Send your day

Your photos and words become the log — and the book.

Straight from your camera roll. They send from this page — you can watch them go.

One tap — before or after you send

What are these, mostly?

Tap a word now and your next send is filed that way; tap after and it applies to what just went. Racing somewhere — Berlin, Paris, anywhere? Tap an event and give its name: it gets a page of its own, like Beach2Beach and Ballarat.

The quote of the day

Anything to say about today?

The black book

Somewhere worth keeping — a table, a stay, a person. Name only; we will ask you about it properly later.

Clocked a lap? Put it on the board

The ritual is fixed: the long lap first, then the short. Whatever you clock on the long, the short’s target is half of it. Beat the half and the board marks it.

The date is set to today — change it if you’re owning up late. Type the digits and the page puts the colon in. One lap is fine; the reverse course keeps its own board. Times go up on The Clock after the studio’s next pass, by lunchtime the following day.

Your line on The Runners page

Every runner gets a card and a line. Write yours, or rewrite it whenever the old one stops being true. Two sentences is plenty; first name and initial is how the page knows you.

Goes up on The Runners after the studio’s next pass. The latest line you send is the one that stands.

Take one of mine out of the log

No reason needed, no one is told. Open the gallery, tap the photograph, and it comes out — off the pages, out of the slideshow, out of the book. Nothing is ever really deleted, so it can always come back.

“In the log” means it’s safely with the studio. Photos appear in the gallery and on the pages after the studio’s next pass — by lunchtime the following day, never instantly. That’s the craft, not a fault.

Uploading needs internet. No signal out on the headland? If you have the Google Drive app, add shots anyway — they queue and send themselves by the time the coffees arrive.

On a phone? The button opens the folder in the free Google Drive app — install it and sign in with any Google account (one minute, once). Get the app: iPhone · Android. On a computer, the button works straight in the browser.
