With love for my dear friends about last creative week April 26, 2010

Joža has opened our circus…

Kids started drawing first day, so many creative brains.

Kristina was helping me… with Nutella

Meet crazy Sandra singing with her “broken restored band”.

Some hallway acting… Ida and Sabina. Never be bored with them.

My mentor Borislav talking about photography and chocolate, I think.

My dear friends in the middle of our circus parade.

Not the end, but just a break.

It’s not easy writing this report, because of the sadness and all those beautiful memories. Unbelievable is that one week of creative workshops can connect people so strong. We have simply became inseparable. Everybody are so kind and dear, everybody are smiling all the time. You have to feel that energy. It’s better than utopia, really!

Actually I don’t know how to write down my feelings and where to start. So, I won the elections for the best clown, yay! Whole week was superb and we have made a real circus. It’s beautiful being surrounded with the happy creative kids, I miss them so much. Once again I’ll repeat, everything was happening in my hometown and my ex elementary school. Day begins with the breakfast and morning creative work, buzzing around the school and watching what others are working. Lunch and short break for sunbathing, elevator riding and photo sessions on the meadow. Afternoon creative work in the school again and than, finally, showtime at the hotel. Many arts united on one place, Novigrad, my hometown.

I know all those kids still miss Novigrad and everything what happened here last week, because they are sending me messages all the time. I can’t count anymore how much people I’ve hugged last week, and how much of them have a picture with (or of) me. My voice is still “broken” couz of singing and lots of ice cream that I’ve ate. Back into “normal” world I’m out of space and time. Maybe everything I wrote here today sounds wired and “Nah, that’s just one week”, no it’s not. You have to try it out. During 8, yes 8, years of this creative workshop I’ve met many-many dear people, my friends for ever; and photography as my biggest passion. This was just a try to express my feelings and write a report for all those creative kids and dear people.

DO NOT BE SAD, BE HAPPY BECAUSE WE’VE MET EACH OTHER. STAY IN TOUCH, LOVE YOU ALL! YOU ARE MY FAMILY, HAPPY FAMILY!

Did I missed something?

    Jako mi se sviđa tvoj blog. Baš je pravi blog. :) No naravno, osvrnut ću se na post o Novigradu… Vidiš, meni je danas bilo jako čudno ustati, brzo se spremiti za školu. Nema Sabine kojoj se moram derati da se probudi, nema jurenja na doručak di bi se sa vama smijala, nema jurenja na radionice…Sve mi to jako jako fali. Bilo mi je jako doć u školu punu poznatih ljudi, koji su mi se zapravo činili ko stranci. Nema Agi i Ponči koje crtaju po zidovima i Danijela koji iskače iz raznih kutova sa svojim fotićem. I ja znam, da stvarno nije jednostavno rječima reći ono šta nam je svima na srcu, ali ti si sve to lijepo opisao, i opet me vratio u hotel i u Novigrad. :) Vidimo se druge godine!! :*
    btw: fotke su ti lude. mogo bi ih i na fejs :P

    Jao,Danijele,očarao si me :D

Hey there, dear friends.

I hope you understand how hard is doing everything alone to keep this blog alive. I've made it because I'm passionate about art & because I wanna celebrate it with you. I'm looking for more and I wanna share more, but I'm very busy doing commercial & personal photography work. So I paused a bit with blogging here.

You still can submit your art work and enjoy all hundered and ten published articles... till I come back with new interesting stories.

Make sure you have subscribed (rss) and you are following me on Twitter. Thanks. Much love!
