Why does this site exist?
I built this site for the same reason as so many other things: money. Or rather, the lack of it.
After more than a decade of paying SmugMug without earning a single penny from it, I finally decided to call it quits. With money running low, I used what little I had left to "hire" ChatGPT to build this site.
While I was at it, I also switched domains from documentary.vn to ongoing.photo.
I take ongoing to mean "not stopping yet." I think the name fits what I've done, what I'm doing, and what I'll do in the future: taking photographs, writing things down, and sometimes coming back for another look. Projects may remain unfinished, change direction, or be revisited and expanded years later.
The same goes for this site.
Welcome to ongoing.photo!
