I've recently become unemployed, and it's fine. I enjoy it, actually. It took a month-long trip to Mexico to work process it but I think I'm good now. Going for runs and calisthenics workouts multiple times a week is what keeps me there.
I am still writing my monthly newsletter, Dialogue, and "photography, exploration and other things" has become an ever better description over time. The weekly newsletter, Closer, has come to an end after I declared the idea fleshed out after a period of 25 weeks.
I am working on more toolkits, alongside Packless, although progress is rather slow on those. It requires a lot of thinking to get 'right' and I find myself not always in the headspace required to do such work. We keep going though.
I'm in the process of completely revamping my website and, hopefully, turning it into a forever-home for all my work. The goal remains to find the level of freedom that allows unlimited exploration, creation, and digestion at a sustainable level. My newly developed 'domains' approach, is how I bring structure in the process toward that goal. I'm developing a more general thesis on the motivations underlaying the work as well.
I still live in Amersfoort, NL, but part of me feels less at home here than I used to.
