July 5th, 2011 @Ljubljana, Slovenia
A Ljubljana castle reflecting a blazing sunset welcomed me last evening, and here I am at an office of “Kralji Ulice” this morning.
This Slovenian street magazine got birth in December, 2004. On the shivering night, a group of university students decided to spend a night on the street with homeless people. Surprisingly homeless people welcomed the newcomers and taught how to sleep on the street with warmth and more amenity. Their relationship lasted more than one night and after 6 months,“Kralji Ulice” got fruited.
A director of the street magazine, Maja told me that “Kralji Ulice” meant kings of street. “That is the reason why all of the covers are photos of our vendors. On top of that, the vendor appeared at the back cover again with the very important person of his or hers, such as a partner, a volunteer, or a staff .”
All of the covers are on the wall of the office and all the kings of the street just smiled at me.
