Backlog Of Posts

List of things I will be posting…eventually. I’m so far behind, this is a way to shame myself into getting things done.

2016

Basically everything from my western US road trip. All the existing posts were done only with iPhone photos + iOS WordPress app and haven’t been processed. I have thousands of photos taken with a Sony a5000 that I have never even touched. Going to do add-on posts for all existing stops.

Older Stuff

  • Break apart currently published old posts into separate geo located posts for the map (a la 2009 U.P. trip)
  • Go through super old uncategorized photos that I never previously organized in Lightroom
  • Super-super old photo scans? Will I ever actually have time for that?
