+## 📸 Adding Photos
+
+1. Place your photos in the `src/images` directory
+2. Update `src/data/photos.json` with your photo information:
+```json
+{
+  "photoGroups": {
+    "group-name": [
+      {
+        "src": "/path/to/image.webp",
+        "alt": "Image description",
+        "caption": "Optional caption",
+        "date": "2023-12-25"
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
 ```
 
-Astro looks for `.astro` or `.md` files in the `src/pages/` directory. Each page is exposed as a route based on its file name.
+## 🔧 Configuration
 
-There's nothing special about `src/components/`, but that's where we like to put any Astro/React/Vue/Svelte/Preact components.
+- Image lazy loading threshold can be adjusted in `PhotoStream.jsx`
+- Masonry grid settings can be modified in `PhotoStream.jsx`
 
-Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the `public/` directory.
+## 📱 Browser Support
 
-## 🧞 Commands
+- Modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
+- WebP support with fallback to original formats
+- Responsive design for mobile and desktop
 
-All commands are run from the root of the project, from a terminal:
