Japan Trip — Photos

Geotagged photos from the trip, April 2026.

Research Notes

Photo Pipeline

- Photos sync from S24 via Syncthing over cellular to ~/Desktop/planet-media/island-phone-photos/ - GPS location tags enabled on S24 camera (turned on Apr 21) - Photos before Apr 21 have no GPS — in the "Unsorted" accordion below - aiprep-watch auto-resizes to 1500px on arrival - Place matching: compare photo GPS against known coordinates, match within 300m - Delete: hides via localStorage. Tell Claude "clean up deleted" to permanently remove from data.json

Sticky Notes Workflow

- Tell Claude which photo + what note to add (e.g. "the Apr 14 photo at 2pm — that's Toritake in Kanazawa") - Claude updates data.json with the note and place info, redeploys - Unsorted photos with location notes can be promoted to the main feed
