I'm young, curious and totally unable to fit into a cupboard box of social conventions. I want to live this life to the fullest and capture everything I love, just to share it with you. So, if you found your way to this open book of memories, why don't you wander around a bit?

335/365 Relaxing under the sunrays I just had two words in my mind - “thank you”. This project and all those wonderful and great photographers and bloggers I met. The nice messages and the inspiration. The new perspective I gained upon the little beautiful aspects of my daily life. All this has been amazing! So, if you’re looking at this photo and by that are taking part in this journey that has lasted for 335 days and that will go on for 30 days (and 365 more days after that because I don’t want to stop), THANK YOU! You make this special. You make this more than just a photography project. The fact that exactly you, wherever you may be right now, are seeing my work makes tumblr and flickr the most magical places on earth to me.

330/365 Today it seemed like the sky was falling down and the world would end or at least drown under all the water. But when I got out the library, only a few minutes later, the sky was blue. The only hint of the strong rainfall were the huge puddles of water. It seemed like the sky had forgotten its rage and calmed down, showing everybody a big smile. Maybe that’s the lesson of the day - don’t mind the rainfalls, they never last forever and are mostly followed by blue skies.

315/365 There are too many shades of sky… because I love all of them and I truely feel that even after a lifetime I’ll never be able to capture and see them all.

303/365 Even if you’re head under water, never forget to aim high. You can never really lose. For every decision you make you will get something in return, a friend, a love, a new wisdom. Even if it knocks you off the road first, there is always a sky above you. You just have to aim for it.

299/365 We gaze up into the green, the blue, the endless variety of natures colours. And the only thought coming into our mind is to capture this. To capture all the beauty we see, so we can look at it and suddenly be back in this moment. Right here, gazing into the green and blue.

238/365 It’s exam time! I’m so sorry if my photos get a little sloppy during the next two weeks. But my exams are about to come and I still have three scientific papers to hand in. So time will be a really restricted ressource. But I’ll do my best and if you stay around I’m sure to pull out all those project that are stuck inside my head.  The interesting thing is that, right now where I should do nothing instead of learning, I have so many ideas for shoots and photos. There are so many beautiful places and foudn two vintage bistros that would be perfect for a shoot! So please, stay around.

194/365 I know the image is not great… but this sunset totally caught my eye. It was so peaceful! Sitting there and listening to the professor I couldn’t help but gaze at the city. I even sneaked to the window while lecture to capture it.  There are these moments that touch you. Without a reason you feel moved in you inner core. Peace comes over you and you appreciate every second. Those moments help us to gain strength, fill up our energies and lift us up. Maybe just because they show us that there are beautiful images out there to be captured in us.

180/365 Whenever I have a long day at university, moments like this make me smile. Especially in winter it feels like the day goes by without a chance to enjoy it. But when I look outside and the sun goes down like this, that one moment makes my day. It doesn’t matter how much time I spent in those classrooms. It just matters that I’m here right now to see the sun kiss the city good night.

166/365 Enjoying the last warm days this year. Suddenly weather got better and we were able to wander through the forest and enjoy the warm breeze. I’ll miss these days once winter is fully here. I’ll count the days till spring comes back.

130/365 Today was reward-day! I met my really dear brazilian friend and went to shop with her. I have to admit, I never bought any clothes for training purposes because I never did that much sport. Now I’m already going to the gym three times a week for over 3 months and I have no intend to stop. So today I rewarded myself for this 4 months of training with some suitable fitness-clothes. I know this sounds ridicilous, but for me it’s a big improvement. When I go to the gym I always look like the sesame-street cookie monster. It’s horrable and I’m surprised no child cried till now after seeing me. So I’m doing what my friend Cica told me: Embrace the godess in you! I surely don’t look like a godess but at least I don’t look like coming back from destroying Hongkong. I feel good in those clothes. Having them in my closet means that fitness has a longterm place in my life. So whatever you really want to do, make sure you create the right atmosphere for it. Buy the equipment you need, make some investment in yourself, believe that you’re not going to give up. Make a real investment in your talents! You sometimes don’t even try because there is always someone better and everybody is used to compeed. But so many things are not about competition. They’re about achieving your goals, believing in yourself, sharing success and most of all being who you want to be. Stop looking what others do, how well they do it or why. All the reasons you need are inside of you. If something makes you smile, if something makes you happy, if something helps you to share your feelings- just do it! That’s all that matters.

118/365 Be kind to your feet, for they will carry you through your life. They will walk you to new places. They will hold you up when you head is hanging down. They will stay with you no matter what happens.  Be kind to yourself.

99/365 Today I will have to share with you one of my analog pictures. Lately we’ve been having kind of a rush. For some reason we really wanted to finish all the decoration projects we’ve once started in our apartment. I think an apartment or house is never totally finished or ready, but after working 3 hours on our second photo-canvas, I’m finished for a good while. I’m curious what you’ve already done to make your room or home prettier. Anyway, this picture and our apartment makes something simple really clear, you don’t need big money to surround yourself with happiness. Photos, books and candles are not that expensive and will make every home and life a little brighter. And never forget the most important ingredient (and it’s for free!) - LAUGHTER!

85/365 After a long day spent inside my apartment (due to a really annoying paper for university) we decided to take a walk through the park. It was lovely and I adore having this peaceful place in only 5 weeks walking distance. Coming from a small town I’m used to having so much nature arround me. I miss those places in this big city and the peace that comes with the silence. But now I found this little park I can go to, when the city gets to loud for me. Walking there the weight upon my shoulder gets lighter and suddenly I feel more confident about the future. Everyone should have such a place carried with good feelings and confidence.
