za vedno.

JANUAR

Začetek leta sem pričela z novo holgico. • I started new year with new lomo photo camera holga.

Leto sem začela delovno. Celo leto sem pokrivala lepe in presunljive zgodbe. Nekajkrat so me sogovorniki tako zelo navdušili, da sem si, četudi je bilo delo pogosto naporno in dolgo v noč, rekla: "Zaradi takih ljudi sem vesela, da opravljam poklic novinarke in fotoreportrke." • My year started busy. I was covering many interesting stories and many interviews were special for me. I said to myself: "I am happy to live life of a journalist and photoreporter."

FEBRUAR

Koncertno (dobesedno! saj sem bila skoraj vsak drugi dan na katerem od koncertov) leto se je začelo z angleško zasedbo Plan B. • Year of concerts started with British group Plan B.

Legendarna Julee Cruise (na fotografiji njen član zasedbe), Lyncheva muza glasbe iz filma Twin peaks je pričarala imeniten koncert. • Legendary Julee Cruise, very well-known as a singer from Twin peaks made an amazing concert.

Izlet v berlin. In -15 stopinj celzija. Prijatelji. In Super srečni časi. • Trip to Berlin. -15 degrees Celsius. Friends. Super Happy Times.

MAREC

Dan, ko sem se vrnila iz Berlina, sem se na pustno soboto oblekla v ocean. Z mamico sva pripravili kostum, nato pa sem odplavala v karnevalsko noč. • On the day I returned back from Berlin, I went to a carneval. I made myself an "ocean" costume.

APRIL

Službeni obisk severnega in južnega Cipra. • In April I went to a business trip to Cyprus.

MAJ

Maja sem bila uradna fotografinja enega najbolj bizarnih koncertov vseh časov. Tokyo Decandance. • In May I was official photographer of Tokyo Decadance Show grup.

Pot po Ameriki me je peljala po zahodni obali. Vse od Hollywooda v Los Angelesu, prek Las Vegasa, nato pa ob obali vse do San Francisca. • I went on a road trip on the West Coast. All the way from Los Angeles to San Francisco.

... tam sem se srečal z ultramaratonskim plavalcem Martinom Strelom in ameriškim SLovencem Joejem Udovčem. Super dan. Super svet. • ... in San Francisco I met with ultramarathon swimmer Martin Strel and his friend Joe Udovč. We had a great day.

JUNIJ

Izšla je knjiga, ki je nastajala leto dni! Z očijem sva napisala in predstavila roman Ilirija za vedno. Ponosna sem na končni izdelek in svojo prvo knjigo. • Book Ilirija za vedno was published! Me and my dad presented our book, we were working on for more than a year. I am proud of our work. And I am very proud on book with my name written on it.

Flogging Molly je bil še eden tistih koncertov, ki jih zagotovo ne smem pozabiti v letu 2011. Skakalo se je. In pelo. In norelo. • Flogging Molly was one of those crazy concerts I went to last year. Everybody was dancing and singing like insane.

Nisem ljubiteljica pločevine. A GTI Treffen v Avstriji je bil poseben. Ker sem se tam po štirih letih srečala s svojim prijateljem Lukasom. • I am not a big fan of autos but GTI Meeting in Austria was important for me. Because me and my dear friend reunited after four years.

Koncert ameriške skupine The Walkmen me ni navdušil. A takrat je nastala ta genialna fotka. • I wasn't impressed by The Walkmen music. But I really like the photo I made at the concert the other day.

Še eden tistih intervjujev, za katere sem si rekla: "To je delo, zaradi katerega imaš tako rada novinarski poklic". Bilo je zares imenitno. In fantje so me s svojimi žonglerskimi vragolijami ne le nasmejali, temveč tudi povsem navdušili. • I was preparing interview for a Sunday edition of Delo newspaper NeDelo. I enjoyed it very much and I was pretty amazed and inspired by those happy juggling guys.

JULIJ

Obožujem mednarodni poulični festival Ana Desetnica! In tokrat sem bila prvič del dogajanja. Z vilinskim svetom in vilinskimi pravljicami. Neverjetno! Norčavo! Čudovito! • I was a part of international street thetre festival Ana Desetnica which takes place every summer in Ljubljana. It was awesome.

Februarja sem zamudila koncert v Berlinu, zato je bil tisti v Križankah eden boljših letošnjega leta. Pravzaprav sem se kar malo ponovno zaljubila v glasbo skupine The National. Ne bom pozabila poplesavanja na rahločutno in melanholično glasbo. In po koncertu pivo s člani skupine v Irish Pubu. • I missed their gig in Berlin in February but I cough the one in Križanke summer theatre in Ljubljana. It was just perfect night with The National. Even after the show when I went to have a beer with musicians in Irish Pub.

AVGUST

Veliko odprje razstave na pročelju stavbe v Šiški. Katedrala na prostem. Krasi jo več kot deset mojih fotografij in razstavljam kot edina ženska fotografinja. • Grand opening of big outside exhibition in Ljubljana. There are more than 10 photographs made by me presented up there and I was the only female photographer participating in the project.

Zaživela je nova blagovna znamka! ROZINKA. Dišeče dobre Vile, Gozdne vile Cimetke in Pikčaste Kokoške odslej združene pod skupnim imenom. Dobrodošli na www.rozinka.com

Avgust je že tradicionalno čas za Trnfest. In letošnji je bil prav poseben - moja fotografija, posneta na The Tide koncertu, je dobila nagrado na natečaju za eno najboljših fotografij natečaja! • August is usually dedicated to Trnfest Music Festival. But this year it was special to me. I won a prize for the photo (the left one) I made on The Tide concert.

Uživala sem v Hong Kongu. • I was enjoying Hong Kong.

DECEMBER

Na Baliju. Po treh letih znova. Vse enako. Vse čudovito. Ljubim Bali. • Three years after my last visit. Bali three years later. Still the same, still beautiful. I love Bali.

Vožnja z ameriškim prijateljem Danom skozi riževa polja. Njegov najeti motor. Najeta čelada - biljardna krogla. • Reunited with my American friend Dan who I met in California in May. We went around Bali with his rented motorbike and my rented "8-ball" helmet I got nick name after later on.

V Ljubljani je nastopal švedski Cirkus Cirkor. Navdušena! • Ljubljana was hosting Cirkus Cirkor from Sweden. They made an amazing show!

Dolgoletna želja obiska Viba Filma, kjer sem posnela svoj prvi oglas za Jutranjko. Neverjetni studii, fundusi, na tisoče oblek, oblačil, čepic, klobukov, kravat, pohištva in še česa. Tokrat službeno z namenom prirpaviti reportažo. Za revijo Jana. • I went to Viba Film studios to make a reportage for magazine Jana. It was my big wish to visit this place. And It was as I expected - amazing!

Leto pa zaključila z imenitnim pogledom nad oblaki. Nad megleno decembrsko Ljubljano. • My year finished above clouds. Above foggy Ljubljana.

It was pretty hard to choose just few photos to present "my year in photos 2011". That's why I've chosen those few moments which were important for me. All unique, incredible and magical. mankica
