Holly crap, what a weekend!! First, company party on friday, then early morning rehearsal in Ljubljana, and at the evening, the night at the beach event in Izola. At the event, we heard two rocking bands, TABU (Vransko 09, Vransko 08, Capris Open Air) and Big Foot Mama (Best Union, Škisova tržnica, Graduation parade).
After evading me the last time in Bratislava – the day I came, it was pouring rain like it was judgment day and the concert was postponed to the next day, I finally managed to get the opportunity to photograph one of the world’s top guitarists, Mr. Carlos Santana.
A whole year has passed since, well, last year’s Vransko Summer Night. Interestingly enough, the line-up was similar to last year’s but that wasn’t a problem. Tabu rocked the night, as they usually do. Šank Rock were rocking as well, and I was quite impressed with Legalo Kriminalo, although to be honest, I did only hear a couple songs towards the end. Interesting, although probably a bit too heavy sounding for this event.
After a long hiatus I’ve finally gone out to a concert and took some pictures. I’ve been visiting concerts lately, but only as a listener. I must have seen at least a gazillion Tabu concerts :-). But I still enjoy every single one of them ;-). Anyway, the past weekend, in Koper, the unions of Slovenia organized a concert of a couple bands. Two of them I managed to catch, arriving just in time for the start of Rock Partyzani, followed shortly thereafter by, Big Foot Mama (Škisova 2008, Graduation Parade 2008 and Bruc 07).
After what can only be dubbed an organizational fiasco, we somehow managed to get beneath the stage where one of Rap’s greatest icons was due to perform. Snoop Dogg himself. I’m not much of a rap fan myself but I must admit I kind of liked the ambience he created – being high or not.
Finally, some time to post something new to the blog. I’ve been less active here for a while, but it’s because I haven’t been to a lot of concerts lately. I just didn’t have the time.
A couple weeks ago, there was a concert at Vransko. The concert was named Vransko Summer Night, and we witnessed performances by Big Foot Mama, Pankrti and finally, Tabu.
Yes, I’ve finally got enough time to write something to my blog again. There have been a number of interesting developments in my life recently, one of which is that I no longer work at eCTRL. My future plans will be revealed at the end of August, but I’m excited. Very excited :-).
There are a lot of things I have on my queue right now (photography wise), but I’ve decided to start with Alya. I’ve been to her concert in Porotorož. As with other concerts in the Avditorij this year (Gušti in Polona, Hladno Pivo and Leeloojamais), there were about 20 people present. Really a shame, as Alya showed she still has it.
On Thursday, a bit late in the day, I got news that I have received a photo pass for R.E.M. that evening in Udine, Italy. Well, technically, in Vila Manin. I covered the event for Delo.si here.
The drive to Udine was fast (I did have good company 
), but parking… Holly crap. We parked a kilometer away. And we could easily have driven closer to the venue. But we were told by the organizers that there are 10.000 people expected, so we decided to park where the masses parked :-). Next time, I don’t plan on making that mistake.
Tonight, Ljubljana’s Hala Tivoli was filled with fans of Seal’s dance-flavored music. Known by his stage name, his original name is a bit longer, Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel. Most people also know him for his marriage to the world famous super-model Heidi Klum, who unfortunately was not present today.
His performance today was an interesting one, although not really my taste. What really impressed me was the amount of crowd interaction he had.
Originally, I thought I’ll be photographing Judas Priest down in Zagreb. However, Glenn Tipton got sick (I think his appendix was the culprit). Thankfully, I got a chance of photographing Status Quo.
Admittedly, before the concert, I didn’t know a lot about them, I just knew a couple of their legendary songs like In the army now, Rockin’ all over the world and Whatever you want. I’m a fan now :).
This is a blog of a programmer/software architect, who also wants to be a photographer. I try to combine my two passions although it's photography that seems to be winning...
