My Mac Setup

carra.jpg

Fellow blogger Shawn Blanc asked me to participate in his ongoing series of Sweet Mac Setups where he asks fellow mac users in the mac/design community to talk some about their mac setups and take a few photos of their workspace. The series does not focus only on people with fancy, perfect, expensive setups. It seems to be more about the relationship between the user and how they use their setups to work creatively with what they have. Its a fun series to look through if you want find interesting ways other creatives use their computer setups, both hardware and software, to work creatively. Its a great idea for a series of article/interviews and I was happy to take part in them.

You can see my entry in the series over on shawnblanc.net by clicking here.

Update: Some readers have been asking for a wallpaper of the above image so I cropped it down into wallpaper resolutions for everyone interested. Download the zip here.

    That’s a really nice setup you have there, I would kill for something like that! I’ve also fallen in love with the wallpaper you use (http://shawnblanc.net/images/john-carey_8028-small.jpg) and was wondering if you could provide a link to it?

    John, thanks, it gets the job done ;) yeah I love that image, it’s from an album cover actually and was made available as a wallpaper through a great design blog that has a wonderful guest artist wallpaper series. Here is the link: http://kitsunenoir.com/2010/03/30/the-dwp-with-ghostly-michael-cina-sami-koivikko/

    Heh, yeah the photo above is my site because I was working on the new design. The live audio app you see there is a spectral analyzer. It’s called simply AudioTools, it’s a metering application for audio with a bunch of modules you can buy into should you want more. Its pretty handy at times, here is a link to the app in iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/audiotools/id325307477?mt=8

    Hi John, is there any way you can post a high res image of that pic with the moleskine and ipad so we can use it as a desktop? I love the colors and my moleskine and ipad are my two most favorite things :D

  10. Jonny - August 20, 2010 at 3:36 pm

  11. john - August 21, 2010 at 2:06 am

I ask that you refrain from using any images found on fiftyfootshadows.net to create physically printed material of any kind. This includes posters, photographic prints, fliers, etc. Under no circumstances may you make a physical reproduction without written permission.

These rules also apply for any artwork or imagery submitted and shown within this site which was created by an artist aside from myself. Any images submitted and shared as wallpapers are the property of the artist who created them and in the same manner as my images, you are asked to receive permission before using them in any way aside from their intended use. Any use of these images outside of for your own personal use as a desktop wallpaper image is prohibited without permission from the author of the image. Commercial licensing is available upon request. Please write with any inquiries.

When sharing images via your personal blogs I kindly ask that you link back directly to either the post the image was taken from or the base of the website at www.fiftyfootshadows.net and give a credit to www.fiftyfootshadows.net. Do not re-post full resolution desktop images anywhere without permission. If you would like to use an image for your blog background or something of the sort simply write to ask first. Support the artwork you admire! Also, it is greatly appreciated if you do NOT link directly to the zip files. This is more or less the same as re-posting them as it circumvents the tiny bit of support I ask of you which is to simply link back to the original post for others to enjoy the site.

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 community 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!
