A photo album of pictures taken on the day of shooting of the Slovaks in Australia 2012 calendar.
Prvá marcová nedeľa bola v českej a slovenskej reštaurácii Koliba rušnejšia ako obyčajne, a to už skorého rána. Hlavný stan si v nej rozložili profesionálny fotograf Juraj Polák, jeho šestnásť modelov, kameraman a niekoľko kamarátov. V tento deň sa v okolitých uliciach štvrtí Fitzroy a Collingwood fotografoval kalendár Slováci v Austrálii 2012.
Keď sme v januári tohto roku pochodovali v 2011 Australia Day People's March, hrdí a s úsmevom od ucha k uchu, oblečení v nádherných slovenských krojoch, niekto navrhol, aby sme sa v nich odfotili a zo záberov pripravili kalendár. Účastníci pochodu boli myšlienkou nadšení. Padlo meno Juraja Poláka, profesionálneho fotografa žijúceho v Melbourne. Zberateľky krojov Dina Váňová a Ivanka Jančárová nám ochotne prisľúbili zapožičanie cenných kúskov z ich zbierok a odbornú pomoc pri fotografovaní. Jedna vec viedla k ďalšej a o šesť týždňov neskôr vám s radosťou oznamujeme, že fotografie sú nafotené.
