The document provides guidelines for organizing existing monument photographs. It describes a multi-step process: 1) renaming photos using a standardized naming convention for easy sorting, 2) sorting photos into a photo organizing software called Jetphoto, correcting the date automatically input by cameras, and 3) preparing knowledge by reading relevant documents to help assess photos qualitatively and determine if any new photos should be added.

Step
1:
Renaming
Photos
It
is
necessary
to
rename
photos
so
that
they
can
easily
be
sorted
and
a
qualitative
analysis
performed.
This
first
step
is
very
labor
intensive.
Photos
should
be
renamed:
Site
-‐
PhotoPoint#
-‐
Date
(yyyy/mm/dd)
eg:
SC-‐001-‐20120120
Try
batch-‐renaming
software,
though
there
might
be
limitations.
(I
have
not
tried
it,
but
it’s
worth
a
shot
before
you
go
through
and
rename
photos
manually)
There
are
often
duplicate
photos.
Please
make
sure
that
every
photo
is
named
correctly
and
there
is
only
one
photo
per
Site
area
per
week.
The
date
used
should
always
fall
on
a
Friday.
For
the
sake
of
keeping
the
photos
organized
and
ensuring
that
there
is
a
photo
record
for
every
week,
Faniswa
names
every
photo
as
if
it
was
taken
on
that
Friday,
even
if
it
was
taken
earlier
in
the
week.
This
information
is
important
because
you
will
have
to
manually
reset
the
date
that
is
loaded
into
Jetphoto
by
the
camera
in
order
to
keep
everything
consistent.
(Don’t
worry!
It’s
easy
to
do!)

Step
2:
Sorting
Photos
into
Jetphoto
Create
a
new
album
Name
your
new
album
3. Import
photos
into
the
album
Observe
the
calendar
date
that
photos
are
sorted
into-‐
It
is
indicated
here
by
the
red
triangle
on
November
6.
(This
is
the
date
the
camera
inputs
for
when
the
photo
was
taken.)
4.
Here
is
where
you
must
correct
the
date
imputed
automatically
by
the
camera.
Select
the
photos
that
you
would
like
to
adjust.
1) Select
the
calendar
date
–
push
on
the
red
triangle
2) Push
Ctrl
+
A
to
select
all
photos
taken
on
that
day
(notice
how
only
photos
from
that
day
are
highlighted)
Find
the
gear
icon
and
select
“Correct
Capture
Time
for
Selected
Photos…”
5. Adjust
the
number
of
days
so
that
the
photos
are
recorded
on
the
appropriate
Friday
date.
In
this
case,
I
am
subtracting
1
day
since
the
camera
reports
the
photo
was
taken
on
a
Saturday.
Notice
that
there
are
now
two
triangles.
In
order
to
fix
this,
make
sure
you
keep
the
photos
highlighted
that
you
just
adjusted.
(Do
NOT
push
anything
on
the
screen
otherwise
you
will
have
to
re-‐
highlight
the
photos)
6. Go
straight
back
to
the
gear
icon.
Select
“Arrange
all
photos
by
time.”
Problem
fixed!
The
photos
are
now
loaded
correctly
onto
Jetphoto.
Step
3:
Knowledge
Preparation
for
Qualitative
Analysis
Once
you
have
all
photos
renamed
and
loaded
correctly
into
Jetphoto,
you
can
start
the
qualitative
analysis.
Before
you
do
this,
it
is
necessary
that
you
read
some
important
documents.
7. Reading
the
Urban
Design
Framework
for
that
particular
Site
will
give
you
insight
into
what
the
original
team
hoped
to
capture
when
choosing
the
monument
photo
points.
Keep
in
mind
that
the
points
were
chosen
a
few
years
ago,
likely
before
projects
were
implemented
(based
on
predictions
of
what
would
happen)
and
have
not
been
reviewed
since
then.
Often
things
don’t
happen
according
to
the
timeframe
set,
due
to
political
reasons
in
the
community
or
other
factors.
Therefore,
you
will
have
to
review
whether
the
photos
are
still
relevant
based
on
what
is
happening
presently.
Knowledge
of
the
original
Urban
Design
Framework
will
be
particularly
useful
when
you
are
deciding
on
which
photos
to
keep
and
whether
new
photos
should
be
added
to
the
Monument
Photo
record.
Reading
Urban
Design
Principles
of
a
Safe
Neighborhood
is
useful
for
assessing
the
photos
based
on
whether
they
follow
the
7
safety
principles
of
design.
While
it
is
very
difficult
to
draw
concrete
corollaries
from
Monument
Photos
that
VPUU
interventions
promote
“social
change,”
or
increase
neighborhood
safety,
by
showing
how
VPUU
designs
use
general
safety
principles
of
design,
it
is
possible
to
draw
this
conclusion
in
the
qualitative
assessment.
You
can
also
read
the
Logical
Framework
Indicators
in
preparation
for
the
Qualitative
Analysis,
but
understanding
of
this
is
not
as
useful
or
important
as
the
other
documents.

