    i thought someone may want them for wallpapers (uh.. “someone” meaning “me”).. i especially like the rust too. I’ll try to do it soon.

    Rachelle,
    I was looking at your website today, as I often do, and I have to say..you take the best pictures-so vivid and descriptive. Perhaps a future career for you!

    oh, i forgot to suggest that if you use one of the wallpapers to post or send in and ill post a screenshot of your new desktop (with the wallpaper)

  • 10 tien // Nov 19, 2003 at 2:51 pm

    hmm, i might have to change my picture of the world champion marlins celebrating at yankee stadium to one of these wallpapers rachelle.

  • 11 rachelle // Nov 19, 2003 at 3:32 pm

    here’s my desktop

  • 12 scott // Nov 19, 2003 at 3:52 pm

    tien - keep that wallpaper up til opening day. it will make any grey day liket this one that much brighter.

    rachelle - i’m not tech sound enough to send you a screenshot (i’m a pc user, yes i know, so it’s something like ctrl printscreen and then paste it into word or something) ps. i love ben kweller’s ‘wasted and ready’

    man there is little work at work today.

  • 13 rachelle // Nov 19, 2003 at 4:25 pm

    that’s ok scott.

    ben kweller rulz!

    mmm…cotton candy.

    yes, down with evil empire. they won’t win next year either, no matter how much money they spend - short of getting a-rod, sheff, vlad, shilling, re-signing pettitte, and the other matsui. yes, i am aware they would have a shortage of positions for players. but you figure at $250 MM a year, they’ll be able to win, no?

  • 15 jeff // Nov 19, 2003 at 4:50 pm

    how about the barbed wire as a 800 x 600 anyone?

  • 16 rachelleb // Nov 19, 2003 at 10:33 pm

    my brother’s desktop

  • 17 rachelle // Nov 20, 2003 at 12:00 pm

    Jessica’s desktop

  • 18 tien // Nov 20, 2003 at 1:04 pm

    holy crap, she’s still using os 9? or is that like 8 or something.

  • 19 Jessica // Nov 20, 2003 at 1:52 pm

    hey don’t pick on me…. why don’t you share some of your wealth with me :)

  • 20 rachelle // Nov 20, 2003 at 1:57 pm

    our company is still running 9 officially (although i’ve been on 10 for about 2 years). jess has os 10 at home.

  • 21 tien // Nov 20, 2003 at 1:57 pm

    the mysterious one speaks…all await her next appearance on the site…

  • 22 rachelle // Nov 20, 2003 at 2:47 pm

    scott’s desktop

  • 23 joe // Nov 20, 2003 at 11:14 pm

    joe’s desktop. yes, somebody had to make the lame joke. yes, it really is that cluttered.

  • 24 Jessica // Nov 21, 2003 at 12:32 am

    ummm… did someone say something?

    Where is your desktop Tien? Show us your cinema screen … I know Rachelle has been waiting to see it.

  • 25 tien // Nov 21, 2003 at 9:19 am

    wait, you want to see the desktop of my computer or my actual computer (seen here)?

    i haven’t been using the rachelleb.com desktops. i need to see my icons a little more clearly (this should be a non-issue since i have like 3 icons, but still).

  • 26 e // Nov 21, 2003 at 10:23 am

    here’s my desktop

    btw, i love the razor wire photo. if i had that on my work desktop maybe no one wold bother me. KEEP OUT!

  • 27 Jessica // Nov 21, 2003 at 11:16 am

    E - you bring up a very interesting question..

    Can you tell what a person’s apt/bedroom looks like from their destop?

    mine definately does… looks neat and organized at first glance but if you look closer there are some random stuff laying around.

  • 28 scott // Nov 21, 2003 at 11:53 am

    i guess mine suggests that although i’m relatively organized…i’m willing to write on the walls. damn walking contradiction.

  • 29 e // Nov 21, 2003 at 1:41 pm

    jess: perhaps…
    like my real-life spaces, my computer desktops are a disaster to other people, but i can find what i’m looking for quickly (i’ve memorized the locations of folders i access frequently–just like the piles of paper i have lying around are actually in some order).

    similarly, like my real-life spaces, if i try to clean up my computer desktop, i can’t find anything afterwards.

    though in real-life spaces you can’t do a “search the site”, or for that matter, a “command-z”…
    :)

    Hello. I was wondering if you have a HIGH REZ file of your ‘rusted metal’ image above. I think it’s beautiful and would love to use it in a film poster (independent). Please let me know…

    We don’t have a budget for the rights, but would credit your photography for the one sheet.
