This are some lines out off songs that really touch me at the moment. Really great stuff, worth listening to with open heart and mind:
"Dreamer you are welcome
Tell me why are you still out there
Beauty sleeps in moments
Tell me what are you afraid of"
[Diorama - Panes of Glas]
"Nothing ever goes right
Nothing really flows in my life
No one really cares
If there's horrors inside my head"
[Brett Anderson - Love is dead]
"I still reach for the stars
But all I touch is my horizon
I still believe my eyes
But all I see is my blindness"
[Diary of Dreams - Tears of Laughter]
"In the end, far too late
We asked 'what will remain?'
But the world had closed her eyes
And there's nothing left but pain
I wish we could smell the sea
I wish I could hold you
And you would hold me
You can't save me,
I can't save you
[Edge of Dawn - Beauty lies within]
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden
that's bursting into life
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes
They're all I can see
[Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars]

My dad... for the strength he showed during his las weeks and for the belief he's put in me every time.
I am a passionate photographer; especially I love to take pics at concerts. Taking concert photographs combines my love for music and photography. I spend most of my spare time taking and editing pics and working for the webzine Reflections of Darkness which I built up with some really great and enthusiastic people.
My biggest dream came true when I had the possibility to shoot my favourite band Depeche Mode during their show at the LTU Arena in Düsseldorf/Germany on 20th January 2006.
