My wife and I use pictures that one of us has taken as we're both amateur shutterbugs - sometimes it's family and friends, sometimes a landscape. It all depends on our mood.

I've liked Mandolux as a resource for screen backgrounds.

All photos of Monica Bellucci and Anna Falchi. I have a thing for Italian Earth-Goddesses. Thankfully my wife finds it endearing.

An off-the-shelf wallpaper from Taschen's website, showing a bunch of hands of fatima on a wall in Morocco.

I always have to match my wallpaper with whatever theme I have running. Everything has to be clean to me. Maybe i'm just a tad anal about that. :)

This is on my home computer:

I used to get great calendar wallpapers from Veer.com, but they stopped for some reason. Photos.com has some, but now I make my own. I like to have a calendar on my desktop that isn't full of notes and to-dos.

I use a lot of stuff from plan59.com, and some from todaysinspiration.blogspot.com -- mostly vintage illustrations. I use one for a month or two until it stops making me smile every time I see it, and then I scroll through my collection until something else makes me happy.

i have a picture of the highschool i went to in france. lycée st. just a lyon.

ugh....why can you not use the accented letters!

lycee st just in lyon. that's what i meant to say. :-)

mandolux; me too.

My wallpaper is one of the latest floral/fauna photos that Matt posts on AT. They're stunning.

A lovely picture of Eddie Izzard. Yesm.

A cheeky/sexy graphic from a UK sex toy online retailer called Curious Nature (found via Fleshbot a few years ago).

If by wallpaper is meant desktop, I've used one of my own photos of a camellia to carry out an appropriate theme for my 24" iMac.

My desktop is picture of the empty Marian Goodman Gallery. It helps me think. :)

I went on a photo shooting spree while in Japan. I took a picture of a temple gate in Shinguu, Wakayama while living in the prefecture.
