Background

ChrisOCPhoto (the original): It started with photography. I built my own portfolio from scratch because nothing else felt right for the work. It's still running, still home base.
ChrisOCDigital (where the code started): Building a better photo site turned into tools, scripts, and experiments. The dev side took hold and a body of work started taking shape.
Probably Fine Studios (now): When the projects needed a proper home, this became it: one studio name for everything I build, with AI in the loop and real products out the other end. Next up: more people.
