It’s holiday time! Spend our first day in Milan. There might be more travel photography here in the next days. Or maybe not. Because I’m on holiday!

🎬 Father Mother Sister Brother
letterboxd.com/danielpietzsch/film/father-mother-sister-brother/
A lovely film about the relationships between parents and their kids, and some of the different ways this can go. It’s really not happening much. But I don’t know; Jarmusch always entertains me. And having three movies in one is fantastic: you can just spot all those little details and similarities among them without “having” to watch another one of his films. So, mix all the Jarmusch ingredients, multiply by three, serve them on a single plate, and Bob’s your uncle!
👍 Recommended!
🎬 Basic Instinct
I sure have watched this back in the day. But I couldn’t remember much. And I certainly did not see the uncut version. Anyhow, this was suspenseful and sexy and psycho with a great story. Reminded me quite a bit of Hitchcock. And it has just the right amount humour. Loved all the car chases. And Sharon Stone’s character and acting is just perfect.
👍 Recommended!
🎬 Mission: Impossible
So, I finally got to see that famous vault scene where Tom Cruise hovers over the ground. And that scene was indeed very cool. But overall, I found this to be a little boring. Maybe because I found the premise to be quite low-stakes, especially in relation to how many people of their internal force are sacrificed. And the end action sequence is ridiculous.

Colourful, frozen,
fragmentary, ephemeral frames,

Heavy as self.
Poems as wayfinding
When I look at a painting, or read a poem, or a story, I feel like I am entering a new world, one created by the artist, the writer, to evoke a particular feeling, to highlight something meaningful, to document a moment, and for many other reasons too.
I love the feeling of...
Morning, sunrise
The horizon is painted with a cool, warm glow. The sun has not yet risen; the hills are its blanket. The sky is a clear blue.
I woke up earlier than normal this morning. I find myself writing while gazing out the window, watching the sun rise, its light filling the room, il...

Auld Faithful
A few weeks ago, the phrase "old faithful" came to me. I thought "that would be a good name for a ship!" This evening, I decided to do something with the name. I had an idea for a direction, but the story went in a completely different direction than I thought. I ended up wr...
The sound of writing

How can creative practitioners publish on the web today? Options, pitfalls, and trade-offs
I just published a long essay on a question that nagged me for years. I always felt that more creatives should run their own self-hosted websites — but I was never sure I was right. So I examined every option as objectively as I could, with its real advantages and pitfalls, so readers can reach their own conclusions!
