A short fretless waltz

Ok ok, I get it. Until now it’s just a single bass. But this is how templates are started within Wikiloops, and given the first very positive reactions, I’m hoping that someone might pick up on this:

Another cat just wowed me. Again.

If you thought that my post from yesterday showed some good bass player, you’re right. But listen to this one:

Esperanza – Body & Soul

Amazing, isn’t she? That’s maybe why she played in the white house in front of a president who knew good music (I bet he still does, but he’s not a president anymore).

Thanks for listening.

Years in hex

I’m using hexadecimal numbers at Flickr, as prefix for the year in which I took my photos. And I just thought:

Hi, I’m Wolfgang. I was born in 7a5. Now we have 7e3, so that makes me 3e years old. See, I’m still young – in 2 years from now I’ll be 40…

Sounds fun, hm? 🙂

A photo of Tuna from today (March 21st, 2019)

Switched on two of my studio strobes and took my camera out, then I got down on eye level as usual:

Tuna the cat, Moerfelden-Walldorf 2019

Taken with the “kit zoom” at 31mm, but cropped a little more during post production. Midtoned as usual.

Thanks for viewing.

Planned outage of de.wikipedia.org

As announced, the German Wikipedia is off today:

I had followed and supported the change.org call and petition already:

But like suggested from Wikipedia, I also wrote to some (German) politicians who hopefully will represent us all against this planned censorship.

And if you’re a democrat, you should probably think about this as well. Thanks for your consideration.

P.S.: got a first answer from one of the parliamentarians already. Which shows that democracy actually works, it’s only up to ourselves to become active, and do the first (baby-) steps…
