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.
My radius here in the city is quite limited – probably only two square kilometers – so I guess it is no wonder that I revisit certain subjects from time to time.
Just in case you do not also follow my photo blog, I just want to share the link to the photo gallery for the latest beyond tellerrand in Berlin. I had so much fun making these images!
The point of my photoblog was (and still is) to make photography a habit. Having this obligation to post at least one photo every day keeps me on my toes.
I could link to each article Cedric writes on his photoni.st blog, because they are all very good.
Here it is, the full gallery of my #BTConf coverage, 152 images in glorious monochrome. It is truly a special event and I can’t wait for the next one in Berlin in November!
I am in the process of editing my beyond tellerrand photos. I usually begin by adding images to a folder as a first draft. Then I start removing photos, usually similar ones (or ones that are just not as good – whatever that means, it’s all very subjective and by feeling anyway), then proceed with ones that do not fit the flow. Finally – and I’ve learned this over the years – the last 10 photos have to really hurt to delete. Only then do I know that I have found the final selection.
I recently asked around for links to 365 photography projects and I got some feedback. (🙏 Thanks for that!)
I collected them on this page: https://florianziegler.com/365-projects
I am still looking for more projects. Please share if know any!
I decided to create some new rules for my photo blog.
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.
