About

Hello! This is where I used to dump my photographs—for my recent stuff, check out Picasa or Flickr. I also keep a journal where I occasionally post pictures.

If you want a wallpaper or a print made of any of these pictures, don't hesitate to contact me at nicholas dot liu (at) gmail dot com.

Here's some of the equipment that was used:
