Me, my friend, my sister and another friend
Well I was pretty sure that I would go to the carnival parade to capture some moments, however I stayed home. Yeah, me lazy pig! I have a excuse though. The weather was just gross: drizzle with some big snowflakes. I thought spring was about to come. So, I’m sorry I cannot show you some pictures of the carnival parade. But I think there is...

I might disappoint you all. I don’t have any new work/photography or anything interesting to write about. Since I got my enrollment in Berlin I’m looking like hell for a room in a sharing flat. And of course my work as sales assistant keeps me quite busy. Seems like there’s no hope that I might get a nice place to stay until college starts. As expected all student dorms in Berlin...

Berlin! Berlin!
Wow, I got enrolled at an university in Berlin. That means I won’t move to Stuttgart anymore. I still can’t believe that I will move to such a big and cool city! I have always dreamt of moving to Berlin after I spent a week with friends in Berlin for 1,5 years ago. In my opinion Berlin is totally unique, so multicultural and modern but at the same time a great city with a huge...

Changing is to let go fear

Same old, same old
It’s been over 3 months since my last drawing. What do you think?
A drawing which I started a couple of days ago. I wonder if I will ever finish it. Anything new in my life? Not really, I just to work, get home, hang out with friends, go out and then work again. Nothing new at all.

The Magnificent Mile in Chicago
90 Days of fun are almost over. I have to get back to my normal life. I hate it! Applying for universities and looking for jobs.. that’s going to be exhausting. I can feel it! Some facts about my trip:
- Withing 24h I was in 3 big cities in the USA. First I had a bus ride from NYC to Boston which lasted 6h. Then I got back home at my relative’s house...

SHOPAHOLIC
For everyone who lives in America or went to the United States for vacation knows how addicting shopping is! Everything is on sale and sometimes you get even on stuff on sale additionally up to 50% off! You just cannot resist. It’s so much cheaper than in Europe and America has all kind of stores! I love shopping here. And… I have this weird habit. Do you collect shopping bags, too?...

OLD TOWN ALBUQUERQUE
It’s a nice city but to be honest I’m glad when I’m out of this city. I am way too used living in big cities like Chicago, New York City and Boston. I can’t wait for Las Vegas, Hollywood and O.C. next week!

CARNIVAL SPIRIT
Wow, I thought I would have time for some blogging. Anyway I’m busy with shopping and having fun over here in Chicago. Since I have been to the USA I have a new addiction: shopping. You cannot imagine how amazing the “shopping culture” (is this even a word?) is! I always thought that Oxford Circus or Regents Street in London are good for shopping. Now I can say it’s...

Finally I’m back in Chicago! I don’t know why but I feel kinda home here. And I really want to rest now. In the last 24h hours I was in 5 different states (NJ, NY, MA, CT, IL) and 3 of the biggest cities (New York City, Boston and Chicago) in the US. The pictures you can see above where taken when I arrived in NYC. Luckily it just rained that day. The other four days I spent in NYC...

JOHN HANCOCK OBSERVATORY
How does it feel to be on a 1127 ft (344m) tall building?
When you will ever be in Chicago you definitely should go to the “John Hancock Observatory”. You will have an amazing view over Chicago! It’s the 6th tallest building in the United States!

My last couple of weeks and days were amazing. I try to spend my free time as much as I can with my friends before heading to the States! In less than a week I’m Chicago! I still can’t imagine myself being in America.. Anyway I still have to buy some presents for my relatives over there and I can’t think of any! Do you have any suggestions except of German chocolate? Please...

For those who wants to know which model is it: ASUS N53SN (X5MSN).

I AM IN LOVE WITH ROLLER COASTERS!
Last weekend my friends and me went to the theme park “Heide Park”. If you guys have a chance to go there you definitely should go! I think it’s one of the best theme parks in Germany.
The main thrill rides are: “Scream”, the highest gyro drop tower in the world (102 meters); “Colossos”, the fastest and biggest wooden roller coaster in Europe and...

SCHOOL'S OUT
It’s finally over. This was my last “School’s Out Party” with my friends. I kinda feel sad about being no high-schooler anymore but sometimes you have to say good-bye.
By the way: I got hired in a full-time job (and it’s hard work urgh) recently and I’m working for something very special. No it’s no camera equipment and stuff. It’s something I...
