PRIVATE OPERATIONS APP
About WWC Dashboard, the control panel that keeps the paperwork mostly housebroken.
WWC Dashboard is Mike Kohlbecker's private Mac application for operating Walking With Camera. It helps Mike process local photo and video work, prepare website updates, run governed checks, and manage Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube workflows for his own Walking With Camera accounts.
Public-service announcement from the Department of Extremely Necessary Fine Print: WWC Dashboard is not a public product. There is no public sign-up, no public login, no customer account portal, and no velvet rope with a suspiciously optimistic bouncer.
Who owns and operates it
Walking With Camera and WWC Dashboard are owned and operated by Mike Kohlbecker. Walking With Camera is Mike's personal photography project and public website. WWC Dashboard is the private operational tool Mike uses behind the scenes.

What WWC Dashboard does
The Dashboard organizes the practical work of Walking With Camera: processing local working files, preparing photo and video records, reviewing gallery candidates, writing editable website changes when approved, checking the local website, and preserving audit records so Mike can tell what happened without summoning the Ancient Spreadsheet of Regret.
It is not a social network, not a public analytics product, not a public media uploader, and not a place where visitors create accounts. It is Mike's private command center for Mike's own content.
Facebook and Instagram integrations
The Dashboard uses Meta APIs for Mike's Walking With Camera Facebook Page and linked Instagram professional account. It checks Page and account identity, reads scheduled and recent Page-post records, prepares Mike-reviewed schedule plans, schedules approved Facebook posts, creates approved Instagram photo or carousel jobs through a protected backend, verifies publication identities, and stores workflow records needed for recovery and scoring.
Facebook and Instagram data are used for Walking With Camera operations only: scheduling, publishing, read-back verification, recovery, and Mike's internal content scoring. The Dashboard does not give public users access to Meta data and does not use Meta data to profile website visitors.
YouTube integration status
The Dashboard's YouTube section is for the Walking With Camera YouTube channel. The source now includes channel verification, private video upload, thumbnail upload, video read-back, and local Watch the Walks website-entry work using YouTube Data API access.
Current status, with the confetti vacuumed up: WWAS marks the YouTube API design approved, but public scheduling acceptance is not complete. Google OAuth is still in External Testing and the unaudited API project is private-only, so WWC Dashboard must not be described as production-ready for public YouTube scheduling yet.
The Dashboard does not collect YouTube Analytics, engagement metrics, comments, or performance scores. It uses YouTube access to work with Mike's own channel videos, not to inspect visitor accounts.
Private access
WWC Dashboard is private. It has no public registration and no public access. It exists so Mike can run Walking With Camera without turning every photo walk into a twelve-tab administrative interpretive dance.
And if you would like access to WWC Dashboard, our customer service department has prepared this brief, heartfelt, legally non-binding response:
This joke is only about public access to Mike's private Dashboard. Privacy questions, deletion requests, and accessibility needs still get the grown-up answer: email michael@walkingwithcamera.com. The mascot has been instructed to put on a cardigan and behave for those.
Privacy and support
The Dashboard's data practices are explained in the Walking With Camera Privacy Policy. That page covers website contact data, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, storage, providers, revocation, deletion, and the practical limits of deleting audit records without pretending the universe runs on a big red "undo" button.
