Blondie cupcakes / Mini tortice iz bele čokolade

I created these beautiful cupcakes when I was in the biggest hurry. It’s always like this. When it is the most inconvenient for something like this to happen, it happens! I admit it, I swear when this happens. Not a lot, but I just must a little. It bothers me, when I can’t passionately devote to photography and disconnect from everything. It seems to me, that when my conditions aren’t perfect, the end result is not good. Because everything goes wrong. Everything was nice the topping got ruined. So I had to improvise and change the plan. In the end, everything looked nice, but still, I was mad =). Another thing that went wrong was that I wasn’t alone. I feel more comfortable when I’m alone. So I can focus. So nothing throws me off and I can really be Me. Gasper was home and thank God that he understands my unusual requests: ''Pretend that there’s an invisible wall between us and I’m not taking pics of these cupcakes in front of your nose, just do your own thing and the most important thing – DON’T LOOK AT ME, DON’T YOU DARE look at me!''. Almost all of what is written in the last sentence is true. But….it is true that I wasn’t it so strict and scary . But yeah, I did said he shouldn’t stare at what I’m doing and he of course violated this rule, because he always has to broke my rules at least once. But I did manage to focus on photographing, so the invisible wall works! With love, Neja

Te lepe mini tortice sem ustvarila, ko se mi je najbolj mudilo. Vedno je tako. Ko je najmanj potrebno, se vse podre in priznam, takrat preklinjam. Ne preveč ampak malo pa moram. Moti me, kadar se ne morem strastno posvetiti fotografiranju in odklopiti vse, ker se mi zdi, da je takrat rezultat slabši. Namenoma mi vsaka stvar nagaja. Vse je bilo lepo, dokler se ni krema za vrh tortic sfižila. Zato sem morala improvizirati in spremeniti plan. Na koncu je kar lepo izpadlo ampak vseeno sem bila jezna=). Druga stvar, ki je šla narobe je bila ta, da nisem bila sama. Najbolj mi paše, če sem pri vsem kar počnem v zvezi s tem blogom, sama. Da se lahko fokusiram. Da me nič ne zmoti in sem lahko res jaz. Gašper je bil doma in hvalabogu, da razume moje nenavadne prošnje: ''Pretvarjaj se, da je tukaj nevidni zid, da ne fotografiram cupcakes pred tvojim nosom, ukvarjaj se s tistim karkoli delaš in najbolj pomembna stvar-NE GLEJ ME, NE DRZNI SI ME POGLEDATI!''. Skoraj vse kar je zapisano v zadnjem stavku je resnica. Res pa je,da nisem bila tako stroga in strašna. Samo ja, res me ni smel pogledati, kar je seveda prekršil. Vedno mora vsaj enkrat prekršiti kar ga prosim =). Sem se pa lažje osredotočila na fotografiranje, torej nevidni zid deluje!
