Photography Popup #1

The meeting link will be shown 15 minutes before the event

Our first IndieWeb popup event to share photos, talk about how we publish them on our own sites, and trade practical photography workflows.

Join us for a relaxed conversation about photography: taking and editing photos, sharing them on our own sites, and keeping them findable in the long run.

We’ll start with quick introductions, then do a round of “show & tell” and open discussion. You’re welcome to bring:

  • A photo (or small set) you’ve recently published or want to publish
  • A question about your photo workflow (editing, export, file naming, backups, etc.)
  • A question about integrating photos into your personal site (galleries, posts, feeds, IndieWeb tools)

No slides or formal talks required. Lurking and listening is also completely fine.

Possible topics

  • Phone vs camera workflows for the open web
  • Export settings, formats, and responsive images for blogs and galleries
  • Captions, alt text, and how to add context without overwhelming the image
  • Archiving, backups, and keeping old photos discoverable
  • IndieWeb-adjacent tools: blogs, photo logs, and photo-focused microsites

Who this is for

Anyone who:

  • Takes photos and wants more control over how they appear online
  • Wants to use their personal website (or start one) as a home for photography
  • Is curious how others in the IndieWeb community manage their photo workflow

All skill and experience levels are welcome, from “I mostly shoot on my phone” to “I’ve got a full static-site gallery setup.”

No need to RSVP; just show up!
