This week we also played around with Thinglink. I’m really excited about the annotation potential that Thinglink has, and I can actually see myself using this tool in my own research to keep track of individuals in portraits or other images and add in relevant information. Below I’ll embed some images that I’ve annotated. I took all the images using a GoPro on a trip to Bonaire I took back in 2016. I’m a big diver, so some are from dives I took around the island, and others are from little day trips we took on land. As a note, I tried to upload a video I took of a cute little sea horse I ran into on a dive, but I had trouble working with the video file and sharing it publicly. That was particularly frustrating since I had no trouble at all working with image files.

For context, Bonaire is a small island in the Caribbean right near Aruba. The country is a “special municipality” of the Netherlands.

I’ve had trouble embedding the Thinglink images in an aesthetically pleasing way (re: I can’t embed the images at all), which is also frustrating. But, I’ve included links below! Click on the image numbers and it will direct you to the various annotated images.
