Building in the open
I rebuilt this site over a weekend. The old one was a single photography page that worked fine, but it had quietly fallen out of date and there was nowhere to put anything that wasn't a photo.
The goals this time were small:
- One simple, dark homepage that points to everything
- A real place to write
- Keep the photography front and center
- Leave room to grow (a globe, eventually photos pinned to a map)
Keeping it simple
It would be easy to over-build a personal site. I tried not to. It's a handful of
pages, a serif I'm partial to, and a deploy script that does
git pull && build && restart. That's it.
If you're reading this, it's working.
