How might wiki offer views into our recorded lives that include the touch of the creator not present in commercial photo applications?
.
Various themes run through our work. When we give them names and apply them to images then we can present them with examples as a gateway to discovery.
.
We occasionally create additional pages that reuse daily challenge photos when details should not be forgotten.
.
Photos are grouped by their distance from my home. These correspond roughly to travel by socks, shoes, bicycle, car and airplane.
.
An undirected sequence offers a passive view of the total collection. Hover offers more insight by showing tags present or page titles when meaningful. A click can open related details in an adjacent page.
.
We resist systematically naming pages but when our goal is a routine practice then for recording purposes at least exploiting the system makes sense. Samples make this less tedious.
.
We identify images where the vanishing point appears within the field of view. When this comes from horizontal lines we call it "outward", for verticals we use "upward" or "downward".
.
Within a month or two we became serious about selecting a subject for the week. Now half way through the year we find that some weeks go well with others in a lineup.
.
I stopped to photograph a neighborhood little library with the door open and the available titles visible. I've noticed more of these recording each as I find them.
.
Zoom the map to show a region. Then find all daily photos taken within that region.
