A blog where Florian tries to post one photo per day.

Fiery sunrise. This must be some kind of record for the earliest post. Love when I am done that early – especially with a picture that I am very happy with – rather than to scramble to post something at 11 pm. 🙂
I do not often mention work here, but since this is photography related: We currently have a sale over at picu, which – in my biased opinion – is the best photo proofing tool out there (if you are running WordPress). Check it out!

Wrapping the present she got for her sister's birthday, which is coming up in a couple of weeks.

Early morning Gruga visit. Kind of amazing walking through the park, without anyone else being present. Quite the peaceful experience.
Still enjoying Claude assisting with the alt text generation.

Garffiti-covered Doorbell.
Haven't mentioned it on this blog for a while: On Friday (in two days), I will order a new batch of project 366 zines. Part II and III are now done and ready for printing! If you are interested in owning a copy, subscribe to my newsletter. I'll send out the info on how to order tomorrow. (Big thanks to those who already put their orders in! 🙏)

I am done with the dark and gloomy weather.

Not sure what was going on there. They extended the ladder, the guy looked into some windows, then folded everything back up. 🤷♂️ (The only photo I took today.)

Baking cookies at the neighbors'.

On my way home from Frankfurt. Lots of walking and talking with Claudio. Looking forward to going back to work on Monday! In find these in-person meet-ups essential and we definitely need to do this more often. And, maybe next time, we will finally not forget to make new team photos. 🙈

Did some exploring this morning and visited the observation deck of the Main Tower.

In Frankfurt with Claudio for our end-of-year Haptiq meet-up.
It is no secret that I am very apprehensive when it comes to LLMs. However, earlier today Claudio showed me some very cool stuff, he has built with the help of – his almost namesake – Claude. So I caved in and created an account to try it myself. 🫣 I mean, it surely can help with simple tasks, no? So: The alt text for the image above was created entirely by Claude and I think, it did an amazing job.

Making noodles with anneanne.

Abysmal weather conditions today. Only went out side to get my kids to/from school/kindergarten. Took five (not so great) images, including the one above.

A41 with a reflection taken on my way home from a quick grocery run.

A very blue house. Another late afternoon walk, before the rain.

Late afternoon walk with the girls. They were sick all week and we finally made it outside.

I can't believe it took us almost nine months (!) to get to Back to the Future Part II. I also didn't remember that part two and three were filmed back-to-back. They even showed previews of the third movie at the end of this one. Given our current trajectory we'll watch #3 in August 2025. 🙈

On our way to the post office.

This is Ferdi. He played some Johnny Cash and Elvis and had a great voice, too. From our short conversation I learned that this is how he earns his living. In these situtations I always try to stop and listen for a couple of minutes (if I like the music). This makes it less awkward for other people to also stop and listen. 😊

We found a huge pile of leaves. The city probably forgot to clear it, because it is the only one around the neighborhood.

Made it back home from Berlin. Finished editing my photos from beyond tellerrand on the train and the gallery is already up. Now sleep!

And these are some of my favorites from day two at beyond tellerand Berlin 2024 featuring Miriam Suzanne, Manuel Matuzovic, Sheryl Cababa, Paddy Donnelly and Hidde de Vries. As alway: Thanks for having me, Marc. What a pleasure and inspiration it is to document these events and meet so many lovely people. It is a truely unique and special event.
PS: The full gallery will go live some time next week.

Very happy to be at beyond tellerrand once more to do my thing. These are a couple of my favorite images from today featuring speakers Linda Liukas, Jan De Coster, Sophie Koonin, Christine Vallaure, Craig Black and Jessica Hische. See you tomorrow for day two! 🙌

What a strange day. I feel kind of anxious. Didn't dare to open Mastodon (which is the only social media I consume). I'll just share a link to this post and that's it. The feeling of anxiety is probably compounded by the fact that I won't see my kids for two days, because – and this, on the other hand, is a very happy occastion – I made my way to Berlin to once more document beyond tellerrand, which will happen tomorrow and the day after. (There are still tickets available!) Anyways, the hotel is very pink.

Early morning – and very cold – walk. One of Gruga entrances lies conveniently on my way home after dropping off the kids, so if the weather is nice, I try to get a walk in early, with the added benefit of being able to take some photos.

Another one from yesterday's explorations in Gurga, because today, I didn't shoot anything interesting.

Perfect fall weather today. Lumi wanted to take pictures of the deer in Gruga park, so we packed the long lens. Unfortunately the enclosure was closed due to deer mating season. So we pivoted towards owls. 🙂

Spent a couple of hours outside with the girls today. We even saw a huge flock of migrating birds, though very far away. (A bit too far for my 50mm equivalent lens.)
