Next time you're searching for computer desktop/background/wallpaper images, promise me you'll try here.

Trey Ratcliff, an SMU graduate and Austin resident, creates the most glorious artwork from already amazing photos.  They run the gamut, from Icelandic meadows and Texas biker rallies to international airport terminals and shots of his family at Christmas. 

You'll enjoy them, others will enjoy them, and they'll transport you into what feels like an alternate universe.

But I must forewarn you: if you think you'll be spending "only 10 minutes" in his site, you're deluded.  Most of my friends pop-out 1+ hours later, wondering what they've been missing all these years.  Put on a pot of coffee and fall into a deep, cozy chair--cuz I predict you're gonna be a while. 

I just love announcing people with talent, and this fella's got it in spades.  Fortunately for him, Getty and the Smithsonian discovered Trey long ago, and the kid seems to be doing all right for himself.    ;-)

God bless the supra-talented who find their callings and thrive living them.  Way to go, everyone.  Keep up the great work.
