sodijo v sam svetovni vrh. Cilj je bil dosežen, po nekaj letih
podjetniško uspešne rutine prvega čarterja na Jadranu pa ga
je začelo gnati naprej.
Takrat je med njegovimi številnimi strastmi zmagala
fotografija – v povezavi s potovanji, pustolovščino,
raziskovanjem, iskanjem, opazovanjem. in prvo naročilo, ki
je botrovalo nenehnemu poklicnemu potovanju naslednjih
dvajsetih let. Snemal in fotografiral je neskončno revne
in neopisljivo bogate ljudi, prišel do najbolj nedostopnih
naravnih in arhitekturnih kotičkov, opazoval in občudoval vse
kontinente, se družil z rekorderji in ekstremi najrazličnejših
tematik in objavljal v vseh najbolj uglednih revijah sveta.
živel je v lausanni in parizu, kjer je bil nekaj časa tudi gostujoči
predavatelj na parsons School of design.
V Slovenijo se je vrnil leta 1994 – predvsem zato, ker je tu naravna
in kulturna ponudba na majhnem obvladljivem območju izjemna. Še
vedno potuje in je več po svetu kot doma. kako mu uspe sestaviti
nenehna potovanja, ki trajajo tedne, včasih celo mesece, z nalogami
urednika fotografije pri slovenski izdaji revije national geographic
in celo predavanji na dveh fakultetah vzporedno, je svojevrstna
umetnost. Vse vloge, ki jih sprejema, dodatno začinja z občasnimi
predavanji z različnimi vsebinami, ki jih namenja zelo raznolikim
skupinam – tako podjetjem ob pripravi poslovnih ali drugačnih
srečanj kot drugačnim združbam radovednih ljudi. obiskovalcem
spletne strani svojih stalnih sponzorjev www.reproms.si se javlja
s svojih popotovanj, ki so mnogokrat v celoti namenjena delu za
različne svetovne dobrodelne organizacije. zelo aktivno sodeluje
z mednarodno fundacijo za deminiranje (iTF), z rdečim križem,
amnesty international, Fundacijo Skupaj, UniCeF-om in drugimi
organizacijami, ki jih skrbno izbira glede na njihove kriterije in usmeritve.

company which makes some of the best sailboats in the world.
his goal accomplished, he set up and ran a successful sailboat
charter business, the first in the adriatic. after a few years,
however, he got restless and felt the urge to move on.
out of his many consuming passions it was photography that
won the contest – along with travel, adventure, exploring,
searching, seeking, questing and observing. and his first
assignment, which led to a series of orders, caused him to travel
constantly over the next twenty years. he took pictures and
video footage of the infinitely poor and the indescribably rich;
he ventured to the most remote corners of the earth to see the
wonders of nature and architecture; he studied and admired
all continents, hobnobbed with record holders in a variety of
fields and subjects, and was published in the most distinguished
magazines around the globe. he lived in lausanne and paris, where
for a time he was also visiting lecturer at parsons School of design.
he returned to Slovenia in 1994 – mostly due to its exceptionally
broad spectrum of nature and culture in a manageable area. he
continues to travel and still spends more time abroad than he does
at home. it is quite an art to juggle continuous travel assignments,
which stretch for weeks and sometimes months at a time, with his
responsibilities as editor of photography with national geographic
Slovenia and lecturer at two faculties at the same time. he tends
to augment all his assignments with occasional lectures on a
variety of topics, which are aimed at highly diverse audiences:
from corporations, as part of their business functions and other
gatherings, to associations and societies of people with enquiring
minds. arne’s frequent posts from his travels, which are often
undertaken on behalf of international charity organisations, can
be read on his regular sponsors’ website www.reproms.si. he is
actively involved with the international Trust Fund for demining (iTF),
the red Cross, amnesty international, Fundacija Skupaj, UniCeF
and other organisations, which he chooses very carefully, paying
particular attention to their aims and criteria. The most frequent
arne hodalič je brez dvoma posebnež, ki sega daleč iz množice.
deluje kot navdušujoča mešanica nemirnega otroškega duha in
globoke modrosti izkušenega starca. Kljub številnim priznanjem
svetovnega formata, ki jih je bil in jih je deležen skozi svoje delo,
ostaja povsem preprost in na neki način oddaljen od materialnih
potreb in nagrad. Kot bi ne imel časa zanje in bi hitel naprej, po
nekaj novega, svežega, ustvarjalnega ...
focus of his charity work is children all over the world, and he makes
no racial, religious or other distinctions.
arne hodalič is undoubtedly a unique individual who stands out
from the crowd. he integrates the restless and adventurous spirit
of a child with the profound wisdom of an experienced old man.
notwithstanding the countless coveted international awards he has
received for his work, he remains a very simple person, devoid of
attachment to material things and a need for recognition.
and, as if he had time for it, he is always planning and looking
forward to the next discovery, the next creative project…
