My first contribution on wikipedia/wikimedia

-
Today I uploaded my first photo on wikimedia commons.
I hope this link works for you because I can't log off my wikimedia account and view my profile as someone else.
Anyway,  this means I'm getting more and more popular as (hobby) photographer. The bigger surprise for me came after I finished uploading my photo. It's about challenges! (Again,  I don't know if links from wikimedia are available for those who don't have an account or are not logged in). Challenges like GuruShots, where professional and hobby photographers alike upload their best photos to get a little insight as photographers. I'm in! I just found another site where I can get a lot of views, be motivated by challenges and good quality photos and I don't get my inbox spammed with each and every like I receive (I'm talking about Instagram, where I had the feeling they don't even check my photos! Too many likes in too short time can't be something serious right?).

Blogging from A to Z / Candy Crush Soda Saga level 1207

  Tomorrow marks a month since I started my gaming challenge . It's a wonder I finished a level almost every day. I mean I played every day, with some exceptions of either having a complete network failure or playing other games that day, butI never thought it's possible to win a level on no matter which of the games you own. Keep in mind that what I screen recorded until now are pay-to-win games . It means , game companies either give you way to less bonuses to play a game with, which you have to wait and just log in every day for few days to collect bonuses for a round to play, or you pay an obscene amount of money for some extra bundles. Now I never thought I could blog about a single subject, every day, for a year. The truth is, I can't and I don't want to. My blogging challenge is an excuse to promote my photography, share some other kind of stuff completely different froom gaming and making this experience of blogging regularily. It's not difficult to blog re...

Survive at least one month quarantined

Let's make it clear from the start: it's easy for a hermit to love being alone. Unfortunatelly I read in the news or my friends post how bored people in general are because they must drink coffee at home instead in a cafĂ©. Anyway, I challenged myself to blog and vlog my quarantine life for a month. Documenting my lifestyle blog 😒 Today, 15.06.2020: I sleep a lot and I am glad I discovered sleep since the corona crisis. Corona crisis hit me like " the oncoming train " and I realized I missed sleeping a lot. It also made me realize those new consumerism stuff aren't that new anymore. They recyle old themes with a horn blasting sound and dazling visual effects but there's no soul in that movie or music video; so I go back in the 70's or 80's. I actually watched any KaurismĂ€ki film I could find on youtube (planning to order a collection of movies by KaurismĂ€ki). I listened to old rock 'n roll songs and honestly I felt instantly better. I feel goo...

Book review: #amreading Die Musik des jenseits by Carolin Sandner

What do you do after reading series? You read  your Facebook friend 's book , because why not: the plot sounds interesting, your husband is probably a hobby music producer and you always wanted to know how some rock bands can create such mysterious music videos about sadness, drugs, hallucinations or suicide. Little spoiler alert, those musicians wrote how they felt, so next time be careful when using terms like emo  for goth or for experimental music Ă  la Bjork , or so. If you check Carolin Sandner's Facebook profile you will see she shares great ballads from bands I only heard them once or twice, but almost never on regular music channels. I started reading Carolin Sandner's book on 13th November (no pun intended) and I read to page 34 from the start. It's a good sign, because I usually read that much in such a short time if a certain book is fast paced with a slow motion effect. Not dwelling on details, using as less words as possible to describe a scene is for...
