About Me


~ABOUT:: Caroline Traitler~
in a few words: photographer, online editor, music journalist, music freak, wanna be poet :P , traveller...
dreamer in a dreamers land: I admit, I am a dreamer but I live my dreams, going above all things that might stand in my way... Its not always easy but I learned to be strong and believe in what I can do and reach... Sometimes I am too sensitive, sometimes too careless cause I just dream away but at the end it is just me in this world of mine, surrounded by the wonders of this world, the wonders of nature, the images in my head that I try to catch in my pictures and by dear souls, new and old friends... feeling complete in the arms of the one I love... And when I love its strong and real and true... Its like everything I live, I live it with passion!
facts: I'm a girl from Austria, working as online editor for a tourist company in Innsbruck, originally from Vienna and travelling around a lot. I am a photographer for metal bands and work for the german webzine www.powermetal.de (one of the biggest metal webzines in Germany), the austrian webzine www.stormbringer.at and the dutch printmag FURY and also do freelance works for other mags sometimes... Taking pictures at shows and writing reviews for them. I studied journalism and love to write but my passion is photography.
images and creations: I love the unusual things, movement, expression, passion and keeping these feelings in my photography... Strong image contrasts, different views, a creative vision celebrated in a picture... If you want to work with me just contact me, I am open for all kind of photographic ideas, the crazier the better ;-)
~PHOTOPIT.com:: IN THE EYES OF MUSIC~
I live for music and photography, this is my passion and I love to keep the moment of music in my pictures, the feeling you have when you see the band, the lights and love for music...
If you have any questions concerning photography and equipment please check my F.A.Q
what you can get: livepics, bandphotography, promotional pictures and photoshootings, portraits, tour- , rehearsal- and studio-documentaries, black and white photography, nature photography (for artwork use for example)...

________________

If you could move the world with the shine of your eyes
Oceans would collide with every land
And deserts would find a way to mountains of ice
If you could light a way with the warmth of your heart
Every dark corner would glow in the sun
And every frightening thought would silently fall apart
And I know that you shine within me
And every smile, every thought I touch with you
Can find his path in darkest lands
Will move a world with our energy
[C.T. December 07]

________________

DISLIKES: hypocrites, playing with peoples friendship, arrogance, groupies, false people talking shit behind your back, people believing in what others say about you before even asking you what happened (damn how I hate that! you can fuck off), fascist behaviours, war, violence (specially against children and animals), rudeness, money problems (arrgh), queues, very crowded places and masses of people, mushrooms, fur, meat, cold, winter, snow, getting up early, dumb music (Volksmusik, Gangsta Rap, Böhse Onkelz = shit for my ears!), dentists, tequilla, the smell of cigarettes on my clothes and my hair, bad smells of people, stress, german airports (why do they have to be sooo über-strikt on every little shitty rule, I dont get it...), typical closed minded behaviour, people who think that I am not normal because I dont want kids (fuck that, I am facing that more and more the older I get and I simply dont understand why they cant respect my choice?), some people in my family (fucking hate you! and I dont hate many people...), mud at festivals, girls who think random flirting/sex makes a relationship (naive, wake up!), stupid application spam on myspace *lol*, guys who beat women (biggest losers on this planet!), musicians who cheat on their girlfriend with stupid groupies (lame shit!!!!)...

I'd like to meet:

people who have passion in their lives, who live their dreams and can make someone happy with just a smile... true hearts and honest souls who dont hide behind an ugly mask of egoism and hate. I am lucky I met people like that and I miss them a lot when they are not around... my friends and my love are the most precious things in my life and I am always happy to meet them again :)

--------------------

fascist and rassist people fuck off!

NO!!! I dont wanna do random conversation with people I dont know, I wont vote for your band if I dont know you, I wont allow any spam comments or advertisements on my page (unless you are real life friends hehe), I wont pass over your stupid chain mail and even less join your hug or whatever application, I wont answer again and again what equipment I use since its written on my page here anyway, I wont listen to your band just because I like band xyz and if a band adds me dont expect me to listen to your songs cause I just cant listen to every band that wants to add me... If your stuff is good I will find it sooner or later anyway ;) I dont answer every message, so if u come and rant about it, its ur problem and waste of energy and above all I hate smalltalk so u will rarely find me answering a message like "hi how are you" . And I am bored of the "thanx for the add" messages... come ooon, its not original ;)
