Finally I got it. I am free. I am free to go anywhere I want. A world full of adventures, miracles, amazing countries, different cultures are in front of me. Ready to be discovered.
This summer would be the first time for me to be totally on my own.
Together with a good friend of mine I went on a trip to good old Italy for two weeks.
Just with our backpacks as home we traveled through whole Italy.
From Milano to Pisa to Rome and Neaples down to Palermo/ Sicaly and back upwards to Venice with a stop in Florence.
It was an amazing trip that I will never forget. Alll this lovely experiences with native italian guys and other travellers from all over the world.
On this trip I tried to capture the moments of real Italy in a country full of tourists. I just didn`t wanted to phototagraph the sights as every tourists do.
I am a student at a high school in north Germany. Photography is that hobby for me where I can express my creativity. Taking photos is a kind of relaxing for me where I can forget problems for a moment when I am in the flow of photography.
The good thing about photography for me is that you get a closer look for that what is happening around you, wether it is a beetle on a leaf or a behavior of some people around you.
In future I certainly want to improve my photography skills.
The rest of my free time I am play the trumpet in our school Big Band and our orchestra.
I would really like to hear from you if I am the who is allowed to go with you on a trip to Bhutan. Wow Bhutan. Since I saw a presentation about Asia by Steve McCurry I hardly want to go there.
With best regards,
