I’m Lars Mensel and this is a place to keep track of what I’m noticing. Currently I think a lot about photography, generative AI, and the culture wars.

Presently

I keep busy with a variety of ongoing projects:

1. I’m 1/3 of studio~humm, an independent brand design studio in Berlin.
2. I collect inspiration on Are.na.
3. I upload pictures on the oldschool photo-sharing site Flickr.
4. Each year, I try to rack up 4000 km on my bike.
5. Available Light is my (dormant) project exploring the culture, history, and madness of photography.

I used to work as an editor at the magazine The European (now defunct), as a content designer at the photography company EyeEm and at IBM iX, authored two books of the Startup Guide series, and created the magazine The Idea List.
