This is a test of the first post on my new photo blog.
These photos were taken last year (Summer of 2014) when Kim and I ate at the Jules Verne restaurant in the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Here's how it works:
- I take raw photos I want for a post from my dSLR and put them in a directory.
- I run a little script.
- It uses imagemagick to resize the huge original photos into smaller thumbnails and medium sized images which you see in the posts.
- It then uses s3cmd to upload all of the image assets to a public S3 bucket.
- It auto-generates the markdown of all of the photos so that I can paste it directly into the composer window for this blog
- The medium image previews link directly to the full-sized images on S3.
- I can then edit the post with extra text or add captions or whatever!
The main use-case I see for this photoblog is during travel. Each day I can quickly post photos without a hassle, and I have control over all my data!
