A blog where Florian tries to post one photo per day.
Balcony Rosemary still life. Can you tell I didn't get outside much to take photographs? Anyway, pretty happy we finally got some rain today.
This blog now supports WebSub. After talking about it a couple of days ago at the Homebrew Website Club, Daniel today published a post about how he implemented WebSub (thanks!), so I did the same!
Observing shadows on the playground. Photos from a couple of days ago, since I didn't take any interesting ones today.
View from the Zentralbibliothek Düsseldorf (public library) where I attended Homebrew Website Club earlier today.

Watching graffiti practice for a bit after school.
I took exactly three images today. The one above, while waiting for a traffic light to turn green. I've taken this route during my (our) commute so many times, and some of the lights are incredibly anti-cyclist/-pedestrian because they take forever to turn, even with no cars around. This particular one is one of the worst, especially because you can clearly see very far ahead. I can't wait to teach them when it is ok to cross a red light. (In a couple of years.)
We did some rearranging of the furniture at home today. Moved a bed and a couch and a play kitchen, so the girls have their own room now. TBD if they will actually sleep there on their own. 🤞 Went outside for a walk with Lumi right before bed, which is when I took the image above.
Went to the indoor swimming pool first thing in the morning, then a family visit and a late breakfast (lunch?) at the fırın (Turkish bakery). I also took lots of images today, so I'll just share a couple of them.
Hop on board! We recently removed the remaining child seat in favor of a seamless bench. Also, since the weather is so nice, we left the roof at home. (At least for now. I am sure I jinxed it now and it will be pouring down all summer long.)
Didn't have much time to take photos today, so my recent go-to it is.
Supermarket sushi break.
Something I did not anticipate when I created this blog was that it would inspire others to do the same. My reason for starting it was to take more photographs – and more regularly. I myself was inspired by others as well. Most memorable is probably Daily Dose of Imagery from back in the day. (And many more, all of whom have since stopped posting.) Being that inspiration for someone else now is kind of incredible! So thanks to everyone who let me know and especially for sharing your photos on your own corner of the web – and not on Instagram. We need more of that! Anyway: Check out Kevin's fresh new photo blog (RSS feed coming soon).
Feather. Photo from yesterday's visit to Gruga.
In other news the full gallery of beyond tellerrand 2025 in Düsseldorf is finally live. 🙌 Got some lovely feedback already. Thank you so much for your kind words!
Spent four hours in Gruga this morning with the little one. (Kita was out today.) We had the park pretty much to ourself for the first two hours. Tried my hand on some panning shots. Quite hard to do in this particular case, because the zip line was not only going from left to right, but also bobbing up and down along the way. Got three "in-focus" images from about 30 shots. 🤷♂️ Practice makes perfect I guess.
That was the best part of the day. When we were ready to leave, we found that the bike had a flat tire. 🤬 All plans I had for the rest of the day (e.g., getting some work done and releasing the beyond tellerrand gallery) were out the door at this point. The bike is critical for getting us anywhere during the day, so it had to be fixed right away. At least I got that done.
Roses in the backyard.
Went to the office for some quiet time to work on the final selection of my beyond tellerrand images earlier today. Not long now, almost done. 👀
The day started with a trip to the indoor swimming pool. Then we went to a cemetery, to lay down some flowers at the grave of one of Ulya's friend's mom, who died very unexpectedly last week. (The image above was taken inside that cemetery. It reminded me more of a (wild) park. Quite the nice place for a final rest.) Then we went grocery shopping for the week and then I slept for three hours on the couch.
One hundred posts in a row was yesterday. Time flies.
Observing light and shadow. Still not done with the wrapped trade fair building, although when I came by a second time today, they started to tear the wrapping down.
A collection of people taking photographs/using cameras at beyond tellerrand.
I just had a look at the stats and relized that this marks post number 1.600, which sounds absolutely crazy to me. 🤯
Obligatory elevator selfie. Same spot as last year. (It was warmer then.) Anyway, back to work today, though I managed to get a little bit of editing time in for the btconf photos. Hope I'll have them ready early next week. 🤞
Some of my favorite images from day two at beyond tellerrand 2025 in Düsseldorf. Speakers were Matthias Ott, Gustavo Ferrari, Cyd Stumpel, Vitaly Friedman, Amber Case and Sharon Steed. Thank you Marc for having me. It was lovely as always. ❤️ The full gallery will be available soon, so stay tuned.
Fantastic day one at beyond tellerrand 2025 in Düsseldorf. Here are a couple of my favorite images from today feat. speakers Paula Zuccotti, Léonie Watson, Jason Pamental, Martina Flor, Brendan Dawes and Gavin Strange.
Made it to Düsseldorf for beyond tellerrand. Looking forward to two days of inspiring talks – and of course some documentary photography! 🙌
Late evening practice drive for Ulya. (She's ready!) Took some photos along the way.
Idk, this building in its wrapping somehow fascinates me. Also I drive by here every morning and the light looked interesting.
It was a public holiday here in Germany today and the weather was great, so we spent lots of time in the backyard. Photo from yesterday.
Observing color.
I've been thinking about adding an archive to this here blog. I still need to do some more thinking…
Third and (most likely) final post with images from Sunday's visit to the Tetraeder.
Daniel and I visited the Tetraeder in Bottrop today. Dedicated photography time! 🥹 I only took the Leica and the 35mm – I usually like to keep my choices to a minimum. I had been here only once before three years ago, but it definitely won't be the last time. It is such an interesting structure and we spent at least two hours up there. Definitely a challenge for anyone with a fear of heights.
I'll spread the photos over a couple of days, which will make my life a bit easier this coming week. 🙂
I took over a hundred photos of her making soap bubbles on the balcony today. ❤️
