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.

Had a quick look at Parkleuchten earlier. It was raining, so it was as quiet as I have ever seen Gruga during this time. (Last year was packed!) Unobstructed views of most of the installations. 🙌 I'll try to go back tomorrow with the kids. Technical side note: The image stabilization capabilities of the X-T5 are amazing.

Remnants of an old Chinese restaurant, which has been shut down years ago. The lions remain – and look more and more ancient by the day as the dust buildup gets thicker and thicker. The stool and the ashtray belong to the casino, which has its door to the right. Usually there are people out here smoking. Not today though.

More than once I thought, that I should start documenting (or collecting) photos of stickers on lamp posts. I don't care for the political ones – those are mostly ugly anyway (some are hard to argue with, though), but rather the completely random ones, that I have no idea why anyone would print and spread them or what they even mean.

I started laying out all these 366 project photos in a magazine. I would really love to print them in one form or another, once this is done. The sheer number of images at the end of the 366 days won't fit into one, single magazine, so I am thinking quarterly, maybe? A set of four magazines, with approx. 120 pages each. Sounds about right.

2024-02-22
Do you, dear reader, still have a Flickr account? I used to be Pro subscriber, but cancelled a couple of years back, when I decided to rather post my images here. Every now and then I get reminded that it still exists, when they threaten to delete my images. Anyways, it seems none of my photos are publicly visible anymore… I myself am able to view all of my 5k+ photos just fine. Can anyone with a login confirm whether my images are visible if you are logged in?

Observing color. An interesting thing happened, since I started laying out all of the images of this 366 project in a magazine: Every other day, while taking photographs, I am considering if the subject in front of my lens will fit next to the image of the previous day. Unfortunately it doesn't in most cases so far, and now I am aware of it… This definitely adds another dimension to the whole process and makes it much more challenging. (As if it wasn't hard enough already!)

Went to the climbing gym today with the whole family. Found out that my wife might indeed be spider woman. (Definitely very talented when it comes to climbing, which I never saw her do before. Because, when do you actually need to climb in everyday life… ?) The kids had fun as well, so I guess we will be back there soon. 🙂

Found this poor thing on the stairs leading from the basement to the backyard. It looks like it has been lying there for quite some time. I guess it is a squirrel? (We have lots of those in the trees around our house.) No idea how it died. Probably not from falling off the roof… Maybe the neighbors' cat got it? Jack is a proper predator, catching birds, squirrels and even small rabits all the time. He is so deadly in fact, that during bird breeding season he is only allowed into the backyard on a leash.

A gray parrot looking at me. These birds a so fascinating to me. I think if I had to choose a pet, I'd probably go with some kind of bird. (Generally I am of the opintion that most people should not have pets.) I always thought they looked quite misserable in their cages, but learned that Gruga is a sanctuary, which explains why some of the birds seem to be in pretty rough shape. So while still living in a cage, most of them probably came from even smaller ones to begin with.

Claudio Rimann@florianziegler It's funny isn't it? I made the same observation since printing my last year's images as a book.
