founded and run by

photography enthusiasts, and

volunteers from all parts of

Croatia.Aimingatachievinghighquality

content, the magazine is published

quarterly in PDF format so it can easily

be downloaded, saved and browsed

through every now and then. It is only

available on the Internet, in order to

avoid high cost distribution fees, break

territorial borders and reach every

single part of the Earth, free of charge.

It is because of its cosmopolitan nature

that Blur is edited simultaneously in

Croatian and English. Though initially

established under the name of Bulb at

the close of 2007, in September 2009,

it changed its editorial board, refreshed

its team of collaborators and, using a

bit more ‘blurry’ name, Blur now heads

for new challenges.

EDITORIAL COLUMN

Samobor is a small idyllic town near Zagreb

where the only professional gallery specialized

in photography in Croatia is situated. It is called

photo gallery Lang. Although small in its size, the

gallery is truly grand because of its expertise and

contribution to Croatian photography. Moreover,

many famous cultural institutions would be

envious of the gallery’s rich and high quality

program.

organize an international exhibition of Polaroid

photography entitled The Best Polaroid Photo

which will be staged in March 2011. On this

exhibition 30 small masterpieces selected by our

expert panel among several hundred photographs

from all over world will be presented.

However, only some people know that Samobor

has another great icon of Croatian photography

who comes from the very end of the 19th and

the early 20th century. This is a stereography

photographer Franjo Bahovec; an entrepreneur,

world traveler and passionate amateur

photographer who, apart from very intimate

photos of his wife and photos of his city Samobor,

did some amazing historic shoots of large cities

such as New York. This extremely interesting and

valuable legacy, until today, has been presented

to the public on two exhibitions in photo gallery

Lang. It is our great pleasure to announce the

world premiere of Franjo Bahovac’s work that

we will extensively present in the following four

BLUR issues.

professionals think of it as the best online photo

magazine. It is because our team is driven by

a desire of providing high quality content from

various aspects of photography, world expansion

and internationalization of the editorial - with the

aim to create a unique photo journal. We are

proud to announce our new editor of Playstick,

Jennifer Henriksen from Canada, also known

as Holga Jen, a photographer and a passionate

toy camera user. In addition, we are introducing

a new section called Wet Plate where we

will present the truly mystical and romantic

works shoot with this antique photo technique.

Finally, we decided to give another perspective

of the world of photography which is why we

interviewed Suzanne Pastor, a respected

collector of photo artworks who revealed

her experiences in the photography market.

Since most of our readers around the world

probably don’t know much about Samobor, I

must emphasize that this is a city with rich history

in photography. Fotokemika is a name surely

familiar to every analogue photography fan. This

worldly known manufacturer of photo ilms was

established exactly in Samobor in 1947. Also, it

was in Samobor, back in the 1924, where Tošo

Dabac, a master of Croatian photography which

we presented in BLUR magazine and through

web site www.tosodabac.com, irstly came into

contact with photography.

BLUR magazine has been successfully

cooperating with the gallery for several years

now, recognizing in it the potential and the kind

of driving force that also motivates our team

members. Therefore, in order to help this unique

Croatian house of photography, BLUR magazine

is the gallery’s oficial media sponsor and

creator of its website www.fotogalerija-lang.com.

It is in this gallery, courtesy of its program advisor,

Mr. Želimir Koščević, where BLUR magazine will

But let’s say something more about our twentieth

issue. There is a very good reason why BLUR

is read in the whole world and why some
