About pirano / Bob  

Born in Slovenia, derailed in Ohio for most of my life, before returning permanently to Slovenia in May 2004. I travel lots and often, and make a living writing about sports, wine, politics and travel, and do quite a bit of editing as well.


Belgrade, May 2007

What you'll find here spans the gamut, from quick travel snaps to images I spend more (perhaps too much) time with. Some are simply here as a reference to a certain place at a certain moment, some as stock images for those in search of something very specific, while others are waiting patiently to one day fill a niche on my sometimes blog, piran café. When time permits, I've also been organizing and uploading some photos and slides from travel and events from the 1990s, mainly to help jar some fading memories for a book project.

There's lots to wade through here, so a good place to start --should you choose too-- is here. If you prefer to browse geographically, start here. I'm fairly anal about tagging, so if your mind works remotely similar to mine, go here.

Yes, you should visit my blog, piran café.


Oslo, June 2007

Besides vino, sushi is high on my list of favorites. So is canoeing. I've never bought into Bush's Culture of Fear, and my primary goal is to live life as Kurt Vonnegut has -- and may his soul receive all the just rewards it so richly deserves.

Copyright Notice:
Added on 4-April-2008 for those of you who don't seem to understand what "ALL RIGHTS RESERVED" means --

Since my photos keep popping up in places --one brochure in which a photo of mine appeared, without permission, was actually emailed to me today!-- I must add the following, to make things perfectly clear:

All of my photographs here are under full copyright. If you'd like to use some for publication or would like a print, please contact me via the flickr mail link. I'm easy to please and give things away often, but stealing is definitely frowned up.

Any unauthorized use of any of my photographs, either in whole or in part, including alterations, is strictly prohibited. If any such unauthorized use is discovered, the party in question hereby agrees to pay a base fee of 4000€, VAT not included. Such fees charged for unauthorized use do not include any exclusivity rights to the photos.

Oh, and anyone who faves any images but doesn't have any images on their own stream will be blocked.

Open this in a separate window or tab, and sit back and enjoy.

Cheers!
