Wallpaper July 2010

Wallpaper: June 2010
This month’s wallpaper is a fun image I shot in India while traveling by train from Delhi to Hardiwar. I wanted to get a shot that showed the train as well as the countryside. The train was important as it gives context and an integral part of the visual story. The countryside without people would [...]

You know what they say, “Better late than never.” I am trying to get caught up on my posting and will probably jet caught up just in time to leave for Iraq on the 25th. Here is January’s Wallpaper for 2010. This is the way I took it. I did not add any effects or [...]
December's Wallpaper
I don’t have any current snowy images that I can use to make the December Wallpaper for you. No icicles hanging from the eaves or people huddled around a fire. Sorry, I live in the tropics. So, I decided to at least give you a high key desktop image. This is an image of a [...]
November Wallpaper
I know I’ve been quiet for the past few weeks. I’m not sure why the creative writing juices are not flowing, as a result it’s been a rather dry time. As I wrote yesterday, Gavin Gough flew in for a quick visit. While here we both confessed we are slackers and slapped each others hands [...]
September’s Wallpaper
Septembers wallpaper is yours for the download. I hope you enjoy it. I shot both of these while in Chiange Mai Thailand this last month. I am being extra generous to you this month as a way to celebrate my new 13″ MacBook Pro and my Apple Cinema Display. So, one wallpaper for each monitor. [...]
August 09 Wallpaper
Wow what a CRAZY week. My 17″ MacBook pro is on it’s last few days, literally. I tried to order a new 13″ but nobody in all of Malaysia has one. So I had to put an order in and hope my current MacBook holds up. It has been crashing every 10 minutes, no kidding. [...]

They make a nice soft desktop image for July. Simply click the image above and view it larger. For Windows user [...]
May Wallpaper
Here is May’s wallpaper. Something a little different. I took this shoot while on this last trip to Kashmir. It is a raptor, a bird of prey called a Black Kite. They are all over the skies in Kashmir. I shot it with my ever-trusty 85mm 1.2. Now, I am not, as you can plainly [...]
March 2009 Wallpaper
Here is the wallpaper for March. I took this way back in 2004. It was a frosty, foggy winter’s morning and I was out driving around Dal Lake, Srinagar, Kashmir looking for things to photograph. I drove by this old dunga (a small Kashmiri canoe) and saw this. Yes, this images has had some tweaking [...]

December's Wallpaper
For December I though we needed a wallpaper with snow. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find snow 5º north of the equator? So, I hope this image shot last September during the Lumen Dei workshop in Ladakh will do. It is on the road to the Kardung La. We were [...]
I shoot for mostly NGOs and nonprofits. I photograph images of the unknown, the forgotten and the helpless. These are often the stories that most people overlook.
