Wallpaper: September 2010
This month’s wallpaper is for all you coffee lovers out there. A nice close up of some Sumatran arabica coffee beans being roasted over an open fire. The smoke of the dark roast rising to through the beans. I hope you enjoy it and that the caffeine doesn’t keep you up at night. This month [...]
Wallpaper: August 2010
By now you will have noticed I have not been posting on this blog over this past week or so. I am on the road and will be spending much of August in Indonesia on assignment and in meetings with several organizations. Last week I taught a workshop on how to compose and shoot better [...]
Wallpaper July 2010
I am a few days late in posting my July wallpaper. After returning from Egypt I find myself trying to dig out from under masses of e-mails and all kinds of DAM (Digital Asset Management) work. So today I took a few minutes to put together a wallpaper for you from my trip to Egypt. [...]
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 [...]

April Wallpaper
This is going to be a quick post. You’ve seen the picture above from when I was in the Perhentian Islands a week or so back. So now it’s my gift to you for the month of April. I thought it would make a rather springy/summery wallpaper. I’m quickly putting the last little pieces of [...]
March Wallpaper: Give Peace a Shot with IGVP!
This month’s wallpaper is courtesy of the International Guild of Visual Peacemakers. I am a member of several guilds and organizations, but there is none that I feel more proud to be a part of than the IGVP. Not only because I share membership with noted photographers like Ami Vitale, David duChemin, Gavin Gough and [...]
February Wallpaper
So my gift to you is not one but two complete sets of wallpaper for most any size screen as well as for your iPhone or iPod Touch.
January’s Wallpaper
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. [...]
July's Wallpaper
I was walking in the mountains while in Kashmir and was delighted to see the wild flowers everywhere. Even though I am not a flower photographer I could not resist shooting these wild daisies. 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 [...]
January Wallpaper
Better late than never, I always say. Maybe becasue I am often late. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this image. I shot it early one morning during a trekking trip in the Indian Himalaya, at a small lake names Vishansar. I had gotten up early with my wife and daughter to go trout fishing and [...]
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 [...]
November Wallpaper
Here is your November wallpaper. These are “mani stones” found all over Ladakh, India. This wallpaper is a bit more tricky to download. You will have to right click it in Windows and ctl (control) click it on a Mac to open it in a new window. Then just do your thing to make it [...]
August Wallpaper
I am gone for a week to Bali, Indonesia. Trying to to drum up some business and network with some folks. Till then, keep spreading the word around about the Penang Lightroom 2 PhotoWalk. At last count we had 22 28 participants. Sign up soon, we can only take 50, space is limited. In honor [...]
Wallpaper for July.
Well, I had high hopes at getting you a wallpaper from Penang for your desktop. But I have been way too busy setting up home, … a better way of putting it, trying to find a home. Today I met with a friend here in the city, he let me use his scooter for the [...]
June's Wallpaper and 80 Thanks
Yesterday was great! I had a wonderful surprise party for my 50th birthday. How my wife pulled it off is beyond me. She and two good friends of ours, Julie Mahler and Patty Lynn Weber all got together and schemed. Somehow they managed to get around 80 of my friends to show up at Schoepf’s [...]
May's Wallpaper – Lumen Dei
Here is May’s wallpaper. It is a little different. A bit of a plug for Lumen Dei. Which, by the way, starts in 136 days. (note: We still have two* one space open.) This image is of men waiting for a meal in a welfare line. I love the intense look that the man in [...]
April Wallpaper
(Silly me, I forgot to give you the location of this shot. This is taken on the edge of Dal lake in Srinagar, Kashmir. Right in front of my favorite coffee shot “The Ice Fern” see the map below.) View Larger MapI know, I know you are amazed! Not at the image, but that it [...]
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.
