72 years ago today, "A Star Is Born" premiered in #Hollywood. As you know, my website is #photography focused - but a few hidden pages of #easteregg content include a page about this movie that I had originally made in 1997 for my first #website. #classicmovies www.norbertwoehnl.com/3mtpzv4znoc2n

Today, I sold all my #filmphotography equipment, including my beloved Mamiya 6. It felt very sad, but it was the right thing to do for me. Will probably do a write-up on the topic in the next weeks. Still got a huge film photo backlog left to post. ✌️ #photography www.norbertwoehnl.com/3mojhnrl44s24

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

30 years ago, I took this photo of Lower Manhattan on a Circle Line Tour. 5 years later - 25 years ago today - I was on a conference call at work with American colleagues, when all of a sudden horror-stricken screams came through from the other end of the line. www.norbertwoehnl.com/3msaeqkfgvc2l

So happy with my choice of @leaflet.pub as a publishing tool for my photography website. They keep making a great product even better - the addition of a search function and tag filtering is a godsend to interact with the more than 900 posts on my site.

Hello from #Japan! Riding the subway to work this morning reminded me of this photo I once took at #Nagoya Station, so I chose it as today’s new image for my #photoblog.

I've well and truly had enough of selling on Etsy. Ten years of fees, algorithm changes and now watching the place fill up with AI generated listings while genuine makers don’t stand a chance.
