A travel journal
Photos from a phone, a few words each day, posted from the road.
On a trip, a laptop is extra weight and a website's editor is one login too many. A phone with the Drive app is enough: photos go into a folder, a sentence or two into a document, and the people at home follow along.

On the site
A row per trip, newest first. Every photo gets its own page, dated by when it was taken, not when it was uploaded, so a batch sent home on the last day still lands on the right days. A photo's description in Drive is its caption; IMG_4012 gets no title, since a camera's name for it means nothing to a reader. See Photos and images.
The same journal reads well as a blog: one column, newest first, every trip mixed in by date.
Good to know
- Photos are made in five sizes, so the site stays fast on a phone at home too
- The camera's location stays out of the site's images; the originals stay in Drive
- Wi-Fi only now and then? Upload when you can: the site follows within minutes
