Projects focus me on a topic and force me to stay on it, until I have achieved my goal.
It started with two 365 projects on flickr. A 365 projects is about taking a shot for a specific topic each day in a years time span. Sounding easy, it gets hard work after the first three weeks. But looking back, it kept me going also beyond my perceived limits.
I photograph my wife Gisela Horat continouosly for her music and performances. That includes besides of pictures also video productions. The materials are used for covers, promotion and the web site of Gisela.
I produce every year a calendar for a specific topic. "Waterfalls in the Canton Uri" is the topic for 2022.

My book "Zürichs Telefonkabinen auf der Spur" has captured all existing public phones in the City of Zürich.
My second 365 project with a self chosen topic. I had at the end even a book in my hands with a selection of the best compositions.
My first 365 project. A "bokeh" is a rather new term to describe a composition with a shallow field of depth. So many things are blurry. You have to really take care of this bokeh, because otherwise, it will get boring after the first four weeks.
