Recent Changes to My Photography Web Pages
I update my web pages quite often (but not regularly) and yet the basic layout of
My Color Book remains largely unchanged. I hope this update log provides a
pointer for repeated visitors about what's new in my photo pages.

series of B&W photos.

posts on a Chinese web-based photography forum: Short Takes, Parts 1 and 2 (almost all posts are in
Chinese). These pages are linked to the Random
Thoughts page.

several photo series (background appears when viewed in IE)

Book. This series now contains 40 photos --- the largest series.

MIT Homepage page that lists designs I made for the official MIT
home page (http://mit.edu/) and their
officially appeared versions. I haven't figured out a way to link it to my
photography page yet. My MIT photos are the underlying reason why I got
involved with this task.
- August 22: I finally got 20M of the long-promised extra disk
quota for the growing needs of my photography page, courtesy of the official MIT home page, a team within MIT's CWIS
(campus-wide information system). I will start to move around things a bit
in the following week or two, but there should be no visiable changes to
