About

BackflipThis blog is supposed to be a showcase for stuff I do in my free time. My Name is Thomas Novotny, I was born in 1987 and live in Vienna, Austria.

I have quite some Interests, which include:

Drawing
It’s a nice and relaxing thing to do, and I love how alot of personality flows into each drawing.

le Parkour
Doing it for about 2 Years now (not in winter though, because weather here makes it almost impossible then).
I love it because it’s non-competitive, gives me alot of challenges and is fun to do!

Freestyle Acrobatics
Probably the most challenging of my Hobbies, I started doing it about a year ago. I have a hard time learning new tricks, always with the risk of injuries, but maybe that’s why I do it. Each training is it’s own challenge, but I’m not the one who gives up on half way! I want to do acrobatics and I do it!

It started in early 2007 when I bought my first digital SLR. It wasn’t long until I discovered what real photography was - capturing impressions and making them available to others instead of just taking cool pics of random stuff. I started to think about composition before taking each photo. I inherited alot of analog Cameras and Lenses (which I can also use on my digital SLR) from my Grandfather, who is dead already (I bet he would be so lucky to see me taking wonderful pictures with his equipment). With all this stuff I started doing analog photography too which has its own charme. Photography is comething I can constantly improve on, and good photos make people happy.

Animals
Of course, especially when they’re cute!

Australia
Totally interrested in Australia, been there in Feb. 08!

Slacklining
A friend told me about it not too long ago, and it’s great! I tried it once, bought a line the next day and trained almost everyday since then!
