At Home He’s A Tourist – On the Road
My roadtrip postings will be republished in a seperate blog called “On the Road”. Makes it easier to read. Have fun!
Welcome to On the Road, where I’m blogging about my roadtrips. On the Road is a spin-off of my primary photo blog, At Home He’s A Tourist. Most entries will be reblogs, only with a fancy design!
Road to Scotland
I’m going to spend my summer vacation in the U.K. this year. My planned route looks like this:
Photos will follow in June 2013.
Long time no posting due to technical problems
Not much going on here recently; last time I published a photo on this blog was in January. Here’s why:
Posts to this blog used to be generated in a semi-automated process. A custom PHP script that I wrote looked up new photos in my Flickr stream, added some meta information taken from the photo’s EXIF data (such as date, time, and place the picture was taken, the camera that was used etc.) and queued the blog post to be published on touristathome.tumblr.com. All my PHP script had to do was calling some of the Tumblr API functions. Pretty straightforward.
A few weeks ago, Tumblr changed its authentification process. I’m currently struggling with the new Tumblr API and the OAuth authentification process to make my PHP script work again.
Others might encounter the same problem. Maybe the following links will help:

Marchand and Meffre's The Ruins of Detroit
Detroit used to be the industrial capital of the 20th century. Its decay is documented by French photographers Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre.
Marchand and Meffre write:
The state of ruin is temporary by nature, the volatile result of the end of an era and the fall of empires. […] Photography appeared to us as a modest way to keep a little bit of this ephemeral state.
The Ruins of Detroit is one the most beautiful photography books recently published.
