Hamad Darwish, the Flickr photographer commissioned to shoot Windows Vista wallpapers, has been busy over the last few weeks.
He’s appeared on Good Morning Kuwait, a TV show comparable (not in scale, but at least in name) to Good Morning America; Digg (3 times); the Al-Anba newspaper; Kuwait Clientele magazine; Softpedia; Chip.de; the Official Windows Vista magazine and a Chinese magazine for the arts, which they claim to be the biggest in China. Apparently, he has also landed a contract with a photography equipments manufacturer and been commissioned to teach a photography course.
You could say, I started something. But that’s not all.
Hamad has since released as promised, the entire set of photos taken for Windows Vista in high-resolution of 1920×1200 pixels on his personal website. Go grab ‘em!
I’ve picked Destination – vol. II as my new wallpaper. It’s just amazing. 
I Love wallpaper No. 2.
Hamad did an amazing job! Bravo!!!
Also cheers Long for posting this update!
Thanks a lot for the update; I have been waiting for this amazing walls, thanks to Hamad too for lettting us have this freely.
great, I love them. thanks for pointing to the amazing series of images.
Thanks a lot!
Thanks Long!
And these Vista wallpapers even look ok on XP!
Thanks Long
He didn’t release all the wallpapers. For example, the “Imprisoned” picture of the close-up grass leaf with the dew drop is missing.
Wow, awesome. Downloaded them all.
sweet!
you think any of the pics from the WOW will make it to wallpapers somewhere? there’s some pretty good work featured. makes you wanna travel…
I’ll be happy just to grab some of these for my XP.
Haven’t got the guts to upgrade to Vista yet…
Of course, a Mac is looking tempting too

I downloaded them and are using them on my Vista laptop (they’re beautiful!) – but the “All Rights Reserved” text turns into a glassed-smudge underneath my start bar
Very nice! Thanks so much.
Either traffic is too high for this site to handle or the file has been removed. I would really like to get those wallpapers, though.
nice, been waiting for this for eternity
thanks a bunch Long 
I am not exactly overjoyed about having “All rights reserved” written on my desktop, thank you very much, not.
I stand corrected! Downloaded from the link without the silly legal messages.
Thank you so much. These pictures are breath taking!
Uhh, amazing wallpapers!!!
It is nice
I wonder how he gets those strange color effects where they “POP” out like that.
Very Cool
These are better than most of the wallpapers that did make it into the Vista suite … they are fantastic
