Hey there everyone,
i hope you all survived the winter and start to get some much appreciated spring weather by now.
Here not much has changed, work still goes on and i´m starting to accept that with all that is going on I have to settle on being a weekend warrior when it comes to photography. But then again it gives me some purpose and helps me with my big goal of changing my general lifestyle to a more healthy one. Those photo hikes on saturday morning are a good way for that at least, i´d say

.
By the time of writing this here it is only 63 days until my big highlight of the year which is returning to Oregon for a whopping two weeks. I´m in full preparation mode by now, finding more and more spots to visit while being there. So i guess you guys can expect a lot by mid-june and of course in the time inbetween too

.
Now why i really wanted to write this journal update (except that i haven´t updated it in 3 months) is to try and introduce myself a tiny bit more again

.
I figured that you can always find out a lot about a person by the music they´re listening to, so here´s an alphabetical list of 100 songs yours truly likes and has a biographic connection to in some way. Just go look for those songs on youtube yourself (I`m not doing all the work for you

) and if you want to know about a particular song (there are some german ones in there too after all) dont hesitate to ask me

So that´s that,
journal update done
Take care and stay awesome
Daniel
