The Beginning
#

I wanted to start with stories about my street photography, which I published on Instagram or Flickr. But that was more difficult than I imagined.

A writing assignment from the book Schreiben unter Strom 1 gave me the idea of turning this exercise into an experiment with ChatGPT and DALL-E. This was the first modest start to a blog about writing, photography, technology and personal knowledge management.

The Topics
#

Photography has been with me all my life, ever since I bought a Canon A-1 from my apprentice’s wages.

I have also been fascinated by IT for 45 years now. I am always amazed at the rapid pace at which technology is developing. This means that the knowledge acquired in many areas has a half-life of six months or even less.

This is precisely why I believe that personal knowledge management is important in order to be able to process the vast amount of information that we are bombarded with every day and to maintain and expand our own knowledge in the long term.

Writing, on the other hand, is new territory for me. I have written a lot in my career, but mainly concepts, technical documents, user requirements and reports.

But writing as a tool for conveying experience and knowledge is completely new territory for me.

The Future
#

In this blog, I want to share my knowledge.

Future posts will delve deep into the art of writing and photography, as well as the world of knowledge management and technological innovation - areas that are constantly redefining our creative and professional endeavors.

This blog is intended to become an archive of change, an echo of the dynamic world we all live in. Here I share insights and ideas that I hope you will find fascinating both in the making and in the contemplation.

I invite you to join me on this journey not only as a reader, but also as a critical observer. Each post is intended to give you the opportunity to question my perspectives and share yours with me.

Whether you’re looking for inspiration, knowledge or just a moment of wonder, I hope you find it here. The future may be an open book, but I hope we discover it together, page by page.

Why Neodym?
#

The idea for the blog came to me when I turned 60. While searching for a name associated with the number 60, I came across the chemical element neodymium, which has the atomic number 60.
