„Ripley“ on Netflix was fantastic. Great cinematography. Also really good sound design. One of the best series in recent memory for me. (Obviously it being in black and white had me intrigued right from the get-go.)

One of the very few times where Deutsche Bahn being late, worked out in my favor. Caught a train that was scheduled much earlier – and now I am almost home!

Using my M-lenses on my Fujifilm camera is much more fun, than I expected.

Looking at the new Fuji X100VI made me think of the old (and often repeated) mantra: “It is not about the gear!” What a load of crap! It is totally about the gear – but probably not in the way most people think. It is not about the technical specs (more megapixels!), but about the feeling a certain camera invokes. It is just a tool yes, but if I (very much) enjoy using it – and it compels me to pick it up when it is just sitting on my desk – I will make more and better images.

All of the ten most recent videos under my YouTube subscriptions tab are about the Fuji X100VI. (I am not buying a new camera!)

Trying to explain to my six-year-old daughter why she can’t listen to her favorite radio plays from Apple Music on her (my old) iPod.

Had bookmarked it a while ago and was finally able to watch this beautiful documentary about a handful of craftspeople who maintain musical instruments for school children: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xttrkgKXtZ4 Recommended!

I really enjoy reading various blogs lately and I found a little bit of time to work on mine over the weekend.

My six-year-old and I just beat Super Mario Bros. Wonder! What a delightful game. Highly recommended. We are looking forward to exploring more and finding all the wonder seeds we missed so far.
