🎈 Happy New Year everyone! 🎈
2024-01-01
Watching the fireworks from the kitchen window. This was the first New Year's Eve, that Lumi managed to stay awake until midnight. Her sister slept through the whole thing without a peep – I am very envious of this ability. Feels like a super power. This is the start of a yearlong quest to post an image every day and, as this is post 1 of 366, I thought an introduction might be in order: My name is Florian, dad of two, husband to one. We live in Essen, Germany. Photography is my main creative outlet. I have a camera with me all the time and wherever I go. I work as a web designer and developer at Haptiq, a small agency which I co-founded with my friend Claudio.
You can follow along via RSS. I'll also post links to all posts over on Mastodon.

Yesterday morning I went out on a walk to document the aftermath of New Year's Eve, but unlike last year (or in 2019) – and to my surprise – there wasn't much to photograph this time. The streets were also eerily void of humans, which was nice. Continuing the introductory theme from yesterday, I wanted to give you a quick tip in how to navigation/use this website: For most actions, you can use your keyboard to navigate, eg. use

Finally a short break in the rain earlier today, which allowed me to get out of the house. I used the time to get rid of some stuff from the cellar, which is in desperate need of decluttering – and to take today's photograph. (Funny! I did the same thing last year, although I didn't go to the recycling yard this time around. Must be e new year thing…)

It's still raining. Left the house to go to a gym. (Yeah, I know – pretty cliché for the beginning of a new year, but I initiated the contact back in November, so… 🤷♂️) The trainer told me what I already know: My general fitness needs some improvement. But there's hope! At least my body still knows how to perform all of the exercises. (Thanks, years of calisthenics training!)

Photo excursion to Mülheim to check out the Ruhr's water level. The girls wanted to come with me – and they brought their cameras! ❤️

Spinning. Extreme muscle soreness from two days ago. It always seems to hit me me worse on the second day after a workout. Time to get back into shape, so this doesn't happen as bad.

The rain finally stopped. Instead it has gotten very cold. After coming back home from a quick walk, I took this photo of my daughter warming up under a blanket near the radiator. 😂 My lense was tarnished (being cold coming from outside) while I was taking the image. If you find that sort of thing interesting: I shared some photo stats in my 2023 retrospective post over on my other blog.

First clear sky in weeks! Coincidentally last year's image was of A41 as well! 🤷♂️

Walked past another tall building (for a change), when I dropped off my bike for a checkup. Getting big city vibes from this one.

As a bit of contrast to yesterday's post, there are also the quiet parts of Essen. I will be documenting a movie premiere tonight and hopefully have some photos to share from that tomorrow.

What a long day in front of the computer, ugh! But, I made a lot of headway in a client project – and I also edited and post processed all of the movie premiere photos, a handful of which you can see above. Now sleep!

Didn't manage to take a photo today, so you get one from Friday, when I was observing color, while on my way to Cologne.

We had a flat tire on our way back home. Glad the little one was helping out and generally in a good mood – despite having to walk all the way home! Now I need to change (or fix) that tube. Not what I had on the agenda for today… oh well…

More observing of light and shadow. What a great day (and its no even over yet). We spent a couple of hours outside. The kids took the bikes to the park and got some swing-time in at the playground. I was able to get some photography in on our way. Spring can't come soon enough.
