Big and small news from 2013

Seems like I haven't been here for long, so I thought it might be time to write a short udpate ;)

Big news first:
I have finished my bachelor studies in Information Technologies  at the Alpe-Adria University in early April 2013 with my thesis: Kerf Data Checker - A Tool To Improve The Process Of Kerf Generation & Mask Layout at the Lithography department of Infineon Austria in Villach, where I'm still working part time for 20hrs/week till at least end of September this year!



And secondly:
I have decided to do a bit of stock photography. Starting at the end of last year with Shutterstock, iStock and Fotolia.

You can find my portfolios by clicking on the links below:

I have now nearly 100 images online in sum at all these 3 agencies and my top seller is my NYC Sky View photo, which has been downloaded more than 170 times since I started and it was also my first photo I uploaded on Shutterstock.

Oh, right, I also forgot to mention, that I have been in New York City last year from May 28th - June 4th, after my 25th birthday, which was really a great experience. Won this one-week trip in a contest sponsored by Microsoft, Austrian Airlines and Bene. Thanks a lot for that. You can find a selection of photo also in one of the albums on my Flickr Portfolio.

Future plans are:
  • Enlarging my portfolios
  • Starting studies again in autumn and
  • Finishing my master studies at least in 2016, though I'm not that motivated right now :)
Gonna visit Salzburg for some days in early August, as I won a 3-night stay in a photo contest of the AllYouNeed Hotels.
