 ## Summary
+- Added a proper Photography project entry so Merlin Console can show it as active.
+- Master of Photography [status: active] [tags: photography, agenda, planning] → Restored the earlier planning content as a clean linked summary entry so it appears on the project page.

+  Primary focus
+  - cars first
+  - landmarks second
+  - community life third
+
+  Location roles
+  - Catoosa = landmark opener / sunrise / early morning / Blue Whale
+  - Tulsa = main event / cars / scale / mid-day to afternoon
+  - Sapulpa = downtown community atmosphere / golden hour / blue hour closer
+
+  Best light opportunities
+  - sunrise: Catoosa
+  - late morning / afternoon: Tulsa for parade and car coverage
+  - golden hour / blue hour: Sapulpa downtown
+  - night fallback: Catoosa if fireworks or stronger landmark night finish is available
+
 ## Conversations
+- Merlin Console / Photography → Tom asked why the Photography project was not showing as active; the cause was that there was no structured `## Projects` entry with an active status.
+- Photography [status: done] → Done for this project
+
 ## Decisions
+- Track Photography as a structured project in the daily log so its status appears correctly in Merlin Console.
+
 ## Projects
+- Photography [status: active] [tags: photo, merlin-console] → added a structured project entry so Merlin Console recognizes it as an active project.
+- Master of Photography [status: active] [tags: photography, agenda, planning] → restored as a tracked project and linked to the recovered May 30 visual strategy summary.
+- Photo - CTS [status: active] [tags: Catoosa, Tulsa, Sapulpa] → Create new sub-project for Catoosa, Tulsa, Sapulpa shoot.
