How to tell stories online
→
For years I thought I was simply exploring and taking photos. Only later did I realize I was repeating a pattern: go out, collect, return, interpret, publish, repeat. This issue maps the loop that turns wandering into a creative practice.
Mexico, a retrospective
→
A look at a country I like a lot, but no longer love. And "it's not you, it's me" I want to tell it, if countries had ears to hear it. Because it really is me and who I am today. But, who knows, another 10 years might do wonders.
Playa del Carmen (yes, I am sorry)
→
Hey man, let's be real: Playa del Carmen is a tourist hub. It's fake in all
Mérida, Yucatán
→
Oh wonderfully interesting but, apparently, forgettable Mérida. Forgettable for me, specifically, I must say.
Puerto Escondido
→
Or Punta de Zicatela, more specifically. Because that's definitely the place you want to be right now if you come here.
Spanish
→
Just enough to keep us afloat. That's my level of Spanish. At least it was during our first few days in Mexico. Some skills acquired about ten years ago and slowly eroded since, now carefully getting its dust wiped off.
Monologues are back
→
The briefest of entries so far.
San Agustinillo and Mazunte
→
I cried tears of joy and relief when we decided to come here. The mere sight on the Pacific Ocean
Oaxaca de Juárez
→
So strange that I have so little memory of my previous visit, some ten year ago, other than not liking the mole at Mercado 20 de Noviembre as much as I hoped. I think I was wrong. I sincerely hope I was wrong. About the city as well as the mole.
Long lens, silly lens
→
It's day two of our Mexico trip and I already regret some of my choices. But there's nothing I can do about them now. Just gotta learn to make it work. And frankly, this is also kinda by design.
Mexico, 2026
→
After a ten-year hiatus, it's time to revisit. See how much the country has changed. Or rather, my perspective on it. But mostly, to see if I can find something I am looking for without properly knowing what that would be. A stream of consciousness to record the process.
Closing loops
→
For you won’t judge me for my honesty. And in it, you may find what’s truly yours. I hope you see me as I intend to.
How clear is your vision?
→
This month I reflect on clarity, the birth of 33punt, and why integrated creativity isn’t a luxury but a necessity. If you want to know what we’re building, and why it matters, this one’s for you.
It takes years, and that’s fine
→
Back to Berlin I go. For reasons unknown to me too. But, over the years, despite no apparent goals, a body of work is emerging. And that’s interesting.
Covering L'Estartit, an intermezzo
→
Learning more about my current project by doing a different project in between.
Photography in the Age of AI: Lessons From 25 Weeks of Experimentation
→
Over 25 weeks, I tested whether AI can match the emotion and imperfection of human photography. The results? AI is fast and functional but still sterile. Here’s what this experiment reveals about the future of photography in the age of AI.

→
The soul of an image can not and will not be generated by computers. Humans create human experiences. Humans connect to human experiences. Computers are mimicking that very closely, but you can always tell.
Closer #023

Whatever time I have left, I spend wrecking my brain over the conclusions of this soon-to-be 25 weeks of AI-experimentation. It's taking shape, albeit slowly, and this week is very helpful with that.
