I've been working on my photobooks whilst Suzanne is in Europe to walk part of the Santiago de Compostela pilgrim trail. There's been lots of rain in southern France in the early spring and the mud is everywhere.
Whilst working on the photobooks I have found that the Posterous micro publishing software allows me to go back to an old post and add large photos to it. In contrast, though Tumblr allows me to edit the text and swap a large photo in an old post, it does not allow me to add additional large pictures. So I cannot build upon the initial sketch in an old post.
I didn't really know much about either publishing platform when I started the photobooks so I decided to experiment with them. I started a different book on each one to see how things turned out. It then took me a while to get used to the software.
Unfortunately, the Adelaide book was started on the Tumblr publishing platform, and its that book that I want to add photos to. So I've started the process of moving the old material of the Adelaide book from the Tumblr platform to the Posterous one.
I have found that Tumblr is much more suited to posts of individual image and minimal text. So I'm reworking the early posts on the old Tumblr blog for an 'on the road' book. Most of the pictures for this book will come from my archives that have been built up from various trips over the years.
