Actually I had said to myself that I would not fall into an emptiness of blogging throughout the summer days. But it happened anyway. Well, technically I did not, since the last ten days were far away from a definition of Summer. The weather was lousy, many raindrops pattered on my windows at night (and day) and I bought winter boots. Gray clouds instead of bright sunshine. But today, on the first day of September, I return together with freshness on my blog: a Diary 2.0.

Some of you may know it by the title “Visual Diary” and have one yourself. The concept is pretty easy: take one photo each day, preferably with a smartphone and then upload it right away. My device is the Nokia XpressMusic 5800 – and I will try to take all the photos with it. But since I – currently – cannot afford a mobile contract with an internet flatrate, I will upload the photos from my laptop. In a combination with a smartphone, this actually sounds almost old-school. In the best case, I still manage to upload the photo every day.

“And why?”, you may ask. Much too frequently we forget the great small things in life, which happen every day – a date with a friend, a discovery or simply a good dinner. With a photo a day, it is easier to reflect and remember those things, which were very special in one, short moment. And: having it captured on a photo, the moment will last forever.

My Diary 2.0 can be found on top in the menu. Have fun with it and discover the world with me!
