I can't believe it took us almost nine months (!) to get to Back to the Future Part II. I also didn't remember that part two and three were filmed back-to-back. They even showed previews of the third movie at the end of this one. Given our current trajectory we'll watch #3 in August 2025. 🙈

In Frankfurt with Claudio for our end-of-year Haptiq meet-up. It is no secret that I am very apprehensive when it comes to LLMs. However, earlier today Claudio showed me some very cool stuff, he has built with the help of – his almost namesake – Claude. So I caved in and created an account to try it myself. 🫣 I mean, it surely can help with simple tasks, no? So: The alt text for the image above was created entirely by Claude and I think, it did an amazing job.

On my way home from Frankfurt. Lots of walking and talking with Claudio. Looking forward to going back to work on Monday! In find these in-person meet-ups essential and we definitely need to do this more often. And, maybe next time, we will finally not forget to make new team photos. 🙈

Garffiti-covered Doorbell. Haven't mentioned it on this blog for a while: On Friday (in two days), I will order a new batch of project 366 zines. Part II and III are now done and ready for printing! If you are interested in owning a copy, subscribe to my newsletter. I'll send out the info on how to order tomorrow. (Big thanks to those who already put their orders in! 🙏)

Fiery sunrise. This must be some kind of record for the earliest post. Love when I am done that early – especially with a picture that I am very happy with – rather than to scramble to post something at 11 pm. 🙂 I do not often mention work here, but since this is photography related: We currently have a sale over at picu, which – in my biased opinion – is the best photo proofing tool out there (if you are running WordPress). Check it out!

Walked through Rüttenscheid this morning. Lots of cars, because of the car fair going on right now. Glad it's over tomorrow, because the ratio of stupid drivers I came across during my commute is definitely higher than usual. 🙄 I would be remiss if I didn't link to Daniel's latest photo journal post. He had a busy August 2023! 😬

I am tired. I think the dark time of year is getting to me. Went for an early morning Gruga walk after dropping off the kids. There is always that funny feeling: I have my camera with me – of course – and I know that I will get something before leaving the park, but I never know what it will be. It's a bit like a treasure hunt, without the suspense. I just walk – and look around. And then, there it is. Today it was this wire frame construction covered in a tangle of bare branches with tendrils sticking out in all directions.

A tree was cut down in your backyard today. Suvi was really sad about it. The landscape gardener explained to us that the tree was infected by a fungus and would most likely have come down on its own during the next storm – and possibly in the direction of the house. Even though these pictures have a sad vibe to them – and I just took them today, I already know they will be among my favorites from this year.

Deflated. Made it out of the house for a short walk – and right back to bed. Thought I had some time to reflect, but I spent yesterday (and most of today) in bed, and really didn't feel like sitting down in front of a computer to write down my thoughts. Maybe tomorrow. I have two post left. 😱

Still not feeling great. Made it out of the house for a little bit, though. Took a picture of my family inspecting some random stuff people put out on the street. My wife usually finds something „useful“ – much to my dismay. 😂 As if we didn't have enough „stuff“ already. But I digress. Tomorrow will be the final post of the 366 project. The year long journey will find its end. I have no clue what I will photograph. There is no preconceived concept to any of this, so I guess it will be random, just like all the other days before. 🙂

Is it ready yet? We had raclette for the last dinner of 2024. Unfortunately we couldn't get together with the neighbors as we had originally planned, because they are sick as well. Bets are still open whether Suvi will be awake at midnight. I said before, that I consider it a super power to sleep through the fireworks. And just like that, this concludes the 366 project I started on January 1st. 😱 I'll post a little bit about my takeaways soon, but right now, I just want to say thank you to everyone that followed along – and especially to the fine people, that bought a zine this year. ❤️ It felt amazing sending those out all over the world! The final edition (part IV) will be out in January. No post tomorrow. 🥺 Have a great 2025. Happy New Year! ✨

@florianziegler I’ve thoroughly enjoyed following this project over the last year. A great pleasure to view them on your site, and the addition of an explanatory sentence or two for each post has rounded them off beautifully.

@florianziegler ich fand es sehr spannend deinem Jahr zu folgen weil es noch mal ein ganz anderes Ansatz war als bei mir. Deutlich persönlicher, schwarz-weiß, dokumentarisch. Sehr,sehr gut. Vielen Dank fürs teilen.

Machst du weiter oder startest du ein neues Projekt? Frage mich das bei mir selber auch schon die ganze Zeit, wo es jetzt in die heiße Phase geht. 😅

@oliverbrux Danke dir!

Ich werde auf jeden Fall weiter posten, aber erstmal wieder ohne Druck das täglich machen zu müssen. Hab daher gestern gezielt einen Tag Pause eingelegt, um die Serie bei 366 Tagen zu unterbrechen.

Habe darüber nachgedacht in 2025 monatliche Projekte zu machen, bin mir aber noch unsicher wie fest ich mich im Moment festlegen möchte. 🙂

@florianziegler Felicitaciones Florian!! <3 <3
@ludomatic Hah, thanks! ❤️ I was just in the process of congratulating you as well! 😂
