How to keep track of what I see??
As I go about life I often see interesting vehicles in fields, sheds, forests, etc., but having no time to stop and investigate I make a mental note to come back later when I have the time. When "later" finally arrives I can see the vehicle as clear as day in my mind, but I'll be damned if I can remember where I saw it. Anyone else have this issue and if so how do you keep track of what you saw and where you saw it?

Scored a 1951 MG-TD
A couple of days ago a barnfinder friend told us about a guy who knew where there was a British car of some sort. Short story shorter we talked to the guy who took us out to see what was there. Turned out to be a 1951 MG-TD in remarkable shape thanks to having been stored inside, out of the weather since 1973. As seen in the photos the paint is beyond repair, but we can paint it in my shop and the only rusted hole is about the size of my pinky finger just by the right side front headlight bar mount.
The hole on the right fender is seen in this photo

I'm a lifelong gearhead and I've lost count of how many times I've spotted an interesting vehicle, driven on, and later found myself completely unable to recall where I saw it.
So I did what any slightly obsessed person would do — I built an app to solve it.
PhotoLog is an Android app that captures geotagged photos with automatic GPS coordinates, lets you attach typed or voice-dictated notes at the moment of capture, and makes every image instantly searchable by keyword or date. You can also export a complete Field Report as a ZIP file containing all your images and data.
It started as a personal tool for tracking barn finds and interesting vehicles. Turns out it's equally useful for property inspectors, wildlife photographers, researchers, site surveyors — anyone who wants or needs to document what they found and exactly where they found it.
It's free to try with no credit card required. I'm currently in beta and would love some feedback from fellow makers.
photolog.ca — the site has a full walkthrough video if you want to see it in action.
