A blog where Florian tries to post one photo per day.
Wrestling mega post. 🙌 I'll just add the rest of the images from last Wednesday in this one post. Next month I won't be able to make one of the dates, because I'll be in Berlin for beyond tellerrand (which I am very much looking forward to). But there are still two more Wednesday Heat dates left this year.
There'll probably be a couple more wrestling posts over the next few days, so strap in! 🙂 The images above, again, are all of a single match: Zoltan vs. Dieter Schwartz for the wXw Academy Championship.
I really need to figure out how to get in contact with these wrestlers. That was the only reason I kept my Instagram account for as long as I did. But since it is gone now, I need to find another way.
Wrestling! Went back to wXw Academy today for another "Wednesday Heat" – and this time, I got lots of keepers. Images above are just from the first match! I am back, baby!
More A41, more 56mm, not much else.
Yet another image of A41. I think I'll keep using the 56 for a while as it will allow for some different kinds of images during the daily commute and such. I love this lens so much.
Saw some equestrian vaulting with the girls today. Took the 56mm, made some horse portraits. 🙂
Went to Fujikina in Cologne today, where I met up with my dad. I had a great time checking out some Voightländer lenses (although not for Fuji but Leica 🫣) and listening to various talks. My favorites were Stefan Finger, who talked about some of his photo projects, and Joachim Schmeisser, who showed some amazing portraits of African wildlife.
Update: Forgot to post one image, that I am kinda proud of. 😂
Waiting for her sister's school day to end.
She got her own house key today.
Not much photo taking going on today, so… you know the drill.
Photo from my morning commute.
In other news: RIP Mr. Googly, he went out with a bang. Tears were plenty. 🥺 But we already bought a pack of new balloons…
Meet Mr. Googly.
Googly eyes are so cool. You can put them in so many places and make something fun. I'll make it a point to carry a bunch of them in my bag going forward.
Repotting plants.
I need to use the 56mm more often. It is such a fantastic lens.
We went to the pumpkin farm very early today. It was pretty packed by the time we were leaving. Always fun for the kids. There were lots of chickens to feed, hay bales to climb, and cake to eat.
Watching.
Thursday is the most stressful day of the week. Lots of commitments involving the kids, so I am constantly moving between places. In between, I still managed to finally get ahead with our picu PayPal integration – coming soon! 🙂
Not so successful shot of the flock.
Finally, another movie night. We watched Unstoppable. Denzel can't do wrong, although he didn't have that much to work with in this one. We still enjoyed ourselves even despite the pizza arriving when the movie was almost over. 🙂
Took the scooters out to Museum Folkwang today.
Went to buy two tiny cacti at Gruga's plant market today. In the photo you can see people resting in front of the graduation tower.
With all the hundreds of Gruga visits, we never managed to go up to the tower. I wonder if you actually still can… 🤔
Ah, so glad we got a weekend ahead!
Laundry still life.
Messe Essen during my commute.
My trusty everyday carry camera, the X-T5, completely froze this morning. I could still see through the viewfinder but no button presses were working, nor did the shutter. Removing the battery also didn't help! 😱 Only when I ejected both memory cards (and put them back in) did it work normally again. For a moment there, I thought it had died on me. 🥺
Abysmal weather today. They weathered the downpour.
I like this image of the Orion sculpture, which I took yesterday afternoon in Gruga Park, more than the images I took today, so…
Observing light and shadow.
