A note about pictures on this website

2026-08-29

I wanted images here to behave differently depending on why they are on the page. Some photographs are meant to be looked at. Those should stay still.

That image should not move. It is there because the photograph itself is the thing I want you to look at.

Other images are less serious: phone photos, screenshots, doodles, fragments, things that belong inside the thought rather than above or below it.

I may put one of those right here and let it float through the sentence. If you notice that it moves, try dragging it across the paragraph. The words should get out of its way rather than hiding underneath it.

This layout uses a precalculated contour slice derived at build time. No pixel scanning happens inside your browser, and no heavy layout library runs unless a page explicitly requests it.

This keeps the two modes strictly separated: formal photography blocks act as hard layout boundaries, while playful inline fragments live inside their own isolated flow regions.
