Living my dream
Did you really think I forgot all about my photoblog? Did you really think that I quit posting? Well, you should be a shame of yourself. 
It would be pointless to discuss about all the reasons for not writing and publishing photos. Somewhere along the way I got stuck in a trap called “laziness”. But I strongly believe I finally got out. Let me start with a few words about the changes on my site, my work situation and my whereabouts.
THE CHANGES.
As you probably noticed, I made some changes to my galleries and chose a different provider for my internet site. So I moved my blog back to WordPress and all my galleries to SmugMug. But please, be patient as my site isn’t finished yet. I sincerely hope to finish it in the next few months, while still serving my time here on Kosovo.
WHAT’S NEW?
Last year I applied to serve under Kosovo forces for a period of six month and here I am. The toughest thing to overcome was being away from Andreja for so long. But with a little help from msn, we are facing the long distance quite all right. At the moment we are spending some fabulous time on the Canary island called Fuerteventura. Endless beaches, sunny weather and beautiful landscapes. You guest it right, I’m on vacation and I could only wish it would last forever. Going back to Kosovo in a few days will be yet another horrible experience. But only for two months and that’s it.
LIVING THE DREAM
I admit, at the beginning it was kind of strange felling. I still remember my first trip from airport to base, stationed about an hour away by bus. It was raining, the landscape was covered in snow and all I could see was “autolarje” (car wash) and a lot of trash, scattered by the road. But the season changed, the weather got better and my main work was replaced with my greatest passion. After two month, we (Borut, Ivo and I) have managed to put together a system and a network for all the computers owned by our contingent and just when I thought I was about to inhale, the photo opportunity stroked. And it hit me with full force, so now I am either out on the field with our troops or post processing the taken images. The troops appreciate of me being around and as far as I’m coinsured, I’m just “living my dream” as a photographer. There is a ton of material so far and as soon as my department gives me a green light, I will post those photos on my photoblog.
So that’s it for now and be sure to watch the video I put together, just to get an idea of what I’m working on right now. Next time I will definitely write something about my new Nikkor 70-200 2.8 VRII lens. And most definitely I attend to publish an article about Kosovo.
