corviI have a boring tumblr account where I keep track when we worm the goats and how long the bees hibernate and that kind of stuff, plus a daily picture taken while I am out doing chores from the nice point and shoot camera juli got me, because I do a better job actually having the motivation to keep records when I am convinced someone else might see it somehow. :)
I was curious if there were seasonal color patterns in the daily pictures - more grey in winter, flower colors in spring, etc - so I wrote a Processing sketch that downloaded a year's worth of pictures and extract colors from them and put them in a circle.
Winter = right, fall = down, summer = left, spring = up, each radial line is a day.
So the answer is ... not really. I basically post pictures of grey things and green things no matter what time of year it is. Probably living somewhere with actual seasons would help.
So now I have this script, I thought I would hit a couple other people's picture-happy tumblr accounts and see what it looked like.
juli 's last year of images:
A tumblr devoted to exploring (dark) abandoned buildings:
The National Archives official tumblr, lots of old yellow paper and black and white photos.
A tumblr about cheese:
Haven't been able to find a tumblr with a good seasonal color variation, though, which was the whole point.
