About Journal Of A Photographer

Journal Of A Photographer is a blog about photography and photojournalism. I am sharing my experiences, endeavours, adventures, successes as well as failures in the world of photography and how it works out for me to give up a career in Austria and pursue a career as a photographer in New York City.

You’ll find pretty much anything on here that interests me or that I think about, mostly related to photography, journalism and moving to another country. At times you will find articles that will be full of overflowing self-confidence and full of self-pity and insecurity at other times. Or you’ll just get a two in one package. Whatever it might be, I’ll try to be as honest as possible. I hope you’ll enjoy!
