Blogger Highlight-Veselin

Thank you for all the great feedback on the Blogger Highlight series, I’ve enjoyed meeting each blogger and sharing their site with you. This week we highlight the blog Veselin. We have only followed each other briefly, but his photos grabbed my attention at first sight. His site isn’t just photography, he participates in The Daily Prompt, book reviews, and writes posts as well. 

 Veselin 

My name is Veselin Nikolov. I work as the lead of the WordPress.com MarTech team. My hobbies are Books and Walking. I’m active on X as dzver and on Goodreads. I am 45 and live in Sofia. I read, work, and try to be a good parent of my 2 kids.

Questions I asked Veselin

M. When did you get into photography and why?

V.  My blog is personal, I take these photos to capture some nice traces from my life. Things I saw. I know very little about photography, unfortunately, and rely on the iPhone camera to do the work for me.

M. Do you have a favorite photo or post?

V. Maybe this old post from 2018 on Active Listening:

M. Did you start counting your steps to lose weight and add a goal to your life?

V.  I’m a software engineer who works remotely. I don’t have many reasons to leave the room. This lead me to inactivity and health issues, and I didn’t even realize I’m doing it. I thought going to the gym is enough. It wasn’t. There’s no need for me to lose or gain weight, it’s a quality of life choice. I want to be able to climb mountains again, and at least to reach higher floors without an elevator. So the steps are a way to get there, and a an attempt to change my life. I am close to achieving my goal of averaging 10K steps/day over an entire year. For the next year, I have a peak 🙂

One of my recent favorite posts is Stop By.

I love this photo, it reminds me of my European travels. 

Be sure to stop by and say hello to Veselin, read through his archives, and be prepared to relax.
