Eye Candy Links

I’m a wallpaper junkie. My hard drive is full of these kinds of images that I rotate on my PC’s desktop. I suppose it’s because I spend so much time in front of a computer, I get bored easily. Also, I think the people who create these images and take these photos are true artists.

I thought I would share a few links with you to some amazing images.

BTW, don’t use any of these wallpaper programs that you install on your computer that download daily wallpapers and such. It will kill your computer. And be careful where you go to get wallpaper images. If you Google it you will find some virus-ridden sites with nothing but low-quality pictures of cats and inappropriate content. (As if pictures of kittens and twine wasn’t bad enough)

Wallpaper Changer (download exe) - Windows XP/2000 doesn’t ship with any tool for automatically rotating desktop backgrounds. This one was developed by Microsoft. It’s simple and easy to use. Every other utility like this that I have tried has either bogged down my computer or has been full of spyware.

InterfaceLIFT - Best all-around place I’ve found to get great images. Most of it is photography and not graphic art. It get’s updated a lot and you can find just about any resolution you can imagine.

Photo Collection - Here is a collection of some jaw-dropping photos that I just found. I’ll warn you: you could get lost in here for hours.

Wallpaper Collection - a stunning collection of desktop wallpaper. Most here are not photography, but some are. You’ll also find some links here to other collections. It’s nice when someone else goes out and finds the best ones for you…

Caedes.net - This is a community-driven site that has been around for a very long time. There are tons of images here contributed by photographers and graphic artists. They have a nice community rating system that helps you find the best stuff.

Enjoy!

    Thank you so much! I enjoyed looking at the pics and saved several along with the program so I can not be bored with my wallpaper. That happens too often, and I was so tired of having to change my picture manually.

    View http://www.artakiane.com. Not for wall paper, but some incredible art work and commentary by a twelve year old.

    By the way, Ben… did we lose the “blogroll” worthy status for some reason? Did we backslide in the blogger world? Have we sinned against the blog-gods?

    Doh! When I changed designs I started using the link manager in Wordpress instead of typing them in manually. I must have missed yours when I switched.

    I grovel at your feet, compadre. ;-)

    Word. Good stuff, Ben! Here’s a few more, but remember everybody that these are outside links, and you can see some rather “odd” artistic creations when you go to designers’ sites!
