Colophon

Overview

Since I was a kid, I’ve always enjoyed taking photos, whether it be with a simple Fuji 35mm film camera or a Canon DSLR. I don’t pretend to be a great photographer – I don’t have a particular style and I certainly don’t know the definition of all the terms associated with photography. I’m just a guy with a nifty camera taking photos of what I see and what I do.

Equipment

I’m currently shooting with a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT using the following lens:

  • Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 USM
  • Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
  • Canon EF 35mm f/2
  • Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II

I also own two smaller digital cameras, a Panasonic DMC-FX150, which I often use, and a Canon Powershot SD100, which I now seldom use.

Almost all the photos on this site are taken via digital camera. The scanned photos are from either a Fuji 35mm, a Kodak Advantix, or a disposable camera. Moblog photos are taken on the Panasonic DMC-FX150, an Apple iPhone, a Treo 700w, or a Sony Ericsson T616.

Photo Posts

When this site first began, there would generally be 3-5 photo posts a week. That became an exhausting, unrealistic pace so it’s now scaled back to posts whenever I feel like putting them up. The same goes for scanned photos from the archives (pre-digital).

Other Features

This site, when it was garywong.org, used to have one daily (mostly) feature – sidenotes that took up residence on the left sidebar. With the previous redesign and the decreased focus on photo posts, sidenotes became asides and they became the primary content. This current redesign and move to wonggawei.com has removed the asides – they’ll go into another site I’m working on. There are also live blogs and op-ed commentary pieces though I wouldn’t expect the latter to appear very often.

Technical Details

This site is powered by Wordpress, using the Agregado theme by Darren Hoyt.

Before I can even get a post online, I use the following software:

  • Adobe Lightroom
  • Adobe Photoshop CS3
  • Fetch
  • MarsEdit
  • Safari
  • Firefox

Of course, this site’s work is powered by Macintosh – namely, a MacBook Pro.
