My Words

Seriously does the world need another blog? Yes!

Hi,
My Name is Martin Stypinski and my close friends call me Styp and for this reason I have choosen this domain for my creative space. For a long time I wanted to share my pictures with more people and make them enjoy a piece of my story. For too long the pictures were just taken and then stored on my harddrive. Only a few ot them made it into a frame.

Hi, I’m Martin

Right now, I am pursuing a masters degree at the University of Applied Sciences in Rapperswil Switzerland in computer science. Until recently, I worked and studied as a software engineer but for this term I took a break from working in order to experience a term abroad. My bachelors degree in computer science was focused on software engineering because I really enjoy creating things and helping people make their daily lifes more and more automated. I have this passion for solving problems, less so for staring into a flat screen. I believe life has more to offer than 24 inch and that an engineering degree gives you the ability for structured problem solving. It is much more than just a skill set you need to have in order to presue a daily job as an engineer. At the moment I am in Trondheim Norway enjoying an Erasmus term until summer 2017. For now I am just looking forward to this amazing time in Norway.

What is this blog about

This blog is meant to be a story telling plattform in pictures. If you enjoy reading it, please feel free to comment – I am grateful for every single comment and everybody who supports me. I want to tell my story in just a few little words and share the moment when it ‘clicked’. Pictures will dominate as I love documentary style photography that need not many words to explain its context. Having this blog is also a good way of reminding me to shoot in busy times and just relax and create some unique content. In the end the picture tells the story, but the story has to be lived to be told.

Are you out of your mind, we really have to read this in English?

Yes! I am strong believer in the 10’000 hours rule. Practice till perfect – this means you have to ‘enjoy’ my dodgy English while I am trying to get better. Seriously, with a few English lines I can practice my writing and also reach a broader audience – win win situation. I will be able to share my perspective on the world with both my German-speaking friends and everyone else I met over the last few years in many corners of this planet.

Honestly, lets just start it – the vision is clear and I just want tell you this story! [Read more]
