Thanks Desktoptopia!

There has been a little surge in traffic lately thanks to Desktoptopia, a really cool new app that runs on Mac or PC that auto-replaces your desktop background every few minutes. You can also rate all the desktops so it’s a nice peer-based rating system. Their tagline is: “Let Desktoptopia automatically update your monitor with fresh designer desktops like this one from our ever-growing master collection.”

All of my work is Creative Commons – No Commercial Use Allowed. This means that anyone, anywhere can use my images all they like for fun, desktops, art, etc., but no one can use it to make money. I’m a big fan of the Creative Commons movement since I think it is a smart move in digital distribution of creative effort.

They’ve chosen three of my images so far. If you get it, be sure to rank them with five stars! :) Here are the three they chose:

The Lost Hindu Temple in the Jungle Mist

The Grassy Roof in the Central Icelandic Farms

The Secret Passageway to the Treasure

    Love what you do. I was wondering if you sell prints and how I might see those. It’s a good habit of mine: I collect art and photography.
