✨ Welcome 2026 – Grateful, Grounded & Ready to Soar ✨
2025 flew by way too fast — but what an incredible year it was.
Through the highs and the hard moments, my parents and my girlfriend Sylvia were my absolute rocks. Their love, support, and belief in me carried me through challenging times. I love them with my whole soul and feel deeply grateful to have them in my life.
Professionally, 2025 was a year of real growth and achievement. Working with Pfisterer products led to great results and milestones I’m truly proud of — proof that dedication and teamwork pay off.
Not all memories are easy. This year I had to say goodbye to two great friends, my cats Diezel II and Sniper. Their loss left a quiet space behind, and they will always be part of my story.
Thankfully, life continues with warmth and energy. My dog Yaz and cat Wodan are still by my side, ready to help make 2026 a year to remember.
Photography is gaining momentum like never before. Creativity is flowing, passion is growing, and the journey is far from finished.
The 200 bird species list is getting close — only 29 species to go — and every new sighting feels like a small victory.
Down below you find the final list.
Behind the scenes, big improvements were made as well. Thanks to my new hosting provider Cloud86 (https://www.cloud86.io
), my website is faster, more stable, and running better than ever.
