Yo!

Another image from the new years post. I think a rambled on long enough on my last post so I will keep this one simple. This was on the underside of a bridge at the mouth of a pedestrian tunnel that crosses on the underside of the bridge. I wished that this box here was in the center of the image but its close enough I suppose. Also, I apologize if the full sized image is not super sharp, I have shot all these dark shots sans-tripod which can get tricky in such dark environments.

Here is a slightly more yellow version of a photo I posted in my new years eve photo post. I made it more yellow like this to dull the overbearing white of the left half of the image because on a desktop as a wallpaper it was just a but too much. However, here is a sparky desktop for you in the new year. I will continue to post photos from my new years eve post. I would post all of them but not all of them lend themselves well to be desktops either because of sharpness issues or simply not being appropriate for such a simple thing. When it comes to desktops I tend to lean more towards simplistic images that don’t distract too much from the computer screen and the work you may be doing on it. As a designer I know, a busy desktop is nothing but a distraction when it comes to the functionality of a desktop. Anywho…

Taken on new years eve, I posted this and other photos from that night a couple of posts ago and will continue to post desktop versions of some those images as I have time to prepare them. I thought I would start with a subtle one. I’m not sure which ones will become desktops but be patient and well see which ones get converted here in the next few days. Otherwise…

So This Is The New Year

It looks like another year has slipped through my fingers. Nearly one year ago I started up this new project for my desktops after feeling twistedsun.net had run its course. While within the year it went through a couple different design changes I feel happy with the way things are looking and feeling right now and have a feeling this design will stick for a while. The site has seen a number of new readers as the year went on and the word got out and I am in constant thanks of their support.

So looking ahead I have a number of new things that will come from the new year. First off, in an effort to focus my efforts here my music posts will not be as often or as full featured and I will probably reserve the ones I make here for more specific things or when an album gets me really excited and I just have to share it. Music is an important part of my life and I don’t want to phase it out completely from fiftyfootshadows just yet. That said I would like to casually announce that I have started a new web project. A music site for the calm music of the world called You Disappear. I have been brainstorming and working on it for a few months now and I have gone live with it as of today. It’s not perfect yet and it will take a few months to build its library of albums I have no doubt that it will be a lot of fun to work on and maintain. Hopefully you all will take some time to head over and check it out. Maybe discover some great new music. The about page and the welcome post will help describe my motives in a little more detail.

In other news, I will continue to provide new desktop wallpapers as often as I can and possibly more articles and the like on photography if readers show enough interest. I also have a portfolio site for my photography in the works and will announce that when it goes live, hopefully in the next few months. I also have plans starting to take shape about prints, a book, and other sorts of fun things that I would like to pull into reality this year which is something else I am really looking forward to.

On a more personal note, I have been in Munich, Germany these past couple of months and while I have had a wonderful time here I will be heading back stateside on the 7th. My adventures wont stop there turns out as I have been planning a winter trip through southern Utah and I am really excited about it.

That’s about all for now, just a simple update and a moment to wish everyone a good new year. I for one feel a good year coming on and I’m looking forward to all the days coming ahead.

Heres to a new year and many more to come.
