About

Hello, it's Vincent.

I have been experimenting for a while with what to do with photographs. I like photos in a series. Chained together they have a better chance of meaning something to another human. That's my goal.

I have made a few photobooks. They take time and cost a lot of money, but they are worth it. For smaller stories—perhaps eight or twelve images—I haven’t yet found a satisfying way to share them with friends and family. The family blog is too personal, Instagram is too small. Field Notes is my continuing attempt at sharing stories in a custom built website.

  • The underlying code is written in TypeScript, in collaboration with Codex.
  • Astro Assets and Sharp convert the high-resolution JPEG masters into responsive images for different screens.
