I am a freelance photojournalist/documentary photographer from Vienna, Austria and I am currently doing a 6-months internship at the renowned photo agency Magnum Photos in their New York City office.
During the last four years I've been earning my living through graphic-design. Yes, I am good at it but it's more or less just a way of earning money. My passion is photography.

I am following the work of Magnum photographers for quite a few years now and it has always been kind of a dream to work with them one day. Following a strong commitment from my side and an invitation to Magnum Photos in June 2004, I got this great chance to do an internship in New York. I hope to get an excellent insight into the working processes at Magnum as well as the methods of its associated photographers.
My girlfriend and family support me in such a great way. It has not been a problem to leave Vienna for half a year. So I decided to start a weblog for this time posting notes from my daily life as well as current photos. Kind of an online diary.

Since I knew that I wanted to use the time in NYC to work on new stories beside my time at Magnum I stared to think if I couldn't even get more out of this stay...
I then sat down and wrote a concept for my project. During the course of this project I will take appr. 15.000 photos on various topics. A selection of photos are published on this Weblog.

Canon Europe was kind enough to support my project with a high-class digital SLR equipment. This is my first time shooting digital. Going digital for my project was the perfect decision. It supports me in shooting whatever and wherever I want to. Read a bit more about my sponsor and the equipment further down this page.

If you'd like to support me as well, please spread the word about this photoblog or send me an e-mail. I am very thankful for visitors to this site!
