Hi, I’m Florian!

I am a dad and husband, web designer/developer by trade and photographer at heart.

Status Updates

Joan Westenberg makes a great case for why you should run your own blog:

We’re not going to get a better internet by waiting for platforms to become less extractive. We build it by building it. By maintaining our own spaces, linking to each other, creating the interconnected web of independent sites that the blogosphere once was and could be again.

Only 39 more days until another full year of posting is complete over on the photo blog. The plan is to just keep going this time. 🙌

It is New Photos From Daniel-Day! He just published his photos from May 2024 and I make an appearance. That is not the reason I am posting this, btw – I just enjoy looking at his images + funny comments. Last year in December, he managed to post five new months! Will he be able to repeat that record-breaking output? Stay tuned.
