As I now use the Sony a7 IV for photography and videography, I no longer feel the need to chase the latest generation iPhone 17 Pro Max for the “best camera” in a smartphone, because with Sony, I have the best camera, period. Therefore, I will stick with my gold 1TB iPhone 16 Pro Max for as long as possible.

The grave of Mr. Barbo, a good boy. Near the summit of Mount Equinox, Manchester, Vermont, USA. June 24th, 2025.

"Born April 20, 1943"
"We loved him and he repaid that love with an adoring devotion that only a dog could give. Shot and killed by a malicious hunter Nov. 24, 1955."

Hoch die Hände, Wochenende! 🙌🏼
Bei sehr angenehmen Temperaturen konnten Emil, die Sony und ich endlich mal wieder ausgiebig auf Tour gehen. Es ging Richtung Hirschkopf, geplant war der Rotmilan, aber der war satt und träge und hat nicht gejagt. Macht aber gar nichts, irgendwas sieht man immer!
