Photos was a simple webpage where you could view my photos.

Taking time to appreciate the world around us fills me with joy. That is why I like to go on walks with a camera. I might not end up with great photos. Nonetheless, I usually end up with some inspiration regarding my current or next project.

As for the webpage, a Webpack script generated the site from the photos in a directory. Automatic resizing to multiple quality settings was also part of the pipeline.
