Junk Drawer Photos
A long-running personal photo series and web project exploring the mundane beauty of literal junk drawers. I recently rebuilt this from a vanilla PHP monolith to a modern headless CMS architecture:
- Strapi CMS (self-hosted on Linode) manages the photo galleries and metadata via REST API
- A NextJS frontend (deployed on Vercel) delivers a responsive, accessible browsing experience with a custom Embla carousel.
- Built with TypeScript throughout, the decoupled stack provides editorial control and performance while maintaining the project’s minimalist documentary aesthetic.
