Journal

Went ice skating with the family today. The kids were hungry so we went into the little snack bar. When my wife asked what kind of meat the sausages were, the answer was a proud “Pork, of course! We are in Germany after all!” 🤦‍♂️

We didn’t buy any pork sausages.

2024 Retrospective

In 2024 I archived 1  16,217 photos, 4,633 of which, I marked as favorites. (2023’s numbers for comparison: 15,705 …

Doing some light video editing and exporting this evening and using my wife’s M4 iPad, because it is the most powerful computer we have. Exporting 4k video is screamingly fast. 🤯

Still feeling under the weather. 🙄 And because I couldn’t go out today, I added Bluesky comments to my photo blog. 🤷‍♂️ With their open API to get likes (just like Mastodon’s) it was pretty straighforward and easy to do. They are now displayed with the Mastodon favorites below every post. I will write it up in a proper post down the line.

366 Days of Daily Posting

I did it again! I posted at least one image per day for one year straight.

Yesterday I finished my 366 project. 🙌

It feels very strange not posting today! (It’s not that I haven’t taken any photographs… 🤔)

Yesterday I ordered 853 small format prints from my Aile project. As we didn’t visit Turkey last year, and most likely won’t be able to do so this year either, I thought this longer break might be a good marker to finally start working on this project again. I would love to create a photo book, but in order to do so, I have to live with the work, and that is much easier done with physical prints than with images on a screen.

The Linux Experiment

Today, for the first time in 23 years, I own a computer that is not a Mac. For a while now I had the idea to break away …

The 366 zines (part II and III) arrived yesterday! 🎉 Unfortunately half of them are not up to the quality that one can expect. I already contacted Blurb customer service and will hopefully get this resolved quickly. Not worried, as I had similar issues before and Blurb handled it exemplary every time. My guess is that they were (are?) quite overwhelmed with Black Friday / Christmas orders. I’ll sign and ship the good half on Saturday. 🙌

Muscle memory can be a b*tch.
