April Desktop Wallpaper and Calendar

April 6, 2010 by Younes

Better late than never, I guess. At least, you get the freshest of my images, right off the presses

. This image was taken from the 50th floor of the Prudential Tower in Boston, a must see for anyone passing through the city of Boston. It’s a bit of a contortionist act getting these images while shooting through a heavy glass pane, but the end result is certainly worth the effort.

I originally shot this image in color, but on closer inspection I really liked the contrast between the brighter and darker areas and opted for the almost abstract nature of the resulting black and white conversion.

Spring is in the air! Can’t deny it. People will complain about the slush, the rain and the ice, but I couldn’t care less, spring is coming fast. Warm air, fresh grass and no more shoveling…

As usual you can download the wallpaper in 3 sizes:

February 2010 Desktop Wallpaper and other business

January 31, 2010 by Younes

Time really flies, whether you are having fun or not…This past month has gone before I could even know it had come! I have got some exciting stuff coming up and that’s giving the energy I need to get through some of the insane temperatures we’ve been experiencing of late (MINUS 33 with the windchill on Friday!!! ). Of note is my upcoming trip to Morocco in May. I will be going with a client of mine who will get a unique opportunity for some one-on-one teaching during the course of the trip as I will be scouting new locations for shoots and for upcoming photo tours in the coming years. I also have some really cool stuff brewing, but I will talk about it in due time (sorry for being such a tease, but can’t quite discuss it right now). In any case, before I get carried away, below are the links to 3 sizes of desktop wallpapers for February. I figured that we already know that it is winter, so there really is no need to rub it in our faces even more with a wintery image. Instead, I picked a shot from the warmest place I could think of: Cuba! Si! This shot was taken on a beach in Cayo Guillermo at sunrise.

Next on the agenda is this cool project that my buddy Jay Goodrich started. This is a really cool project to celebrate legendary landscape photographer Ansel Adams while making a link with contemporary artists and photographers who keep the Art alive and well. In essence, Jay takes it upon himself to go out on February 20 and shoot for 12 straight hours, while only using his iPhone! Yes, you read it, his iPhone. So what’s so cool about this, say you? Here is where YOU come in. Jay is proposing that you be an integral part of this project in two ways. The first, is that Jay will be posting his whereabouts, Live, all day and YOU get to tell him where to go. Ain’t that cool, you get to influence art from a seat in your living room! And if sitting in your living room doesn’t do it for you, you can join Jay and Co directly on his trek. If you want to know more about this project and would like to participate, check out Jay’s blog.

January Desktop wallpaper and Calendar

December 28, 2009 by Younes

It’s a new year, a new decade, but it’s not like anything will have changed from yesterday. Which is why, I am continuing the now almost year old tradition on this blog to post a monthly desktop wallpaper. Given the popularity of last week’s post “beaming” , I thought I’d reward my faithful readers with another shot from that same morning. Say we’ll call it Beaming II, the return. As usual, you can find it in three sizes to suit your needs.

December 2009 Desktop Wallpaper and Calendar

November 29, 2009 by Younes

This month’s desktop wallpaper comes straight from Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada. Though it doesn’t look like it, there’s a massive 2000+ meter high peak lurking just behind the fog/cloud. I was attracted to this scene because of the contrast between the burnt black trees and the white background. As usual, the background is available in three sizes.
