Parks at the Ah Ha School for the
Arts, Telluride, CO (group exhibit with James Balog and Aaron
Huey) in conjonction with the Mountain Film Festival
, where Ken Burns The

Plum TV, Bonjour Telluride.
The National Parks will be start nationally on PBS on September 27th. Episode 4, where Quang-Tuan Luong appears as a character, will be broadcast on September 30th at 8.00pm Eastern Time (check local listings for daytime broadcasts). PBS will stage marathon viewings on the weekend following the film's debut. |
| Jan 15, 2009: terragalleria.com moves again to a new, faster server (Xeon quad-core), with larger drives |
| Oct 14, 2008: We are adding panoramic format images, mostly from the US National Parks. The first series consists of 170 photos in Pacific Coast and Mountain Parks. Wide-format wallpaper images are provided for those panoramic images, ideal for use in multi-screen displays. |
| Sept 6 - Oct 25, 2008: For the first time, 58 of Quang-Tuan Luong's images printed from 5x7 transparencies at size 24x36 or larger, one for each of the US National Parks, are on display during the solo exhibit Treasured Lands at the Bergamot Station in Santa Monica, CA. |
| Dec 1, 2007: We are re-working the large format images using new 300MB drum scans. This concerns mostly the US National Parks. To distinguish images that were photographed in large format from other images, we are now sizing the thumbnails of the large format images slightly larger than the other images. All the large format images are also collected into a special gallery: National Parks Large Format. This new release is a mix of new images and variations of existing images (in which case the old image is retired). |
| Oct 15, 2007: We are begining to convert all of our images to B&W. This will take a couple of months, since the process is more involved than just removing color. The first completed gallery is Europe in Black and White. Gallery structure is identical to color images. To switch between color and B&W for available images, use the link at the upper right corner of each page, just below the search box. |
| March 8, 2006: terragalleria.com moves to a new, faster server (Dual 2.8 Xeon). |
| Jan 4, 2006: An extensive hierarchy of pictures organized by subjects provides you with an alternative way to browse the site besides the existing organization by locations. |
| Dec 18, 2005: Cutting-edge Visual Similarity Search makes it easier to find and browse images with a similar "look", regardless of subject. |
| Oct 2005: The Advanced search page now let your sort your search results by date of publication on this site (to facilitate finding new images), as well as user ratings, popularity and interest. |
| May 2004: We are beginning to prepare a new pictorial book about the 58 US National Parks. Please read a description of the book, and if it looks like you could be interested, answer the few questions of the survey. If you wish, we can inform you by email about the status of the book. |
| April 2004: Many have expressed interest in using our images in the classroom. While we consider that to be a professional use and cannot grant free permissions in fairness, we have introduced a special educational membership (modeled after our popular religious/spiritual membership), which gives to all the classes in your K-12 school the right to use all the images on that site as classroom teaching materials for a low cost. |
| March 2004: New image search, now returns results as icons, with several search and display options. |
| Feb 2004: Many have expressed interest in using our images for professional religious/spiritual media presentations. In the past, licenses were prohibitively expensive, but we have just introduced a special low-cost religious/spiritual membership, which extends our wallpaper personal memberships. |
| Oct 2003: There have been many of you asking for higher resolution pictures for use as wallpaper. We have listened to your suggestion, and have decided to make available most of the images in various standard screen resolutions, up to 1600x1200. Support this site with a subscription, and get unlimited access to all the wallpaper pictures. |
| Feb 2003: lightbox for selecting images, and cart for ordering prints online. |
