I shot this randomly at a show I was working this past weekend running sound for the indie band Beirut. Im not sure if they realized how much work it took to get them sounding good, I think they were used to a lot of clubs that turn the PA on and leave the band to play. It was a tricky show because they had such a large array of acoustic instruments and so I had 6 different sensitive condenser mics on stage in a noisy room. Going into it I had only heard their music briefly from their album which I grabbed from emusic to get an idea of what to expect from the night. I barley took my fingers off of the faders during the show because every mic in there kept getting moved around for different instruments which was not really a bad thing, just kept me on my toes thats all.

Sorry, I didn't mean to start rambling about all of that, I'm sure it doesn't really mean much of anything to most of you reading this. To tell you the truth I'm not sure what the keyboard below is called, It's some sort of early electronic organ I know but I don't know which one. All I know is that the only thing they used it for was to pipe out solid bars worth of low end to fill in the bottom end of a few songs which is why I named the desktop 60hz which is right around where this thing was hitting hardest in the room. I just liked the colors of it and knew I wanted to post it asa desktop so here you go!

These two shots were taken while I was working a street festival in downtown Winston Salem. Right around dusk what seemed like thousands of bats appeared in the air above the stage. Not low enough to freak anyone out but they were up there flying about in this huge swarm and I couldn't help but stare into the noise they created in the sky. I managed to snap off a couple photos of them in the darkness of dusk and still get some amount of detail in the shape os the flying mammals. I figured since its nearing the Halloween season these might be appropriate to post as desktops. Hopefully you don't mind me taking some liberties with the colors. The name was chosen nearly at random from my iTunes library. Bonus points for anyone who can tell me what song the name is from without looking it up. (or with looking it up, whatever works)

Not to much to say about this one, I just liked the mood of the photo. It is from inside of a semi truck used for storage looking out.

One last photo of a toy thats all, promise! This is another one that is hard to pinpoint the feeling of it. Not to much to say about it. Just a toy tractor dug into the grass and left after it was done being played with. Really peaceful though I thought...

Although similar to the shot of the bear toy in the previous post this one holds a definite cheeriness to it and thought that it would make for a nice playful desktop for the kid in you. Enjoy!

I'm sure some of you may find this one kind of strange. It is a shot that lies somewhere between playful and somber. I'm not sure how to classify it really but I thought it would make for a nice desktop so here you go!

This will be the last of the farm series. I decided against posting a few because I was not completley happy with them so this will be it for the short lived series of desktops. Everyone likes a nice viberant sunflower from time to time right? So whats with the name? You might be asking. I couldn't come up with anything that I liked so I thought of what kind of mood I thought the photo had and found that a song by the band 'Low' called Laserbeam from the album 'Things We Lost in the Fire' was a perfect reflection on that moment. For whatever reason that song is not on iTunes so I can't link to it but it is on emusic so you could check it out there if you are curious.