8. Step
4:
Performing
a
Qualitative
Analysis
of
Each
Photo
You
are
now
ready
to
perform
an
analysis
of
each
photo
series
taken
per
site.
First,
organize
the
photos
according
to
photo
number
9. Next
you
should
go
through
each
photo
series
(ex:
all
001)
and
mark
the
ones
that
you
believe
tell
a
good
story-‐
whether
that
be
because
they
relate
to
the
Urban
Design
Framework
or
illustrate
principles
of
safe
design.
In
the
search
bar
(magnifying
glass
icon),
input
the
first
part
of
the
photo
name.
Omit
the
date.
Ex:
SC-‐005
Press
Enter.
Notice
that
SC-‐005
photos
are
in
color
and
all
other
photo
series
are
blacked
out.
Next
select
all
the
SC-‐005
photos
by
pushing
Ctrl
+
A
10.
Double
click
on
one
of
the
photos
for
a
larger
image
of
the
series.
Use
arrow
keys
to
move
from
picture
to
picture.
11. Create
a
tag
for
photos
that
you
would
like
to
review
again
later.
Not
all
photos
in
the
large
photo
series
will
be
useful
so
you
must
choose.
In
the
keyword
section,
double
click
to
edit
a
line.
Name
the
line
accordingly.
Ex:
#5
(representing
SC-‐005
photos
of
interest)
Make
sure
you
check
the
box
next
to
the
keyword.
You
can
also
take
notes
in
the
notes
tab
above
the
keywords.
This
will
be
useful
when
you
would
like
to
make
your
final
qualitative
analysis.
12.
Later
you
can
search
and
review
the
photos
that
you
marked.
In
the
search
tab,
search
by
the
keyword
(Ex:
#5).
Push
Ctrl
+
A
to
highlight
those
photos.
Notice
how
the
photos
you
marked
are
highlighted
and
the
others
blacked
out.
You
can
double
click
on
one
of
the
photos
to
again
view
a
bigger
version
of
the
selected
photos.
You
can
use
your
arrow
key
to
move
between
selected
photographs.
This
will
be
useful
for
reading
notes
that
you
might
want
to
use
when
you
do
the
overall
qualitative
analysis.
13.
Step
5:
Summarizing
Analysis
of
Each
Photo
Series
Now
that
you
have
written
notes
for
each
individual
photo
linking
it
to
the
Urban
Design
framework
and
Safety
Principles,
you
can
make
an
overall
assessment
of
each
photo
series
(eg
SC-‐001,
SC-‐002,
SC-‐003).
Please
refer
to
the
Excel
notes
for
the
qualitative
analysis
of
Site
C.
14.
Mention
a
location
for
the
photograph
(street
intersections)
and
show
a
picture
from
early
on
in
the
series
and
one
from
later
on,
to
demonstrate
physical
changes.
For
Example
SC-‐005
Off
Njongo
Str-‐
handrail
entrance
to
elevated
Nolungile
Railway
station
ramp
It
is
useful
to
have
an
overall
summary
of
what
each
photo
series
(over
the
3-‐4
year
period)
shows.
Overall
intervention
has
lead
to
greater
surveillance
and
visibility
as
entrance
space
has
opened
up
to
street
view
(clear
lines
of
sight)
and
also
allowed
for
maintaining
visual
connections
with
the
marketplace
vendors.
It
has
lead
to
defined
access
and
safe
movement
with
a
disability-‐friendly
railing
entrance
and
leveled
street.
Additionally
hazardous
exposed
metal
at
the
entrance
is
eliminated.
Surfaces
are
even
and
suitable
for
harsh
weather
(water
does
not
pool
or
make
entranceway
inaccessible).
Upgrading
to
concrete
from
dirt
entrance
also
improves
condition
of
railway
entrance
during
bad
weather
since
there
is
no
mud
(safety
hazard
and
uncomfortable).
The
intervention
has
also
created
defined
walkways
and
demarcation
between
vehicular
and
pedestrian
areas.
There
is
less
litter
than
before
perhaps
showing
public
pride
in
infrastructure.

Step
6:
Deciding
on
New
Monument
Points
You
have
examined
the
Monument
Photos
and
now
have
a
thorough
understanding
of
the
stories
each
series
tells.
It
is
useful
to
derive
information
from
this
comprehensive
photo
record
so
that
the
efforts
of
the
last
4
years
are
not
wasted.
However,
it
is
also
necessary
to
look
to
the
future.
In
this
next
step,
you
will
decide
if
these
photographs
are
still
useful
today-‐
which
points
to
keep
and
which
to
eliminate.
Please
review
the
Case
Study
Qualitative
Analysis
of
Site
C
before
you
begin.
Additionally,
it
is
useful
to
meet
with
the
Urban
Design
Team
to
find
out
what
is
currently
happening
at
that
Site
and
if
it
follows
the
Urban
Design
Framework
plans
or
if
things
have
changed.
The
following
check-‐list
will
be
very
useful
for
analyzing
existing
points
and
choosing
new
points.
Additionally,
you
can
make
suggestions
on
the
process:
eg
timeframes,
times
of
day
to
take
picture
Ask
input
of
urban
design
team
on
where
the
best
new
photos
could
be
taken
and
go
to
site
to
trial
pictures.
The
check-‐list
will
be
a
good
tool
during
this
phase.

Step
7:
Sharing
information
with
relevant
parties
It
is
important
to
share
information
with
both
Faniswa
and
the
field
workers
so
that
they
feel
included
in
the
process.
Since
your
assessment
may
drastically
change
what
the
fieldworkers
have
been
doing
for
the
last
four
years
(eg:
they
will
now
take
completely
different
photos),
it
is
good
to
explain
the
reasons
behind
the
changes.
• What
was
useful
about
the
photographs
field-‐workers
have
been
taking
since
2009?
• Why
is
VPUU
now
asking
them
to
take
different
photos?
This
step
is
crucial
to
allowing
field
workers
to
develop
a
sense
of
ownership,
which
may
help
with
Service
Provider
turnover.
Please
see
example

Presentation
to
Siko.

you
can
create
a
slideshow
to
show
to
others,
or
export
a
Flash
movie.
20.
Since
none
of
these
photos
are
GPS
located,
you
will
need
to
do
it
manually.
But
don’t
worry,
you
can
do
an
entire
series
(eg:
SC-‐001)
at
a
time.

Things
that
require
further
research:
• How
do
you
embed
this

onto
a
Webpage?
Does
it
have
to
do
with
an

• Can
you
include
