venice 2024

20250227

For now this will be my third and last slideshow video of my recent trips. Again the slideshow is almost an hour long and condenses a week of adventures into a continuous stream of images and short clips. So let's dive in.

This video is about my trip to Venice in late summer of 2024. My main focus of this trip was watching the Venice Art Biennale of 2024 and their various venues. I've also been visiting some of the Collaterali events, these are like add ons to the main exhibition spread all across the city of Venice and its lagoon. But of course what's a trip to Venice without actually watching Venice and all its glory. There's a reason why it's called the Serenissima and of course I can't let you go without showing you at least some of the marvels of this often so unexpected but still beautiful city. read more…

In this ongoing series I'm trying to present you my most important images of 2024 in a new way. For each of my trips I have put together a slideshow that compresses roughly one week of images into a slideshow of roughly 1 hour, usually less. I know this still means quite a lot of commitment and also a lot of trust, so grab a chair, make yourself comfortable and start watching.

I hope I've found the right balance between the chronological truth and logic and the amount of artistic expression and laissez faire. Now here's the second of these videos. Welcome to Tuscany. read more…

As I've already mentioned here before I've been putting a lot of effort into the creation of some yearly slideshows towards the end of the year. Usually these slideshows are meant to be watched by some friends and by the greater family. They've become part of our family Christmas tradition. And it's also just fun to sort through all these photographs of the year and relive all these memories together.

This year I've started something new and was also preparing versions of these slideshows for a bigger audience. One after the other I'm going to upload these videos to YouTube and anyone who's curious enough to spend 30 minutes or up to one hour sitting in front of their computers or TVs can watch them now as well. read more…

seasonal greetings

20241209

It's that time again. The old year is coming to a close while the new year hasn't fully arrived yet. 2025 is lingering, but it's not there yet. Here in the center of Europe it's also winter time. The days get shorter and the nights are long and dark. Actually things are meant to slow down, at least for a couple of weeks before Christmas time, but usually that's not the case. Halloween, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Santa Claus and all the other events in addition to a lot of administrative tasks make this time of the year more hectic and just more full than ever. read more…

new reeder

It's been a couple of days now since the official launch of the new Reeder app for iOS and macOS. But actually my very first impressions were not at all different from the opinions I have about this app now. It's really hard for me to say when I loved a new app like that right from the beginning. The new Reeder app is exactly how I work and think in terms of news feeds of all sorts all across the internet. The app is glorious, capable, flawless and incredibly beautiful. It's been definitely the right move of the swiss developer Silvio Rizzi to go that route. read more…
