so... this year is going to end and this is my little résumé of it...

my 2008 started in ras al khaimah, uae where I stayed two months to do some research for my thesis. (after a nice barbecue in the dunes the year actually started with a pretty cool helicopter ride...).

After coming back it took some time getting started with really writing on my thesis, but after meeting some wonderful people in berlin at the ipernity meeting, I managed that motivational problem.

The next month were a bit tough, but I guess that's just how it is...

break these chains

... and I am such a lucky person to have a loving bf who's there for me...

he's there

All this finally had an end in july (i.e. the thesis - the bf is still there for me!!!). I still had a few sleepness nights and bad dreams, about the results then, but in the end I got "very good" marks and that stupid too-ambitious little man in my head was finally happy. (don't ask me what he's doing now... i bet he's buggering someone else now...)

To treat myself, I finally bought myself a DLSR from the money I got for my thesis and took my new baby on some trips the next weeks and months.

"when I'm grown-up, I wanna be…

and then a new phase of my life began: pretenting to be a grown-up, go to work everyday and earn money.(I actually enjoy the last part of it and just ordered a new lens...).

And I guess since then my stream got a little boring, since it's only nature-pics that I manage to take in the weekends or sometimes in the morning on my way to work. I also noticed that the last self-portrait I took is quite a while ago...

before the party

this weekend in the beginning of september was very, very special and I think I haven't felt so good as then... I guess I need to feel good to take self-shots... and as I do not really know if this job I am doing now is right for me, but at the same time have absolutely no idea what I wanna to instead, all I can do it take shots of beautiful nature-stuff (which is better because all the frowning and thinking doesn't make one exactly beautiful...)

für graue tage

well... at least for me that's something that I really enjoy and that makes me happy when I am outside and spot those nice, little things (and sometimes even the pictures of it turn out nicely...).

and so it got autumn and now winter and that's pretty much all that's happening. I imagine that's just another thing you have to accept when growing up...(or not...)

christmas morning #1

so that's it... and whoever got that far - and everybody else - I wish all the best in the new year!!
