Thinking about removing the social media integration from my photo blog. 🤔 Not sure it adds anything meaningful to be honest. Don’t get me wrong: I currently enjoy using Mastodon and the interactions there, but I enjoy direct conversations (mostly via email) with people that I follow or people that follow me (mostly via RSS) much more!

Ok, I took one digital photo at our Landschaftspark outing.
🎬 Black Swan
Enjoyed this once more. All the characters are great and so well acted. (And good job in casting both Natalie Portman and Winona Ryder, two actresses I occasionally confuse anyway.) It has just the right amount of supernatural elements. And I was reminded how much I like the music from Swan Lake.
Last saturday, I spent a lovely day photographing at Landschaftspark Duisburg with Florian. I can’t share my film photos so quickly, but he can share his - and did. Check it out:

I though, I try my hand on a monthly recap post. I enjoy reading other’s posts (eg. Jasper's) so, why not?

New Rules
Since finishing the 366 project I have not been posting regularly to the photo blog. It’s kinda nice, not having that pressure, but then again, feels kinda lazy not to post anything. I love posting there! So I decided to create some new rules. Here they are:
Post daily
All...
🎬 Wild at Heart
Very violent. Very sexy. Very funny. Very suspenseful. Very sweet. Very quirky. Surprisingly metal. Very nose-y. Very entertaining.
Dern and Cage are just fantastic. And so is Dafoe. And everyone else too, to be honest.
About calling your photography “work”: I mostly agree with Cedric's post, though I think sometimes calling it work also can give it special meaning, as in “I put some special effort into this”. I think of it more in terms of “I worked hard on this”, without it becoming my work (as in profession or obligation). I wholeheartedly agree that photography should spark joy and you should do it for yourself first and foremost.
I want to compile a list of people doing a 365 photo project, preferable if they use their own blog to do so. Other platforms (Mastodon, Pixelfed, Glass) are fine, too, as long as I am able to follow via RSS/Atom. So if you are doing a project yourself or know of a project, let me know! Please share for more reach. 🙂
Aaand it's done: No more FB! Now WhatsApp. Already started texting people about alternatives (Signal). This might take a little longer, though.
Quick update on the Linux experiment: I think I have everything up and running to get my day to day work done. What I am missing most so far is Tower, but I am slowly getting used to the VS Code Git integration or just using the terminal.

Just deleted my Instagram account. (Yesterday I already closed my Threads account.) I am currently waiting for my Facebook data download (how is this taking so long?) and then I will close this account as well. Now, moving away from WhatsApp will be a bit more complicated. I’ll have to tell a couple of people to install Signal.

🎬 School of Magical Animals 3
Ähnlich wie Teil 2: wieder ganz gute Songs, mit einer unterhaltsamen uns sympathischen Geschichte. Vielleicht mehr was für junge Teenager, aber der Tochter hat's gefallen und somit hatte ich auch Spaß. :)
🎬 School of Magical Animals 2
Nettes Wohlfühlkino. Gute Songs. Tochter happy. Was will man mehr!?
Went ice skating with the family today. The kids were hungry so we went into the little snack bar. When my wife asked what kind of meat the sausages were, the answer was a proud “Pork, of course! We are in Germany after all!” 🤦♂️
We didn’t buy any pork sausages.
