Photo Portfolio

Over the bridge at the Cornell Plantations.

For a while now I've been looking for an online solution to showcase some of the better photos I've taken. I'm using Flickr as a place to share my photos, using "sets" more like event albums, and I wanted a way to separate my favorites from the rest. I had originally created a separate set called [[ Favorites of Mine ]] to list them, but it didn't work too well, I think.

The solution I came up with is Tumblr, mainly because I tried several times to find a purpose for it and couldn't. I created a new account and figured it out. I call it k.Cheng Photo Portfolio, and it'll have just my better photos. Flickr for everything else (candids, vacations, photo of the day). Check it out.

(Sadly, there's no built-in way to post to Tumblr from Flickr.)

Cleaned Up Back-log for Flickr

I have gone through all the photos I was planning on posting to Flickr. Most of the older things I did not post are either too personal or unimportant photos.

What a relief.

Old Photos

It has been a while since I have uploaded more recent albums/sets to Flickr. I have somehow managed to amass a ton of photos, go back all the way to mid-May 2008. I haven't even finished all the old stuff either.

In between losing the computer for a while, and being between home and temporary homes, I haven't had time out of class and homework and studying to getting to them.

I will get around to it soon. Most definitely.

Delays

Immediately after finals, I went to have some fun with friends. Had a full day of work yesterday, during which I worked on two Flickr sets: Touring Los Angeles and First Days in Taiwan. Now, on Friday and Saturday, I would have to have moved out and moved into the temporary new place (for two weeks).

Posts to come. Sorry for the delay.

[ -_- ]

I created a new Flickr set titled, [ -_- ], which is a collection of my favorite/best/artistic shots. Thinking back, I think I looked for photos that I took without the intention of documenting my life and my journeys.

I particularly like the black and white ones for some reason ...

Edit: I renamed it "[ -_- ] Favorites".

Old Taiwan Photos

I started processing the thousands of photos I have from my solo Taiwan trip during Winter 2006-2007. I was there for New Years too! I will be the first to admit that most of these photos came out pretty poorly, but they have sentimental value more than anything else to me.

I am starting backwards, from my last day to my first day. So far, I went through 4 major albums:

Last Day in Taiwan
Xin Zhu
Visit to Taipei
Around Taiwan in 3 Days

Old Photographs (from N1) 2

More Flickr retroactive albums are online. A new Flickr collection was created, titled "Travels".

They include:
Hoover Dam
Las Vegas
Disneyland

Posting About Ricky's Cookies

Today, Ricky's USPS package finally came in. It took about a week, and his cookies are finally here. Special photos, per Ricky's request, were posted here, on Flickr. Nothing too special.

Cookies were good. Thank you, sir. May I have some more?

Old Photographs (from Sony N1)

I have decided to engage in the process of adding some of my previous photos, taken prior to getting a Flickr account.

These albums and sets span most of what happened post-graduation in 2006. I am doing them in reverse order, with the more recent albums first. These were before I started to truly care about photography, so they are more documentary than artistic. I tried to fix them in post, but to little avail.

They include:
Fall 2007 Misc
Thanksgiving Day Parade
Keli at Cornell
Fall Break with Will
Move In, Rush, and Random

Cascadilla Trail

Today after spending over four hours in the machine shop (getting lucky in the morning for a lottery on one of the machines in the early morning), I decided to do something out of the ordinary. It was such an awesome day out today, I decided to go shooting with my Nikon.

I will cheat with today's POTD by using a D40 photo, rather than from the Sony N1 because I had too fun walking down and back Cascadilla Trail. I saw more people there than I had expected but all was well. I got into photographer mode, and I did not care. It was very relaxing, and I throughly enjoyed it. Because of the high contrast between shadow and sun, most of them came out odd. Just 18% were deemed good-to-show by me, mainly because of this huge difference between shadow and sun, and because a lot of what's in the gorge is repetitive. Haha I need some help, but I hope you like the pictures, on Flickr.
