@IndieWebCamp Austin, facilitating a session on All Things Photos.
E.g. taking photos, curating, editing, posting.
My incremental #indieweb #photo workflow:
๐ท take photos in the moment, but not post*
๐ผ 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)
โค๏ธ favorite photos, in the iOS Photos app, that I want to actually consider posting publicly, or perhaps uploading e.g. to a wiki
โ๐ป edit photos, e.g. rotate & crop, especially favorited photos, to align the horizon, crop out extraneous/distracting things, etc.
๐๐ป choose a favorited photo from that day as my main photo to post
๐ write a narrative caption based on that photo
๐ more photos: 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
๐ฎ post that photo or multiphoto post (its own process)
โก unfavorite the photos I posted, except those I might want to view or show to friends later
Iโm 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!
*I donโt post photos in the moment any more in order to stay present in whatever Iโm actually doing IRL. Instead at "in between times" like standing in line, or on transit, I take incremental steps towards publishing photos.
