Note On Desktops

Hello everyone, I just wanted to write a quick note about the desktops available on the site. Its come to my attention that not everyone is able to find my probably too subtle links to the zip files containing the full resolution desktop images and I wanted to clear it up a bit here. Each desktop post on the site is marked within the desktop category so you know which ones are being posted as desktops. Within these posts I once made the image as the linking point to the downloadable zip file but later changed to a text link within the text of the post.

Somewhere along the way the links became lost in the text and my poor choice of hyperlink colors lead visitors to misunderstand where the desktops were to be downloaded. At any rate, for now, I have made the link color within posts a lovely orange to make them stand out more and in the future I will see about making the links more clearly defined.

Sorry for any confusion and thanks for reading my note here. I hope you continue to enjoy the blog and what I offer here. More desktops soon! I have a flickr spotlight I would like to sort out as well as some new images so as always, stay tuned for more and thanks for visiting!

X-Pro West

A tiny sampling of some more photos I took while on my trip West in February. These were scanned in and I did not clean any dust from them so pardon the dust. The film was some Fuji Slide film that was cross processed in C-41. I was really curious to see how the film would react with this kind of unpredictable processing mixed with the colors of the rocks and sights of the Western U.S.. While at first I was not sure what I thought of them I think they came out pretty interesting and I thought I would share a few here on the site before I get around to cleaning them up and posting them to flickr or anything. This batch of four were all taken in the same area, a really great spot… Anyways, let me know if you have any thoughts on them…

127

I finally got my hands on scans of the contact sheets from the 127 film I shot on the trip I took to Utah last month, here is a strip. Oddly, I picked a few to show here that were shot in Memphis, not Utah. I like them all the same. I cant wait to get this enlarger functional and start making prints.

Pyramids

At work one slow afternoon I found this packing material, pyramids that protect the corner of speakers that were shipped to us. I knew I wanted to shoot them but it was not until I lay one on a table that I noticed what would be fun to do with them. So I placed them off in the distance and tried to shoot them like a little landscape of cardboard pyramids. As I shot them I decided to cut out a little man as well to give it something else, some kind of vague, playful perspective.

And here they are for your desktopping pleasure. To download all three simply click or right click here to grab the zip containing all of them in desktop form and please mind the terms of use and only use these for your own personal desktop wallpaper needs. Thanks and enjoy!

I Know It Well

Here is something I have thought about doing for a long long time but only today finally managed to feel inspired to do. Take a few photos while listening to records and it was the perfect day for it because the grey cloud diluted sun snuck through my windows made for some beautiful tones and subtle shadows for the images. I tried to keep things simple because they were shot for desktops after all. The record playing was from Bon Iver, his newest EP called Blood Bank and the titles of the images are randomly selected from the lyrics of the title song. Hopefully everyone enjoys the images, surely there are some vinyl collectors out there that may appreciate them.

To download these three desktop images simply click or right click here to save the zip file containing all three images and please respect the terms of use, these are for private use only and commercial use is not allowed without my permission. Thanks and enjoy!
