🎬 Broken Flowers
In my quest to watch every Jim Jarmusch movie at least once, I finally got to see this one. And this didn't disappoint either. The whole premise of a Don Juan type character, named Don Johnston - played by Bill Murray - on an adventure to find of which of is ex-girlfriends send him a mysterious letter, telling him about a now 19-year old son he didn't know about. His neighbour - who, with a wife, 5 kids, and 3 jobs, is the exact opposite of the Don - excitingly planned the whole trip for him and gives him advise throughout the quest. All those characters and situations are hilarious. And it was fun to notice all those parallels to Jarmusch's other movies - particularly Ghost Dog.
🎬 Ms .45
A rape revenge story set in 70s/80s NY. Sounded good, looked great, interesting characters and plot. Good one!
🎬 Barbarella
A classic I’ve not seen before. I wouldn’t say one has to know this, but it definitely doesn’t hurt. And I was very much enjoying myself, especially with those "Mondo Bizzarr"-audience at the cinema. The plot is more like a series of scetches and the dialogue is rather peculiar at times, but honestly, everything is so silly and over the top, it’s funny again. And all the sets and props are lovingly done. “Sieg der Liebe!”
I recently asked around for links to 365 photography projects and I got some feedback. (🙏 Thanks for that!)
I collected them on this page: https://florianziegler.com/365-projects
I am still looking for more projects. Please share if know any!
Just realized, since I have all the colors in CSS custom properties it is pretty easy to create new color schemes for the blog: How about hot pink, purple or jungle? (Reset to b/w with the theme switcher controls at the bottom. 👇)

Yiğit has written a lovely post about how I inspired him to start his photo blog! 🥹 We met at WordCamp Europe in Turin last year, although very briefly at a bus stop on our way home. Check out his blog, where he’s currently doing a 365 project. Oh, and he also has a stats page!
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:

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:
