Design & Architecture

  1. Manifest-Driven Catalog: The viewer parses data directly from content/data/photos.json. Dates, titles, subjects, and camera settings remain separated from display templates.
  2. Camera Telemetry Inspector: Extracts and displays Sony A7 IV metadata, including lens specifications (e.g. 35mm f/1.8), aperture settings, shutter speeds, and ISO values for each exposure.
  3. Dual Storage Resolution: Web-optimized preview assets are loaded for fast browsing, while direct action links connect to full-resolution RAW captures stored in Google Drive.
  4. Keyboard & Touch Navigation: Supports arrow keys, filmstrip clicks, full-screen toggle, and light/dark theme switching.
