I've written stuff, on and off, over the years about stuff I've done. I've not had anyone in mind when I've written stuff down, I've simply wanted to keep a record. I've taken photos and made videos of trips I've made - I've even kept diaries and journals of trips. For some years I've wondered what to do with all this stuff and have been thinking of ways of archiving the materials.
There are a number of reasons for bringing all this stuff together in one place.
- Being in one online space will make them more accessible to me and to others I might want to share with
- I can mix and match formats to add depth and context
- Currently, I've got some photos that could do with some narrative so that I can remember the context better. Adding reflections and background to images will also convey more meaning to other observers.
- Some videos I've produced more or less speak for themselves and might just be okay as standalone items. However, adding reflections and, possibly, external images and graphics can help contextualize the content.
- Reviewing content and sharing with others who may have been involved could lead to fresh insights which can then be documented.
- It gives me something to do during the cold, dark winter months as I look forward to a new season of biking and getting outdoors.
