A pile of Project 366 zines (part IV) on my desk

What a nice surprise! Expected them to arrive next week, but here they are! I think, I need to buy a couple more envelopes to send them out, but hopefully I'll get it done before the week is over! So nice to hold the full set in my hands, a year's worth of work.

Took a small detour after dropping of the bike for its yearly checkup – which I could probably do this myself, but I don't really enjoy tinkering with the bike, so… Anyways, I never went on top of this parking lot before. Interesting view, shapes and contrasts.

We went ice skating today. Way too crowded on a Sunday for my taste, but both kids made some progress dispite the packed rink. And they had fun, which is the most important thing. πŸ™‚ I think its time the little one gets her own pair of inline skates, so we can practice anywhere! (Also these rental skates are horrendously uncomfortable. On the street I can wear my own skates!)

Empty collective.ruhr office

Two post in one day?! Well, I just felt like sharing the issues that I ran into with my 27mm pancake lens. You see, it has been acting up recently. When I turn on the camera, with that particular lens attached, I get a "Turn camera off and on again" warning. It happened sporadically over the last couple of weeks, but unfortunately it is now rendered completely unusable. It seems the motor is stuck…? At least that's what it sounds like, when I turn on the camera. I decided to send it to Fujifilm repair services to get it looked at. Hence a visit to the very empty office on a Saturday to print the required form to send along with the lens. Bummer, just when I finally got somewhat accustomed to the 40mm equivalent…

Another foggy morning (well, whole day actually).


I've been pretty wrapped up in work this week, making great progress with our picu plugin. Looking forward to hanging out with the family over the weekend. I hope the weather clears up for a bit so we cab spend some time outside. 🀞

A moody black and white urban scene at Gruga Park, featuring illuminated steps with built-in linear lighting. A glass-fronted building reflects bare winter trees, while a lone jogger runs through the fog in the background.

Love me a foggy morning.


Just ordered the final batch of the Project 366 zines (Part IV)! Can wait to send them along to the lovely people who ordered a copy. For the next project I added a log to the project page and I'll try to updated it regularly. 🀞

It's been a year and a half since we came here for Lumi's last riding lesson. Today it was Suvi's turn to figure out if this is something she wants to do once a week. The final verdict is still out, but the fact that it is a 20 minute car ride to get here, is probably the reason she will decide against it. She really hates being in a car. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Everytime I walk over this bridge I take an image. I repeat myself most of the time, but sometimes I find a fresh angle, or the light hits differently.


The project 366 zine part IV is done! I uploaded it to Blurb a few days ago. I'll send out a newsletter about it tomorrow. If you are interested in getting a copy make sure to subscribe!

Abstract, long-exposure photograph taken early in the morning, capturing streaks of light in various colors. The predominant colors are yellow, blue, and white light trails that create curved and zigzagging patterns against a dark background. The effect creates a dynamic, almost chaotic composition that suggests movement through an urban environment.

This was a mistake. But I kinda like the outcome. First exposure of the day.

Watching the fireworks from the balcony on New Year's Eve. Just imported some images from this week. I like this one very much and remembered that, since finishing the 366 project, I no longer have to adhere to any rules when it comes to posting images. 😊

Shooting video for a change.


Welcome back! Happy 2025! Still not feeling super well, but we needed to get some family business done today (hence the shooting of video). Regarding the 366 project I posted a short recap on the other blog. Also: Bluesky favorites will now be displayed below next to the Mastodon likes.

Monochrome image of my daughter peaking inside the raclette machine

Is it ready yet? We had raclette for the last dinner of 2024. Unfortunately we couldn't get together with the neighbors as we had originally planned, because they are sick as well. Bets are still open whether Suvi will be awake at midnight. I said before, that I consider it a super power to sleep through the fireworks.


And just like that, this concludes the 366 project I started on January 1st. 😱 I'll post a little bit about my takeaways soon, but right now, I just want to say thank you to everyone that followed along – and especially to the fine people, that bought a zine this year. ❀️ It felt amazing sending those out all over the world! The final edition (part IV) will be out in January. No post tomorrow. πŸ₯Ί


Have a great 2025. Happy New Year! ✨

Still not feeling great. Made it out of the house for a little bit, though. Took a picture of my family inspecting some random stuff people put out on the street. My wife usually finds something β€žusefulβ€œ – much to my dismay. πŸ˜‚ As if we didn't have enough β€žstuffβ€œ already. But I digress. Tomorrow will be the final post of the 366 project. The year long journey will find its end. I have no clue what I will photograph. There is no preconceived concept to any of this, so I guess it will be random, just like all the other days before. πŸ™‚

Monochrome image of a flat tire on a caravan

Deflated. Made it out of the house for a short walk – and right back to bed.


Thought I had some time to reflect, but I spent yesterday (and most of today) in bed, and really didn't feel like sitting down in front of a computer to write down my thoughts. Maybe tomorrow. I have two post left. 😱

View out the kitchen window. I did not go outside today, because I am sick. It's actually a wonder this didn't happen sooner, as both kids have been running around with the sniffles for weeks… oh well. Hope it is over quickly. 🀞

Black and white architectural photo showing a building's upper story with dormer windows and a prominent octagonal turret, set against dramatic cirrus clouds in the sky.

Out and about with the family, enjoying the nice weather. Can't believe the year is almost over. Started to write my project 366 wrap-up post, but I am not really sure what to say. Only four (!) posts left after this one.

Followed the Wichtelpfad (β€žgnome pathβ€œ) in the woods today. One of the displays looked like a gnome coworking space. 😊

A black and white photo of a dinner table centered on a sliced Linzer torte. The formal place settings include rimmed plates and cutlery, with a lit candle and holiday decorations visible in the background. The scene is set on a striped tablecloth, creating an elegant, festive atmosphere.

Off to enjoy my mum's culinary delights for a couple of days.

Shiny jackets from little visitors.


Next time the kid has a birthday we are not talking about it on the days leading up to it: I took the first picture at 5:31 AM today. 😡 Still had a great day. 😊 Can't believe she is five already.

Monochrome image of my daugther, sitting on the window sill, looking out the window into the backyard, where a worker is cutting a a tree into pieces with a chainsaw

A tree was cut down in your backyard today. Suvi was really sad about it. The landscape gardener explained to us that the tree was infected by a fungus and would most likely have come down on its own during the next storm – and possibly in the direction of the house.


Even though these pictures have a sad vibe to them – and I just took them today, I already know they will be among my favorites from this year.

The graffiti practice wall was shooting back today. Only two weeks left! 😱


Felt good to send out more project 366 zines today! This reminds me that I should advertise the newsletter a bit more: So if you are interesed in owning one or all of the zines, subscribe and I'll let you know once they become available.

Watched Die Hard with the boys tonight. (As previously announced.) Tim had never seen it before 🀯, which was fun! He gave it 4 out of 5 stars. (A solid 5 for me!) Couldn't decide between the two most iconic scenes, so I photographed both.
