The press
A stamp cut for one photograph
Choose a picture and confirm where it was taken. A small stamp is cut for that place, two or three inks deep, and the press is composed around your photograph on warm paper.
The photograph itself is never redrawn. It is laid down exactly as it came off the camera, and everything printed beside it is set in type.

The field book
A collection, not a camera roll
Every press is numbered in one running sequence, and the app opens into the collection rather than into a blank create screen. Presses are filed into the trips they came from.
The worth of it is not the single press. It is the numbered set, and the book that comes out of it.
Numbers are permanent
A number is given only once a press exists, and it is never given again. Retire a press and the gap stays in the shelf. The gap is the collection telling the truth.
Adjusting
Move the stamp, change the paper, fix a word. Never costs a thing.
Your photograph
Kept whole, at full size, exactly as you took it.
Keeping
Poster, card, or a print ready page for paper.
Your Field Book begins with a single press.
