2k21: Year in Review
It all started with a surprise when Taco Polako named a dish after me. If you haven’t tried ALPI štručka yet, you’re missing out. Soon after it was available on the menu, it became a bestseller. How cool is that? Rok, Igor and the girls, I’m sincerely grateful for spoiling my ass the entire year.…

Backstage with Miro Majcen & Jana Morelj
Being interviewed alongside a photography legend and a good friend, Miro Majcen is one of the highlights that will continue to bring a smile to my face. Jana Morelj invited us to her new podcast, Backstage. I was surprised and also somewhat nervous, especially as I prefer to “hide” behind the camera. But, ‘Ni težko,…

When helping out gets expensive
A scenario I’ve lately run into more than once goes something like this: A client reaches out. They want me to shoot a concert, event, some portraits, etc. I’m already booked or unavailable. Instead of immediately declining, I do what I consider a decent thing: I’ll recommend and reach out to a photographer I trust.…

A question I usually start asking sometime in September, fully aware that we’re still months away from that dangerously good pastry from the heart of Sicily. My name is Marko.

Concerts in 2025, the list
57 concerts. Two festival-ish. Twelve nights at Cankarjev dom. Twenty-six shows with Siddharta. And, as mentioned in my newsletter, very much a year of orchestras. Picking a favourite feels about as useful as choosing a favourite whisky. Honestly, I enjoyed every single show on this list. Some evenings started a little moody, but they all…

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.

Foto Beseničar Exhibition
Three months ago, I got a deceptively simple question: “Marko, can you pick 9 photos for a small exhibition at our shop?” Sure. I’ll do my best. It turned out to be one of the harder tasks I’d taken on in a while: nine frames out of 15 years and exactly 850 concerts, which took…

The Story of ALPI Štručka
Or how one late order became a legend. Three tacos. Should’ve been four. It all started innocently enough – an eHrana order. Taco Zvani Zajebani, 3 pieces. Excellent. But one bite in, two things were clear: one, I’d be ordering these a lot. Two – there should be four in the box. That’s how I…

The Three-Car Garage
A ride in a Lancia Stratos replica raised the question every car guy avoids: three cars, no constraints. Here’s my garage – in three levels of denial.

LEGO sets for sale
Selling family silverware? Kind of. I’ve got my eyes on a vintage set, and my current budget needs a pick-me-up, so here’s the deal… I have several LEGO sets for sale – most of them MISB (mint in sealed box, brand new) – and you can see exactly what’s available on the link below. LEGO…
