I made myself a new website for my photography. I couldn't get any CMS or website builder to structure the data the way it made sense to me so I made it from scratch. #BelieveInFilm

@Gargron

Those are fine images, Eugen. Thank you for sharing them with us. I think that one sees into the photographer's heart through their images.

@Gargron there are some great photos on there. I always enjoy the programmer/arts crossovers.
@Gargron wow that works great on my android tablet.
@Gargron very good job! Simple and elegant. Also, beautiful photos!
@Gargron clean and elegant. Nice work!
@Gargron There is Cheveretto...
@Gargron
Richtig gute Fotos
Film ist eine besondere Leidenschaft, toll das du das noch machst und daran festhältst 👍

@Gargron I love your photos. Thanks for sharing them. Such a great sense of place and time, mood and color.

I also like your page solution. It seems very practical for various screen layouts. Did you build a UI for authoring too?

I’ve been having a similar problem. I also need an easy way to display text captions accessibly, per photo.

@Gargron the photos (and site) look great!
@Gargron IO200 is a very nice CMS for photographers. Self-hostable with low prerequisites, though not FOSS. 😕 The Need for your own photo place over pixelfed etc. is understandable. Its not enough to present photos in a kind of feed alongside creations of others. Especially if opening your archives it is good to publish the content with the correct date from the past. This CMS is derived from the great Koken which unfortunately disappeared. https://www.io200.com/

@Gargron clean and simple with focus on what is most important on your website - your photos. Like it much🙌

@Gargron Great job, minimalistic and usable!

I'm putting off building something like this for my sketches and paintings for years now. 🤫

@Gargron I too decided to just make one, a simple static one; I wish there were some decent static generator setups for photo websites, using git to publish stuff is not optimal.
@Gargron Really really nice, both site and images. Would like the same!
@Gargron did you consider a single-user instance of #pixelfed ?
@Gargron looks super clean! Honestly inspired me a bit to try to get my own photography on a site. Really like how the headers are done

@Gargron
Could you add an RSS feed or Activity pub? 

@eleventy is a very flexible way to create static websites. Maybe that works for you.

@Gargron Great work. What tools do you use? How are new albums created?

I'm still hesitant to create one. Basically because I have pretty complex ideas about what such a site should do: interface with Google Photos (my preferred photo management tool), handling all viewports (desktop, mobile) in a modern way, subscription to channels and/or tags, comments, purchase/print functionality, merchandize, etc.

Meanwhile my photography is here: @dvidschmdt (and on Facebook, Instagram and Pixelfed)

@Gargron I'm torn between congratulating on the work put in or sarcastically asking if it's the 14th or the 15th standard.
@Gargron can you share the tech specs … of the site you built? 🙂
