New wallpapers for your Windows Vista desktop

Hamad Darwish has released some amazing new desktop wallpapers for your enjoyment and look absolutely stunning on your Windows Vista desktop.  Microsoft contacted Hamad to shoot some photos for wallpapers to include with Windows Vista.  His photos titled Destination and Lost Sensations made it into the final versions of Windows Vista now in stores.  Long Zheng interviewed Hamad on his experience working with Microsoft and shooting the photos for the project.  "I really enjoyed the experience and I wouldn’t think twice about doing it again, if I was given the chance," Hamad says.

You can grab the new wallpapers over off Hamad's personal website. Each of the wallpapers are at 1920x1200 resolution so they should look very nice on your desktop.

My favorite is this one -- it reminds me of a trip I took to Baja California in the late 90's:

    Its nice that you can just download all the pictures in 2 *.zip files from Hameds website.  Hamad Darwish is certainly a great photographer.

    Thanks Hamed :-)
