Hello!

Hello my name is Juli and I am the person who keeps this place full of food, stories and bad jokes. Just kidding, my jokes are the bomb!  I am a thirty-two (still cannot believe it) year old 'girl' living in the south of Germany and I refuse to see myself as a grown-up! In fact I think I never

Let’s be Instagram Friends

Smoke and mirrors… …or my first wonky trial a Smoke and mirrors…

…or my first wonky trial animating a still photo in after effects. The edges are a bit rough and I definitely should have set the sequence for a bit longer than 4 seconds (I guess you can technically change that later but I most definitely can’t) BUT I am okay with it. As there is nothing quite as satisfying as bringing a vision from your head into reality when you actually really lack the skills to do so.

2022 is coming to a close so inevitably it’s tim 2022 is coming to a close so inevitably it’s time for my #2022best9

Following the good old tradition, I not only show you 9 pictures (I randomly selected for 2022 as I never post her anymore) but I will also enlighten you with 9 interesting, downright fascinating things about my 2022 in form of a list.

Thank me later for that piece of (consistently degrading) quality content:

1) Oh 2022, I did really like you. I kinda caught myself waiting for disaster to strike because the level of content I felt as a baseline seemed surreal.

2) Even though the kid makes me do horrific stuff pretty much every day. Like roaring like a lion or singing nursery rhymes in public…. 

3) 2022 also brought more change. We swapped the apartment for a house with garden in a tiny village and our eggs no longer come from the supermarket but directly from the farm. 

4) More 2022 highlights (in no particular order): salty water and sand between my toes, slowly building my garage studio & growing my own produce

5) 2022 downers (also in no particular order): failing to eat the produce I grew, my inability to figure out the light in the new space & the current state of the world

6) Borderline concerning dependencies I formed in 2022 (still in no particular order): supermarket Tiramisu, stalking Ebay Marketplace for the perfect prop chair & Birkenstocks

7) This was also the year of finally making all my wild DIY fantasies become reality. As in I made the plans, kicked off the projects and then handed them over to my poor husband to finish them - what can I say, he’s still a catch. 

8) Despite refusing to accept that it was time for a boring family car I am a convert now. That’s mainly due to my being quite partial to the butt warming feature our new ride offers. 

9) 2023, I have really high hopes for you - please live up to my expectations!

Moving on….

…from one year to another. 

It’s a time of change yet again. In some way change had been the only constant in my life in the past few years. New job, a child, new house and subsequently kind of a new life… yet I am still filled to the brim with this feeling of being on the cusp. 

I know it’s all in our heads. An arbitrary date set to fit a narration. Still at this time of the year I cannot help but feel all the possibilities of a brand new beginning. 

One big contradiction. While I am certainly not somebody to make New Year’s resolutions and I don’t think everything magically changes just because the clock strikes midnight once again, I do like to pause for a moment to reflect on the past 52 weeks at the end of every year (more on this tomorrow in my traditional best 9 New Year‘s Eve post 🤗)

I also like to think about my intentions moving forward. And those are their own big contradiction in themselves. My intention is to go back in order to move forward. To go back to taking time to myself, to learn new stuff and to create. What I will create I have no idea yet. But I‘ll figure it out…

In the past couple of weeks I have been reviewing In the past couple of weeks I have been reviewing my photography work of the past 4,5 years or so. It wasn’t an intentional choice, I just really really really needed to declutter my hard drive! 

Looking at some of the pictures made me happy, looking at some others made me cringe and a few just made me plain hungry! A dumpling feast is definitely long overdue! And I wouldn’t mind a bite or two of those Bao Buns from early 2020 either.

I also stumbled upon this picture from July 2020. And next two giving me all the feels about how much my life and I have changed over the past two years (I spare you more of that soppy gibberish - at least until another day) I really really got a strong urge to redo this. And then I flipped through some more folders and the urge got stronger and stronger and now all I can think of (when my child sleeps, I don’t actually work or scroll through ebay looking for a new chair to match my table and vision of my new photo set up) is that I want to reshoot them all! Well, almost - these dumplings were a nightmare to fold!

I think after two years of rarely picking up my camera I am just really photography deprived. I’d even shoot something super boring, like an apple. And I’d probably have really fun with it. Actually I could do that… I think there are a few left in the pantry. But they are probably really wrinkly…

Anyway, my new plan now is to hurry up painting that freaking dining room cabinet so that we can eventually clean up the garage so that I can set up a small space to shoot and then when we’re done and the child is probably 12 years old I have finally all set in place to get back into the swing of things. Welcome to me being all dramatic albeit probably almost realistic…

I think I am going to go grab that apple now.
