@IndieWebCamp Austin, facilitating a session on All Things Photos.
Everything from taking photos, curating, editing, and posting.
My #indieweb #photo "workflow" involves many incremental steps.
* take photos in the moment, but not post, in order to stay present in whatever I’m actually doing
And then at "in between times" like standing in line, or on transit:
* curate photos, e.g. delete duplicates or non-HDR versions (or keep the non-HDR version if it was sharper, less blurry, or if the HDR versions had weird motion artifacts)
* favorite photos, in the iOS Photos app, that I want to actually consider posting publicly, or perhaps uploading e.g. to a wiki
* edit photos, e.g. rotate & crop, especially favorited photos, to align the horizon, crop out extraneous/distracting things, etc.
* choose a favorited photo from that day as my main photo to post
* write a narrative caption based on that photo
* include more favorited photos if they make sense as part of the narrative
* perhaps seek out more (non-favorited) photos to help illustrate the narrative
* post that photo or multiphoto post (its own process)
* unfavorite the photos I posted, except those I might want to view or show to friends later
I’m looking to simplify my process where I can, as it often takes me up to half an hour to actually get from curating my photos to posting a particular (multi)photo post!
