My photography journey began in 2007. The main reason why I chose 2011 as a starting point for revisiting my archive of roughly 18 years was that by then I start seeing the first hints at the development of something like a photographic language.
Mostly I'm doing this project to find some kind of closure. I still enjoy picking up the camera. But it can be months in and between. Recently there's been something else that excites me just as much as photography did back in 2007.
In 2007 I only had a very rough idea what I wanted to photograph. But I knew I wanted to hold and use a camera. And this helped me through a lot of frustrations. The more I knew what I wanted to photograph, the less the results looked anything like what I envisioned. I switched equipment quite a few times, thinking it was the gear. Or the boring place I live in.
Of course it was neither. Back then I wanted to post every day. Going through my archives year by year today, I can still feel the echoes of these frustrations. But today I'm happy to see a hand full of images I really like in one year. And from the distance both in time and emotionally I can clearly see the progress.
It is interesting however, even though my current journey has just began, I can already see the parallels to my first years with photography. Maybe I would describe my photography journey as trying to make the invisible visible. Will I be able to make the inaudible audible?
I started to learn piano using an App to overcome the isolation during the pandemic. After things went back to normal more or less, I mostly forgot about it and gave the piano away. On Christmas last year it found its way back to me. I didn't want to sell it and figured I had to do something with it. That escalated quickly ...
Today I know I want to touch the keys of a synthesizer and translate my emotions into electronic music. I don't know yet what kind of music that's going to be but I have some rough ideas. I already own three different keyboards without knowing how to play them properly. I'm taking piano lessons. I can feel progress, but it's so darn slow and the frustrations are big.
But just sitting in front of the keys electrifies me.
Some habits are hard to break. Habit is the wrong word, but it’s what I’m working with. You go with what you know.
I’m trying to dig a little deeper in my mental health journey, maybe try something a little more intermediate. Journaling seemed apt. And this is where I've journaled for.... a long time. Not in earnest in a very long time, but cheers to starting somewhere.
I'm creating some challenges and goals for myself, and I'm journaling about them here to hold myself accountable.
It may come in fits and starts.
There may be long periods of silence.
But I've got forward energy, and we're aiming toward the horizon.
You, Djehuty - and only You - I think I know all Your holy names and hundreds of epithets, recognizing the hieroglyphic signs from the first glance sometimes,
but all these names are here just to bring more light to certain aspects of your wonderful Wholeness.

It’s a question a lot of people ask. Sadly, it’s a question without an answer.
Most people express regrets, going back and fixing one thing in time. They miss the point. That event might have been what made them who they are right then and there.
Consider. I’m the son of a rancher. I knew hard work in the…
