About this blog

Passions: books drawing, photography, food, shows, cartoons and movies, Warcraft, Youtube, hitchhiking, philosophy, talking to people all over the world in ridiculously late or early hours, getting up at 5am, presents, Fishing dailies, Dogville situations in life, cute things Japanese, archeology, large minimalistic interiors, coffee smoothies and looking for mushrooms in the woods.

Scorns: family fights, noisy people, having nowhere to park, people who make a fuss about being photographed, hypocrites, parasites, lousy professionals (say, dentists), dirty things that should be clean (like restaurants), most Slovenian movies, religion, tradicions, royalty, orange food and being noticed. don't notice me. I am the camera, I am the pen. that's all.
