My Black and White Workflow

Today I was asked about my black and white workflow. I thought I might answer it here as well: I only shoot raw, both …

📷 May I present to you, my photographic documentation of beyond tellerrand 2023 in Düsseldorf feat. @sophie @scott @quasimondo @michelle @cassiecodes @tobestobs and more.

I had an amazing time – as always! Thanks to all the speakers for your inspiring stories and @marcthiele for having me! 🙏

In the process of editing my #btconf images from earlier this week:

I did take 1,641 images in total. 805 were left after the first pass, 406 after the second. Now down to 219 photos. I usually aim for something in the range of 150 or so images. Getting rid of the last 50, is always the hardest part.

Final thing after that will be sequencing. I mostly go with chronological here, but sometimes, moving a couple of images around makes for a more interesting flow.

Stay tuned!

Personal Picture Postcards

So I created this new feature into my photo blog where I can send a photograph and a personal note to someone in the …

The Kirby Panel

I didn’t mention the panel in my last post about Kirby 1. Although I initially thought, I would add new posts via …

I am currently reading Austin Kleon‘s “Show your work!” I love the format of the book and it is a quick and entertaining read so far.

Once you make sharing part of your daily routine, you’ll notice themes and trends emerging in what you share. You’ll find patterns in your flow.

This bit especially resonated with me. As I am in the process of (making and) sharing photos daily on my photo blog, I find patterns all the time, certain repeating themes, subjects I am drawn to. This was also the main reason for creating “collections” on the blog – not for others, but to make these patterns more obvious for myself.

I didn’t get CSS to run doom or anything, but I’m still delighted that I made this work using only HTML, CSS, and a little weasy black magic.

Very interesting – and entertaining – read.

File Handling: Leica M vs. Fuji

Something I never read about anywhere is how incredibly well the (digital) Leica M handles SD cards and files. Example …

I watched the Boris Becker Documentary on Apple TV+ last night. I remember being on this balcony as a kid when he came home after he won Wimbledon in 1985:

He was such a big deal when I was a child, growing up in Leimen, where he is from also. I remember watching many matches and with my dad or my grandparents, featuring Boris’ epic rivalries with Ivan Lendl, Stefan Edberg and later Michael Stich.

I am glad that the documentary spent more time (about 2/3) on the tennis rather than his financial/business-related issues.

(Side note: How stupid is it, that Apple, Netflix & co. prevent you from taking screenshots? Yeah, pretty stupid!)

WordCamp Switzerland 2023

It’s been quite a while since I published one of my WordCamp photo recap posts! I had to look it up: It was for …
