Last summer, I shot this assignment in Uster for Education Permanente magazine, in collaboration with Völlm + Walthert. I accompanied Marianna Ogbuchi and Esmil Yasin for a few hours on the premises of also!, an organisation which helps integrating people living off of welfare back into a professional environment. It was a super interesting day! Thanks, EP, and VW, and also! Here's the issue online.

Great things are happening with The Lesbian Lives Project. First of all, the series from South Africa was recently selected for the Swiss Photo Award exhibit, and It's Nice That published a feature on the project. And: Woo-hoo, the website is finally live! Check it out here.

My favourite photograph I took this year—or maybe ever—is a picture that's only for me. I waited five months to shoot it, and then I promised the person in the photo not to show it to anyone, so it's just sitting on a hard drive. Every once in a while I look at it when I'm alone. I'm so glad I took it, and it reassures me, but every viewing reminds me of that time that's gone, and then my heart breaks a little. Photography can be so intimate, and so melancholy: Every time I press the shutter, it's an acknowledgement that the moment I've just photographed has passed.
