Desktops

Through The Grass

_MG_0077small.wsZHabwNFTMn.jpg

I posted this on flickr a while back to see what people thought of it and I had a couple of requests to see it appear as a desktop so here I am with it as a nice big sunny wallpaper for your computer screen. At first I thought it somewhat boring but I think its grown on me, I like the warmth of it and I always love shooting into the sun like this. Behind the grass you can kind of make out the shape of a lake in the distance. It was taken at a rest stop off the side of an interstate somewhere between Memphis and Chicago and was a surprisingly peaceful place considering it was right off a huge highway like that..

Desktops, Photography

Chevy

As requested I made this image into a desktop for everyone, its one that I didn’t expect to have demand for as a desktop. Its a film image so please ignore the bits of dust I didn’t get all the way out. 30 minutes of dust removing in photoshop is my limit for one lil’ desktop. This van has seen a lot of miles in its day and recently someone broke into it and tried to steal it by forcing the starter to turn without a key and tore up the starter in the process. Still works though which is good…

Looking Up

A little something light and warm for the coming cold. I have a number of new images I have been waiting to post as desktops and I will be posting them as I have time to do so. In other words, you can look forward to some great new images here soon! In the mean time, enjoy this image taken while I was visiting a farm this past weekend.

As always, please respect the terms of use within the zip file containing the desktop which can be downloaded BY CLICKING OR RIGHT CLICKING HERE to download the attached file. Enjoy!

Music

Black Cabs

Some of you may remember a post a while back about a french site that featured videos of somewhat spontaneous, live recordings of a number of great musicians and I have recently come across another concept similar in nature.

The idea is they get musicians to perform scaled down versions of songs while riding along inside a cab. More specifically, the famous black cabs of England. Its an interesting idea to me and its fun to watch through the videos of a lot of really great artists featured on the site. (seriously though, the artists featured are great) My only criticism really, is that its a bit distracting and honestly not as personal and intimate as you would think it might be but I’m not sure I can really explain why that is. That and I wish they had a bit faster server running these videos… or maybe that’s just me. At any rate, below I have embedded a few random favorites but you can visit their site through this link for more.

Pinball

Taking a break from my film desktops for a moment I found these images in my archives while I was looking for some other photos I needed and I remembered that I always did want to make desktops of them. Hopefully this is not a repeat post.. I have this feeling like I posted these back in my twistedsun days but I can’t remember, haha… well either way, here they are for your desktoping pleasure.

They were taken of an old pinball machine that had long sine stopped working and was sitting in pieces in a basement for years and years. It did make for a few interesting photos though. My favorite shot was one I took with the Canonet and I posted it to flickr a while ago.

Not so much to say this time around. I mostly just wanted to get these up for everyone. It seems like I’ve been on a roll here with desktops the last few days and it feels good. Heres hoping I can keep up this posting momentum!

Please, remember these are not to be used for any sort of commercial use (as defined in the terms of use inside the zip with the desktops) and to download these fine looking images simply CLICK OR RIGHT CLICK HERE to save the attached zip file. Both images are there in the same zip file so enjoy it and let me know what you think!

It’s not fair to artists if you do not credit their work and link back to the original content creator. It is theft plain and simple and blogs that attempt to somehow be mysterious by not giving credit to the creators are simply hurting the artistic community as a whole. If you love it so much then please, support it! The artistic comunity on the Internet is based on trust. Without trust then what do we have? are you going to be one of the responsible users out there or will you be among the bottom feeders, stealing content and passing it off as your own to make a quick buck in ad sales. Use your best judgement and we will get along just fine.

Thank you for your understanding and support!
