Photography Popup #1

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!

P.S.

Looking for inspiration? The photo page on the IndieWeb wiki is a great place to start.
