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.

Today’s question

Anything to say about today?

Somewhere worth keeping? Snap the menu, the room, the gate sign — and say the name. Restaurants, stays and the people you meet go in the Little Black Book, which is the page everyone ends up forwarding to friends.

The Black Book

Somewhere worth keeping. A name is enough — we’ll find the rest.

The first keeps it inside this trip and its book. The second lets Maison Gourraud pass it to the next people going that way — your name only if you want it there.

Open the Black Book — the addresses kept so far.

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. Signal comes and goes on the coast between towns. If you have the Google Drive app, add photos anyway — they queue and send themselves when the WiFi comes back at the minshuku.

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.
