Hi, I’m Florian!

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

Status Updates

Yiğit has written a lovely post about how I inspired him to start his photo blog! 🥹 We met at WordCamp Europe in Turin last year, although very briefly at a bus stop on our way home. Check out his blog, where he’s currently doing a 365 project. Oh, and he also has a stats page!

Thinking about removing the social media integration from my photo blog. 🤔 Not sure it adds anything meaningful to be honest. Don’t get me wrong: I currently enjoy using Mastodon and the interactions there, but I enjoy direct conversations (mostly via email) with people that I follow or people that follow me (mostly via RSS) much more!

About calling your photography “work”: I mostly agree with Cedric's post, though I think sometimes calling it work also can give it special meaning, as in “I put some special effort into this”. I think of it more in terms of “I worked hard on this”, without it becoming my work (as in profession or obligation). I wholeheartedly agree that photography should spark joy and you should do it for yourself first and foremost.

I want to compile a list of people doing a 365 photo project, preferable if they use their own blog to do so. Other platforms (Mastodon, Pixelfed, Glass) are fine, too, as long as I am able to follow via RSS/Atom. So if you are doing a project yourself or know of a project, let me know! Please share for more reach. 🙂
