An origin registry for photographers

Your camera already signs every photo. Genesis lets you prove it was yours.

Every sensor leaves a birthmark. Genesis puts your name beside it.

The photo will leave your hands. The record of where it came from stays.

Register photos against the camera that took them. Anyone can check if a copy traces back to you, even resized, re-compressed or stripped.

A photograph.

Six thousand pixels, straight from the camera.

Down to the pixel.

Each sits under a red, green or blue filter.

The birthmark.

Tiny manufacturing flaws leave a noise pattern unique to this sensor.

Then it leaves.

Shrunk, re-compressed, metadata stripped.

It still traces back.

It still finds the record: this photo, this camera, its owner, this date.

OsoroPrints

OsoroPrints sells prints. Each registered print's page shows a “Registered with Genesis” badge with its date, and a “Check this copy” button that opens the print's record here.

OsoroPrints is the Genesis creator's own print shop: every print there is registered with Genesis first. We eat our own dog food.

Hero + fingerprint motion

Hero stays light: no video, one 140px grain tile, a 30 fps pixel field where Bayer cells light up under the pointer with per-cell flicker like sensor noise (a slow drift on touch; static with reduced motion), and the Registered stamp settles once (overshoot to 1.0, ~500 ms). The fingerprint sequence is scroll-scrubbed across ~4.5 screens, sticky: zoom ×1→×7 into the photo; the RGGB mosaic fades in over it; sensor noise flickers then freezes into a fixed pattern; the frame pulls back and shrinks to a web copy with a JPEG block grid; a hairline draws to the record card and the stamp lands. Nothing loops; scrolling back reverses it exactly.

“The copy that already left”

Triggered once when a third of the section is visible. The web copy's metadata rows strike through one at a time (140 ms apart) and “stripped” appears; then the bracket joining both columns draws down (700 ms) and the shared Registered stamp settles. Without JavaScript, the final state shows.
