Back to Blipfoto

Before there was Instagram & Co., there were sites like Blipfoto. I joined this very friendly Scottish photo community back in 2007! Recently, I’m trying to get back into the habit of posting just one single «Blip» per day (which must also be taken on exactly that day). Although I’ve been on Instagram from almost the very start, leaving over 5500 posts in the meantime, Blipfoto by now feels much more rewarding and relaxing. Lets see where this leads to. If you’re interested, follow me on Blipfoto.

Was mit Päckli-Packen zu Hause und Verteilen vor Ort begann, ist für ein Schweizer Ehepaar mittlerweile zum leidenschaftlichen Engagement für ein Schulprojekt unter den Ärmsten der Republik Moldau geworden.
