Apples

Time for some new desktops I would say right? This afternoon I found these waiting to be shot in the light of the setting sun coming through a window so that rich yellow color was simply the light of the sun. While I realized later in post that I shot them at too high of an ISO so the dark shadows were covered in ugly digital noise I darkened them up a little bit to hide it so you guys wouldn’t have to look at digital noise on your desktops. Well, anyways, I still thought they were nice enough to share with everyone so here you go. Some fresh apples for your desktop. To download the images in their desktop sized goodness simply CLICK OR RIGHT CLICK HERE to download the attached zip file which also contains the terms of use for you to read over. No commercial use without checking with me first, thanks and enjoy!

On The Hi-Fi, Best Of ’09

Its that time again, time to let share some music with everyone, I dont do it nearly enough and while I do have a number of new albums I could write about I have decided to do something I have been trying to do for years and write a best of list for the year in music. For me its tricky because I am often finding new music that is older than the current year and so digging through some of my favorites I have to track down release dates to and some of them get a bit tricky because of multiple versions of smaller releases coming out. Some on this list are vinyl records that I bought this year which were re-released, or more officially released versions of self released albums or that kind of thing.. but for me this list contains nothing but albums that were released this year in whichever format that I bought it in so its close enough for me.

Well, enough of all that rambling about it, rather than the top albums of the year I have decided to go with my favorite songs of the year, I thought it may be easier for you guys to check out songs rather than entire albums right? I started with the idea of a top ten but it came down to a top 35, all different artists and it was still a tough decision to make really. I know you have probably seen a number of these lists already but hopefully everyone finds something in here that maybe they have not heard or can enjoy. I will try to write a tiny description with each song if your interested in reading my thoughts on them, otherwise, happy browsing!

One Shot

Bokeh Holiday

Why not something for the holidays? I know its pretty simple and really to be honest, I was shooting blind here until I got something kind of fun, holding the camera up above my head and letting auto focus help me out haha… even still its got a nice warm feeling to it I thought so why not share it as a desktop? Im sure there are some of you who will appreciate it and in the spirit of posting more often here is a bit of holiday something for everyone. I have more desktops yet to come! Hope everyone has been doing well lately and is starting to settle into this time of year, still has yet to hit me really hehe. Maybe one day this week it will settle in who knows.

Anywho, to download the desktop version simply CLICK OR RIGHT CLICK HERE to download the zip and mind the terms of use hiding inside. Thanks and enjoy!

Shaw

Take a ride along side of a rickshaw first through Delhi and back again then a short bit through Jaipur which I added simply to finnish up to the end of the song. The first one, through Delhi I held my iPhone out the rickshaw as close as I could comfortably hold it to the ground but after holding it for 15 minutes my hand kept cramping up so its a bit jerky. I thought about stabilizing it but I sort of like it the way it is, a bit more chaotic. Its a little longer than the other little videos I have made but I still enjoy it and thought I would share here. The music is Beck singing Velvet undergrounds song Run Run Run from his record club project and I found it to be pretty fitting. Enjoy!
