A blog where Florian tries to post one photo per day.
Practicing. Daily! I really hope she can keep this initial enthusiasm alive for a long time. 🤞
The 366 part I zine arrived, and I am very happy with the result. Might add a little more padding to bottom of the text pages, but other than that, it is good to go!
Morning commute.
Looks like the proof print of my 366 zine (part I) will arrive tomorrow! A couple of dear readers have signaled their interest in wanting a copy as well. Let me know, if you haven't done so yet.
Took my daughter to her friend's birthday party today, near Zeche Zollverein. So, naturally, I stopped and took some photos.
Not quite done with this idea yet.
Wouldn't have posted anything today, if it wasn't for the 366 project, I am so tired. 🥱
Graffiti practice wall. Seems like there is new art work weekly.
Abysmal weather conditions today. We still made our way to Rhein-Ruhr-Zentrum to get a birthday present for Lumis friend. Hope the weather will be better on the weekend, when the celebration takes place.
Changed the break pads of our bike today. I still get surprised by them needing to be replaced every time. I need to track that better. At least now that I've done it a couple of times, I manage to get it done quite quickly. ☝️ That's a feather on the hood of a car by the way.
The clouds and the rain are back. Meh.
Today I finally managed to get some creative work done for myself! I finished the layout of the first of four zines, containing all of the images of the currently running 366 project. I decided to go with one „issue“ per quarter, as I would never fit all of the images into one book (it's just too many). I also love the magazine format, so this will be a lot cheaper to produce.
Not sure if anyone other than me would be interested in owning a copy, but if so, let me know. Blurb shipping is always ridiculously expensive, so ordering in bulk could help with that. And I also would be able to sign your copy. 😉
Already looks like she knows what she's doing. 😊 She really enjoyed her first two lessons. Let's hope she's more into practicing than I was.

Trying to post photos earlier in the day, because I almost missed posting at all in the last couple of days. 😬 Still getting used to the "new" schedule, with Ulya already gone, when the rest of us get up on the morning.
She got her first fountain pen today.
Didn't even find time to shot during my commute today. Also, it was raining every time I sat on my bike, so there's that. So birch tree leaves outside my (home) office window it is…
Pretty busy with work at the moment, also Ulya has started an internship at a delivery ward, and her working hours are a bit all over the place. It will be a challenge for the next couple of weeks to find some time for photography, so I guess I'll try to take some during my commute.
I finally made it out of the house for the sole purpose of taking photographs! What made it even better was that I met up with my friend Daniel. We went to Duisburg, where the Ironman event was happening. We arrived about midday, just in time for the running part of the triathlon. It was incredibly hot, so the shower stations were quite popular with the runners, which – in turn – made for some quite spectacular images.
Suvi fell and got a scratch on her hand, so her sister and a friend came to the rescue. ❤️
Video production on the back patio at collective.ruhr.
This place looked comfortable enough to kill half an hour between fetching kid one from school and kid two from kindergarten.
Made a short stop at the nearest calisthenics spot after getting the kids to school/kindergarten this morning. My grip strength has gone to sh*t compared to back in those days. 😔
They excavated a dino eggs in kindergarten today. Out came this guy.
Out on skates again today! 🙌
Oh! By clicking through the "on this day" links, I realized that this blog is eight years old today! 🥳
Had breakfast at a cafe this morning and there was this corridor with a wall full of different mirrors. Happy that the family was down for creating this photograph – although I first had to explain to the kids, that they didn't need to see themselves in order for this to work. 😊
Today is my birthday! We didn't do anything special, short bike ride with the girls, yet another Gruga visit, and barbecue with our tiny grill on the balcony (including marshmallows!) in the afternoon. (Image of me by my daughter Lumi.)

I am sorry for this, but I already was two levels deep, so I had to do it. ☺️ Something more interesting tomorrow (I hope).

School started again today and I am looking forward to getting back to a somewhat regular schedule. Although I still do not feel like I am 100% – but not really sick either. Ulya has been in bed for six days now, I still hope I dodged that bullet. (Not COVID btw, according to those tests.) Anyway: For those who missed it yesterday, my stats are now available as a Kirby plugin.

Hey! I released my photo stats as a stand-alone Kirby plugin. I've written a bit about it on my (text) blog. I hope someone out there finds this useful. 🙂
