So, My friend Bob put a bunch of pictures from an event I was involved in up on his Flickr site a long time ago and I really liked a lot of them and wanted to use them as wallpapers. And I saw that Bob releases his photos under a derivative friendly Creative Commons liscence. Sweet.

I spent almost no time applying basic photoshop filters to try to make the photos less photographic and more suggestive of the magical and special place in which they were taken. Because I can. I like my wallpapers to strike a balance between photograph and graphic design. Also, I'm a sucker for the cutout filter. Hey, Photoshop is easy!

I've enjoyed having these as wallpapers on my computers for the past few months, and I hope you enjoy them, too.

I've put my wallpapers into a set on Flickr, and you can see Bob's originals in his set, along with many other excellent photographs from Septemeber's event. Bobs photos are so good, it's hard to imagine these as improving on them, but I'm happy to share them back out to the world. I enjoy them, I hope you will too.
