Merry Christmas From Me To You

I've been working hard on a little photo project lately. I've had a few requests to use my photos as wallpapers, and as usual I have no problem with that; except the size and resolution of the photos taken directly from this blog are perhaps not ideal for use as desktop wallpaper.

I began turning some of my photos and other graphic creations into widescreen wallpapers for my own use awhile back and have decided to expand on it and make them accessible for everyone. So my Christmas gift to you this year, if I may be so presumptuous as to believe you have the least bit of interest, is a Flickr album full of moderately interesting wallpapers in mostly widescreen format.

I still have a lot more to add, but this is a start. The dimensions do vary a little from photo to photo as I found with trial and error that going by standard or popular widescreen dimensions did not always yield the best results. I went by God and by guess and to my eye they look good... on my monitor. I don't think the fact that I use a 37" flatscreen TV as a monitor should matter, but let me know if the images look at all distorted.

You don't need to be a Flickr member to view these photos, but it's not a bad idea to sign up if you haven't already. I know they are 'the enemy' in these parts, but I've been a Flickr fan ever since I was forced to switch from Yahoo photos.

For those who may need it, here are some directions/tips for using these photos as wallpapers:
You can download the photo to your computer first or you can set as desktop wallpaper right from Flickr. Remember to click on 'All Sizes' and choose 'Original' size for best resolution. Then right-click on image and choose 'Set as Background'.
