All the psychos in the world can't bring me down!

About Me

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.

My pics can be found at Black Cat Net . My portfolios can be found at Vorndranphotography and at my Fotocommunity account.

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]
