All Good Things...

Thank you to everyone who has supported my efforts to make a few dollars. I think it is time for me to stop this. The more people I tell about it, more people seem to be upset by it.

As you know, images were taken from the internet and I manipulated them to make them look okay on a 1920 x 1080 screen, which is currently HDTV's highest resolution. Yes, the images are of women and a few military airplanes but I believed that some of you would give me "direction" to what you would like in desktop imagery. Alas, I only got two requests and nothing else.

Though the people that seemed the most upset are the people who I expected to give me ideas for different types of images but it is easier to complain than to help these days.

I'll leave what has been done up for a week or two and then it will be gone. If you know who I am and want the collection that I have created, please contact me FB or email. I'll get them to you.

If you are wondering how much money was collected, actually the total sum from Google is 0.00. I never hit the $100 point. That's the minimum amount for a check from Google.

For those curious about how many hits, it was about 30,000.

Thanks for your help,
KT

Brooklyn Decker



Below, you will see all the faces of Brooklyn Decker in all of the desktop pictures I've posted here. I want you to notice how different she is from one photo shoot to the next and most importantly, how she looks in "candid" style photos. I hope all of you are aware that these photographs where taken by professionals and, in this case Brooklyn had whole teams of make-up people to make her look perfect within the photo. Granted, she is very photogenic and has all the right curves, so I'm sure their jobs were made easier but please, please keep in mind that most, if not all, photos for magazines, catalogs, calendars and especially advertisements are made by humans on a human canvas. And that's the analog side. When you make it digital, then a program called Photoshop comes in to play. If the Matrix is our future Internet, then Photoshop will be part of it's DNA. I urge you to watch the link videos at the end of this and all post from now... and thanks for letting me editorialize.


New "Style." More pictures, less frequent updates. Hope that's okay with you.

Brooklyn Decker was born was born on April 12, 1987 in Kettering, Ohio as Brooklyn Danielle Decker. She is 5' 9" [1.75 m] tall.

I picked Brooklyn for this post for a few of different reasons. I wanted a young lady who would be the lead female actor in an up coming movie. I chose the movie "Battleship." I have a feeling that Hasbro, the toy making company, is hoping that the movie has the same success as their "Transformers" series and perhaps we'll see more movies made from games... go ahead, make you own joke here... Another consideration was that even though she is a super-star model, she has discussed that her father got her out of some type of eating disorder because she was obsessed with how others looked compared to her. I want to stress to all the people looking at pages like this to know what is real and what is fantasy. Hopefully she will stay on that wagon and eat healthy and feel good about herself. I can see the pressures that young women and, yes men, face these days. They are being bombarded with advertisements that are pure fantasy and as proof, please take a look at the videos at the bottom of the this page. I also wanted a good example of a professional who can look like a bombshell like Sophia Loren and also look like the girl next door like Meg Ryan. Look at the photos. What other actors do you see in her? Perhaps a Jennifer Anniston?

I haven't seen much of her, no pun intended, but I hope she has a good future and will age with the grace that many famous people struggle to find. Follow her on Twitter, @BrooklynDecker, if you are into... twit reading? twit listening?

Factoids:
  • She is a big fan of the Dave Matthews Band.
  • Appeared in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue every year from 2006-2010, appearing on the cover of the 2010 issue.

It looks like that some of these photos came from Sports Illustrated and I also noticed that some are from Felina, a company that sells under garments. If you want to see more of Brooklyn in bikini's and lingerie, I'm sure they will be happy that you stopped by.
