photography, writing, music and other stuff
Hi! My name is George but I go by Grimm online. This is my photography portfolio, project archive and personal website.
The desktop contains my photographs, poems, writing, music and other things I have made and will make.
Feel free to use the links above or explore the computer yourself. Some parts of the website are more useful than others. See what you can find...
Thanks for visiting!
I pair photos of streetsigns with short phrases or poems. What kind of sign does a sign show?
Added new photographs, updated the project folders and changed the wallpaper again.

This website is a digital portfolio designed to be presented as an old Windows XP computer.
It contains my photography, personal notes, poetry, music and ongoing creative projects. I plan to keep adding to it as my work develops. It is worth noting that many files on the computer exist purely for world-building and immersion, I want it to FEEL like this is a teenager's computer from the mid 2000s. That said, my work is easy to find.
The operating-system design is inspired by early personal websites, family computers and that strange, cheap, handmade feeling of the old web. I am a huge fan of 2000s aesthetics and felt like I should implement this into my portfolio. I wanted the site to function as a digital hub for all of my work, a collection of my creative exploration.
To put the website together, I made use of templates I could find from various sources, ranging from GitHub downloads to simple free templates. I also explored many old websites from the 2000s via websites like GeoCities Archive and Internet Archive to either gather inspiration or pinch code itself. I knew very little about coding prior to starting this project so I needed a solid start point that I could build on, though I will say that I have learned much from this and I am comfortable enough with HTML to add to the website without much exterior help!
My artist statement will go here when I come up with one.
I love to implement surrealism, dark themes, strange imagery and poetry into my work.

notes, shoots and unfinished thoughts
The photo used for the desktop wallpaper is one I took when out on my bike with my friend. We passed a bus stop that sat just before a corner and I found it to feel incredibly liminal. It's one of my favourite photos that I have taken so far.
The photo is unedited and was taken on my Nikon D3200

The stone well at the centre of Antlerwood is currently undergoing preservation work.
For safety reasons, residents must maintain a distance of 5 metres from the well at all times.
Do not throw coins, stones or other objects into the well.
Preserving the traditions that bind our community together.
The first permanent houses were constructed around the woodland clearing during the late nineteenth century by our founders, praise be to their legacy.
Antlerwood has remained largely isolated from nearby communities. We are a family, outsiders are highly frowned upon.
Important structures include: The Church, The Hall, The Well, The Hill
The well predates the surviving houses and sits in the very centre of our commuinity. It is our heart, in every sense of the word.
Early residents believed its water supported the health of the surrounding woodland. The roots of several old trees converge beneath the clearing in which it stands. It supports our environment and we must ensure it's influence can grow and spread.
βWhat is returned below is restored above.β
The meaning of this inscription is vital, if you do not recall it you must visit the Stag at first notice.
Animal masks are worn at all times. Each represents a role/reflection rather than an individual person.
You are not to remove your mask in public spaces. All individuals must be referred to by the likeness of their mask. Use of dead names is grounds for cleansing.
You are not a local. Get off of our page.

Assemble at the church before the final light. A new rabbit has gotten into the garden.
Many have reported voices from the well. You must listen. Our time draws near.
