| Emma Watson's new direction |

"There's no doubt that Harry Potter has been good for my career, but I need a change, and I want to head in a dramatic new direction to show my range. I've even had a costume custom made to show my commitment and sent the photo to Steven Moffat telling him my idea. I suspect I'll be hearing from him any day now."

Yes, I've been quiet, but I had to make some sort of post for today.
Many links below the cut...( Read more... )
And that done, now I'm off to post some Doctor Who toys to people :) |

Okay, so we now get to the pics from my "Other" directory. It's got a bit of everything in it and is well over double the size of any other folder - nearly 300 pictures. They aren't all beautiful, but I like'em! I got the favs down to 80, so I'm going to break them up over four posts.
The final post will be another friends locked one, just like Wallpaper 6, and for the same reasons - some content that is very much not worksafe.

Back before the trip, I put up pictures of the wallpapers I have on my PC. In the absence of content, I thought I'd put up more today. For those that missed the originals they are here - Wallpaper 1, Wallpaper 2, Wallpaper 3, and Wallpaper 4.
Below the cut is a large (21) selection of pictures, reduced to 600x480, from another of my wallpaper directories... ( Doctor Who ) |

Been sitting in here in my sleep deprived, brain-dead, condition, sorting through my wallpapers on my PC. I have around three-hundred and thirty pictures in my six wallpaper folders.
There are probably all sorts of great wallpaper monitoring programs out there, but my favourite is Wallpaper Master Pro. I've been using the freeware version for a while, but finally decided to get the paid version, since I was quite happy with the functionality of it.
It can change the background every day at a specified time, change it at various other user-defined intervals, or whenever you start your computer. You can pick the directories you'd like to use, different people using the same PC can have their own configurations, it's quite neat.
But what I really love about it is that you can set it with one overall display setting for all your pictures, or so that different wallpapers are displayed in the ways that best suits them. You can also give each of your pictures ratings and set the program to display randomly with a bias towards the pictures you've rated more highly.
So much for the pitch. Why I really posted about the program is because while going through my various backgrounds, I realised that I had quite a few that had various friends in them. Not actually enough for my liking, but then I hadn't ever consciously went "I must add friends to my wallpapers", I just occasionally saw a picture of one of them and went "I'm adding that to my lists."
Some aren't the best pictures, but the reason I grabbed them was that I think the person in the shot rocks, and when they come up on my background for a couple of days, even if I'm going througha rough patch, it delights me to have them there and they never cease to bring a smile to my face.
So, below the cut, I present a selection of the pictures of people that I occasionally have as wallpaper backgrounds.
( Many pics below cut, but all reduced to 640x480 so it doesn't kill your bandwidth... ) |

| Jean Perier |

Jean Perier, aged about 12, had served with the GIs in France. As a Frenchman he had to be left behind as the army crossed into Germany. Lee Miller wrote; ‘He didn’t belong to anyone any more. His father was a prisoner and his mother had been shot by the Huns a short time before we liberated the town. … Only one tear squeezed its way down his dirty GI face, and he smiled for my picture with an effort that would win wars.’
What were you doing at age 12? I had to grow up bloody quick but nothing I went through comes close to this. |
