Yesterday I finished my 366 project. 🙌
It feels very strange not posting today! (It’s not that I haven’t taken any photographs… 🤔)
Yesterday I ordered 853 small format prints from my Aile project. As we didn’t visit Turkey last year, and most likely won’t be able to do so this year either, I thought this longer break might be a good marker to finally start working on this project again. I would love to create a photo book, but in order to do so, I have to live with the work, and that is much easier done with physical prints than with images on a screen.

Nearing the end with my photos from 2023.
Photos from the Alpeninferno plus some random shots.
🎶 "When it comes to killing zombies, I'm at the top of my game…" 🎶
Very entertaining and funny musical zombie film. Good songs – I enjoyed the one cited above, the "filthy" one, and the "brand new day" – some good kills, likeable characters, and just a great sense of humour. The whole scene with the snow man is bloody golden.
Not all is perfect – partly the makeup, the effects; and towards the end it loses a bit of tempo – but overall this was a very worthwhile christmas movie.
The kills in this were partly quite nice. But it's always about the eyeballs. I would've enjoyed some more kill-variety. But apart from this, this lacked suspense. And I think it was unnecessary to uncover all of Billy's backstory. This also reminded me of Scream – which I liked – but all characters in this were unlikeable IMO. Little bit of an annoying one.
This was good! And I was quite surprised of the crude language. I didn’t think everything in the plot made sense, but it was still anentertaining watch. And it must be one of the first (horror) movies thatfeatures the telephone-spiel and the Killer-POV shots.
Eh, no. It's not like this was all bad. But there's absolutely zero backstory to the approaching apocalypse, that fog looked awful, and the characters were all well over the top. And this would've been fine, if the movie decided to go all in on its funny side. But it also had this seriousness. And this was all confusing IMO.
Nice atmospheric middle age murder story. Great characters, great acting, great makeup, great setting, great fog.
The protagonist is like an anti James Bond: no action, no talking, no sex, no drama. And he still gets the job done. And the movie still manages to be suspenseful and entertaining despite all the "missing" bits. The end left me a little confused, but other than that, this was ace. Jarmusch just makes movies I like.
This also has a brilliant music scene with flamenco guitar playing, -dancing and -singing. And it's probably all done while the camera was rolling. I can rarely tolerate music not matching the instrument on camera, but this was the exact opposite. Kudos!
And I enjoyed the soundtrack, too.

Another one!
We went to the middle age market again. And our group of friends filmed a music video as a birthday present one afternoon.
Another one!
Photos from the hospital, Zoe's birthday, and a fat cat.
The 366 zines (part II and III) arrived yesterday! 🎉 Unfortunately half of them are not up to the quality that one can expect. I already contacted Blurb customer service and will hopefully get this resolved quickly. Not worried, as I had similar issues before and Blurb handled it exemplary every time. My guess is that they were (are?) quite overwhelmed with Black Friday / Christmas orders. I’ll sign and ship the good half on Saturday. 🙌
The latest photojournal entry has been out for a few days.
Zoe's first day at school. I went photographing with Florian at Zeche Zollverein in Essen. It was my mum's birthday. Saw Gatecreeper and Converge live in Dortmund with Bernd and Fred. We went to a horse race. And Bernd and I went on a multiday hike in Austria, where I broke my arm.
