A blog where Florian tries to post one photo per day.
Another day at the beach. We had some light rain, but nothing our beach tents couldn't handle!
I am in the process of finalizing the images for the 10th anniversary zine! It is currently at 132 pages and 90+ photos, which span across the last (first) 10 years of this here blog. I started writing a little preamble today, a short intro. Not sure this is something others are interested in having. If so – let me know!
Spent another day at the beach. (I could get used to that!) Loved the light and the colors today, thus – a color post. 🤷♂️ I brought some more gear on this trip – as in a couple of longer lenses – because, why not?! No need to travel light, when going by car – but I haven't taken that much equipment in a long time. Usually it's down to one or two prime lenses and that's it. Happy I made that choice.
Vacation has officially started. 🥳 We made it to another ocean (after 21 weeks). The weather forecast for the coming week is not super great, but I take it – it was dry long enough. And some clouds in the sky make for more dramatic images anyway! Looking forward to an easy photo blogging week. 😊
I intend to make a picture of the ocean tomorrow. Not today, though. Today it's a parking garage.
Parasol.
Ass.
Movie Night! We watched The Last Samurai. Hiroyuki Sanada eats up every scene he's in.
Presented without comment.
Spent the day at our friends' house. Brought leftovers from yesterday's party and dipped into the pool in the backyard.
Observing light and shadow by the wayside. Image from this morning's quick trip to the grocery store.
Housewarming went great. People brought so much food! Didn't take a single image, was too busy socializing. I guess that is a good thing! 🙂
There was a dude on top of A41 today.
Really second guessing myself with these photos recently. What is the point? I need to find time to make more photographs. I have often talked about intentionality, but recently it has been mostly just capturing anything that looks vaguely interesting and hoping that I at least have something at the end of the day. That is not why I created this blog. So I guess, I'll either manage to carve out more time for taking photographs or I'll drag something out of the archive that I am proud of. (I am not quitting the blog!) Looking very much forward to travelling at the end of next week. This will make this some much easier. Can't wait!
Observing light and shadow. Didn't even need to leave the house for today's image. 🤷♂️
We have a housewarming party coming up. Maybe I'll make some portraits if people are willing to play along.
Short evening walk.
Watched this nice video about the #fuji 35mm 1.4 lens, which is probably my favorite Fuji lens (the 56mm 1.2 is very close, though) – but not enough to get a tattoo of its lens diagram. 😆
Climbing.
Relacing her shoes. (Had the ISO set to 12.800 accidentally for almost the whole day 🙄, but I didn't shoot that many images anyway.)
I finally found some time to work on the 10th anniversary zine. Still not sure I'll be able to finish or release it, but I sure would love to. Thinking about a different format for a change. (Maybe A5?) I selected around 100 images, more or less one for each month of blogging since August of 2016. It will be a very loose sequence of photographs. Not sure whether I want to put them in chronological order, or find something else. Writing something with the images feels daunting and so much work. I'll need to wrap my head around this and soon.
Great morning at Gruga with the girls. I took lots of images, mostly of them, but also some around the park. On our way back we saw the German term Gänsemarsch (walking in single file) perfectly demonstrated by at least two dozen geese. Their procession was pretty funny to watch.
Movie night. We watched Civil War. Very intense. Made me think of the James Nachtwey documentary I saw a long time ago. Need to find it and watch it again. The family and I also went to IKEA earlier in the day. It rained.
Braces obtained.
Back at the office today.
Not sure I've ever seen a praying mantis outside of a terrarium before today. (Second image taken with the phone, because wrong lens (for macro photos) on the proper camera…)
The old brewery in Leimen, from inside the courtyard. There's a restaurant there, were we celebrated my dad's birthday yesterday. (This one from two years ago was taken from across the street.)
Short break at the rest area. Poor Suvi hates driving, she always gets carsick, so getting out of the car every hour or so is mandatory. I don't enjoy it either. I didn't mind driving long distances when I was younger (😏), but now I am just annoyed how bad everyone else is driving. I wish taking the train (short notice) wasn't so incredibly expensive compared to taking the car.
Totally forgot that I had taken a couple of images today, when I just remembered that I had to post something here. Taken on my way home from the office. This particular construction site is really annoying and there's no end in sight. At least I can ride around it on the sidewalk. So glad I don't need a car for my commute. I wonder if they'll fix the massive pothole in the street, while they're at it. Kinda wish they wouldn't.
Not feeling it lately – the photo blogging, I mean. But I am pushing through. There will be brighter days with more motivation ahead, there always are. Lots of the same recently, same schedule, same streets, I need a change of scenery.
A tree. That's the post.
Went to the flower shop today (it is open on Sundays), which happens to be right across from the local airfield. Spotted the airship.
