Personal Pictures and Projects

  1. Here is the link to my public image album, created using the JAlbum tool, and with RSS support for PicLens.
  2. Some experiments with the Droste effect.
  3. Two demonstrations of texture generation by Wang tiles.
  4. Here are a few of my artistic projects; click to enlarge/shrink (javascript).

    I painted two parts, and my wife painted the other two.

    A pair of paintings shown at the 2007 U. Chicago Science in Art exhibition (submitted among "art created by scientists").

    trees composite

    Color and contrast heightened by blending photographs at 3 different exposures. Now on display in the West wing of the GCIS building.

  5. My webpage is now equipped with alternate style sheets, accessible via the "View > Page Style" menu in Firefox. I have also implemented a javascript style switcher which records your choice in a cookie (hover over "Select Page Style" at the top of the page).
  6. I'm trying to use Alex King's photos program to organize my digital pictures.
  7. As part of my greater interest in Content-Based Image Retreival, I've been learning to install and use the GNU Image Finding Tool for Mac OS X.
