Slow day, lots audio drama listening going on. Ulya has been sick in bed for three days now. I held down the fort, but I can feel it coming. First symptoms started a couple of hours ago, and it develops exactly like with her three days ago. Better prepare some emergency images to post in the coming days, as I probably won't be able to make any. 😩

I finally made it out of the house for the sole purpose of taking photographs! What made it even better was that I met up with my friend Daniel. We went to Duisburg, where the Ironman event was happening. We arrived about midday, just in time for the running part of the triathlon. It was incredibly hot, so the shower stations were quite popular with the runners, which – in turn – made for some quite spectacular images.

Today I finally managed to get some creative work done for myself! I finished the layout of the first of four zines, containing all of the images of the currently running 366 project. I decided to go with one β€žissueβ€œ per quarter, as I would never fit all of the images into one book (it's just too many). I also love the magazine format, so this will also be a lot cheaper to produce. Not sure if anyone other than me would be interested in owning a copy, but if so, let me know. Blurb shipping is always ridiculously expensive, so ordering in bulk could help with that. And I also would be able to sign your copy. πŸ˜‰

Observing light and shadow. Yesterday I was complaining about the rain, but this morning it was actually quite nice, so I stopped by Gruga for a short (photo) walk before heading to the office. Leica released a new full-frame camera yesterday, that comes with a fixed 43mm lens. I've never gotten used to this weird in-between-35-and-50 focal length. Whenever I use the 27mm pancake on my X-T5 (which is a ~40mm equivalent) and lift up the camera to my eye, I am always surprised that I am either too close or too far away from the subject. I am so used to either 35 or 50, that I know exactly where to stand even before raising the camera to take the photo. 40, however, always trips me up.
