    Bevog X Ment, Kino Šiška

    Sometimes I go to a festival just to photograph beer and friends. Not necessarily in that order. My first time at Ment – quite a memorable one, despite the security giving me grief about my cameras. It’s been a while… Cheers to Rok and Tim for coming along and making my job easier.

    S01E16 – Anything But Therapy

    Episode 16. Instead of running, I took the extra time to make some Instagram posts, edit old videos and publish photos. I also made a list. Promised last week, here’s Nine Circles Of Hell (concert edition). Clients who think they are above paying the invoice for a service provided months ago. People recording the entire…

    S01E15 – Anything But Therapy

    Episode 15. Every episode, there is a vicious battle between just ranting away and howling at the moon, or just reminiscing over the past week and finding those bright spots. Some weeks, they are really hard to find. My friend Nina posted a humorous, but quite engaging post of her own version of Dante’s circles…

    S01E14 – Anything But Therapy

    Episode 14. It’s been 14 days since Episode 13, and the amount of good and bad in between was… exhausting, to say the least. The photo exhibition last week was a major success. A short trip to Denmark followed – delicious and brief. Landed in Zagreb to 20+ degrees, only to wake up to a…

    S01E13 – Anything But Therapy

    Episode 13. It’s funny how a short break from your favourite band can put a refreshed perspective on what it actually means to you, and boy, did I miss it. Almost three months without a gig, coming back to Maribor for a 3-hour Siddharta special. Explosive! My inner trigger-happy child went ballistic with a record-breaking…

    S01E12 – Anything But Therapy

    Episode 12. Insert excuse here. With overly optimistic goals, a bit much on my plate and spending too much time on Instagram, it was a week filled with adulting and admin. Feeling unaccomplished and barely catching enough sleep. Job hunting interviews take a lot of mental energy – I can’t really help it, but again,…

    S01E11 – Anything But Therapy

    Episode 11. With every good intention of sending this episode on time, one simple phone call – and my inability to say no to a new experience – means I’m once again cutting into my sleep time. I’m trying hard not to make it a habit. We’ll see next week. On the bright side, I…

    freeLENSerji, episode 9

    Joined Goran Vadlja Kamenjašević and Uroš Bitenc to talk about unwritten rules, etiquette, photos I did (and didn’t) take – and a few mild rants, in Slovene. Let me know what you think.

    S01E10 – Anything But Therapy

    Episode 10. A long Monday, and as I often say, “Ni težko, kar se mora.” So here I am, writing this past my usual bedtime. Sleep? Soon. Looking back at my calendar and camera roll, it was an extraordinary week – mostly family and social time, good food, and a deep dive into some special…

    Coffee people are the most annoying people on earth

    Here’s why you should become one. We gatekeep a fruit. We argue about water temperatures in decimal points We describe beans like we’re reviewing perfume. Insuferable. But we also wake up excited. Not for caffeine. For the ritual. The smell. The pour. The first sip that tells you if you nailed it. You can spend…
