What is the next step with regardable. de? ;-)
I am a German author and I have chosen the name "betrachtenswert.de" for my website and blog. betrachtenswert is a word for which there is more than one translation in English. You will therefore find a number of different terms in this text which I have deliberately not corrected.
You can use the Google Translate button to have the texts of this blog
translated into your language. I hope that the quality of the
translation will improve in the future and I would like to thank DeepL for the great help in translating this info page.

"worth looking at" is what marketing experts would call a belly-launch. This is a derogatory term for business concepts that have no clear positioning, "a colorful mixture of everything possible and impossible, without context."
That would bother the author if she had something to sell, but that's not the case. 😎 She just wants to play in her Villa Kunterbunt, she is curious, and she writes and photographs because she enjoys it.
A random panopticon
This blog is like the "miscellaneous" page in the daily press. There you'll find all the stuff that has no place in the classic categories anymore, or doesn't fit in anywhere anyway: The bizarre, the absurd, the serious, the beautiful, the everyday. Here you can be surprised like at a flea market, where old worn sneakers and Wolpertinger stand next to a designer bike, waiting to be discovered by enthusiasts.
Go on a journey of discovery
You as a reader are invited to create your very own context from the various elements gathered here. Be inspired, entertained or informed, and use them to further develop your own cosmos.
The visual and intellectual nourishment you will find here is free of charge and largely free of advertising. betrachtenswert is a non-commercial private opinion blog and reflects the personal view of the author - along with all the errors and misconceptions to which one can be subject as a normal mortal human being. You are welcome to quote, if you feel like it, then please cite the source.
Who is behind betrachtenswert?
Here writes an author who originally learned to be a translator and interpreter for the English language, specializing in technology, and worked in this profession for a while. At the same time she worked in smaller and larger companies. Along the way she continued her education, and in 2005 she started her own business as a photographer. Writing has always been a hobby, and so she became a photography writer in 2009. Together with her husband, a former police officer who later studied psychology and worked as a management trainer, she lives and works in the Obergiesing neighborhood of Munich. The fact that he is also a Zen teacher, has the 3rd Dan in Karate, and is probably aiming for the 4th Dan in Playstation games, expands the spectrum worth considering immensely.
After 19 book publications, there were profound changes in the private environment. During the Corona pandemic, the author's mother had a stroke. Since January 2021, home care and mother care have therefore come to the fore. The home office is located in the "mother's home," and on mother-free days, research and copywriting is done on the sofa in the marital living room.

There is a distance of 800 meters between the two locations, which on good days can be extended to walks or jogs within a radius of three kilometers: staying fit&healthy in the everyday blues, keeping a photo diary. Everything that a severely restricted everyday life brings in the way of interesting, absurd or funny experiences has the potential to end up here in the blog. It's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg, because a "mother's diary" is being created in parallel. Psychology is more than a hobby, and the practice of zazen, a Japanese form of mindfulness meditation, helps the author cope with personal and general crisis situations.

ABOUT betrachtenswert (2019 version) - How it all started
betrachtenswert.de was my first website, which went online in the summer of 2001. Today hardly anyone can imagine how the Internet worked and what it looked like back then. If you could see photos, they were small (640x480 pixels) or you used animated gif files to make the web pages look nice.
Imagine this like pictures from the 1970s. When you look at them, you rub your eyes in horror. What bizarre fashion, what horrible hairstyles. This is exactly how it works on the Internet: It is constantly being updated.
Technological change
When I created my first pages, digital cameras had a resolution of two to four megapixels - today we are at 20 and more. Digital single lens reflex cameras were wickedly expensive and very bad, so I scanned my analog photos and slides at that time. The social media were not yet invented, people weren't writing blogs, they were creating static websites. Amazon already existed at that time, but the net was not very interactive. It was slow!
The development accelerated dramatically in the mid-zero years: we got Facebook (2004), Youtube (2005) and Twitter (2006), the internet became faster and technological progress has continued unabated ever since. Anyone who has a page on the web must always update it to the latest technical standards and adapt its design to the spirit of the times. Many, especially private site operators were overwhelmed by this. Due to the frequent "Redesigns" unfortunately also many contents have disappeared from the net, links set years ago lead into the void. This development killed my site www.betrachtenswert.de in 2013. This web presence was the basis for my decision to start my own business.
The software I used to create my pages was no longer available. Consequently, I would have had to "touch" every single page and every single photo - a Sisyphean work. This blog was a temporary solution. Here I posted at least one photo every week between 2007 and 2012, it became my - mostly uncommented - photographic diary.
When the hobby becomes a profession
When I became self-employed, www.betrachtenswert.com became the main site in 2005. I was able to express my enthusiasm for writing elsewhere: Initially, they were articles at akademie.de, and from 2008 onward books were added for the Galileo publishing house, which is now called Rheinwerk.
Due to the intensive but also one-sided occupation with photo themes and cameras I am now known as Fotonanny and photo book author. I have always regretted the fact that I had no more free capacities for my magazine dealing with "The Art of Living". The site was very popular, had many views, and the newsletter had more subscribers than my Facebook page has today. The fans of that time were also interested in photography, but this is just one aspect of many which occupy me as a human being and as an author. I don't like to be stuck in drawers, even if they are nice drawers.
If you don't find here what you would expect from the photo book author Jacqueline Esen, then you are welcome to move on to one of my parallel universes:

Photography was only the tip of the iceberg at contemplative.de (also nice). To put it another way: There's a lot of untapped potential. To revive this magazine, I chose Blogspot, not the recommended Wordpress. Here I don't have to worry about technology and updates, but can concentrate on what I do best: Writing. For you as a reader, this page is also automatically optimized for the smartphone.
The classic design does not correspond to the current fashion, but that will change anyway.
