Pi Photo Shuttle sits between photography and infrastructure. The practical goal is simple: move images from camera to laptop quickly enough that event work can be reviewed, selected, and delivered without waiting for a manual card workflow.
Where it is now
The project is an active hardware/workflow concept in the T-drive project set. It belongs beside BamPav because it solves the same operational problem from a different angle: not just making images, but moving them through a usable pipeline.
The barriers
The barriers are reliability, ergonomics, and field conditions. A transfer tool has to be boring in the best way. It has to survive awkward venues, mixed networks, battery constraints, file naming, and photographer impatience.
How I am approaching it
The approach is to treat it as a productised workflow rather than a gadget. The shuttle only matters if it reduces friction at the event: capture, transfer, review, select, process, deliver. The long-term value is not the board; it is the shortened path from shot to usable asset.
