Found this great story of the quest of a Vanity Fair writer. It’s Nick Tosches’ quest to find out where in the world the great Windows desktop background “Autumn” really was. It’s a great read, and it’s suprising how much trouble he really had to go through to find out even the location and the photographer.
Check out his story here.
Found on kottke again.
It is a great story-always wondered about the story behind some of those beautiful pictures in computer programs (like the one in Maldives-a place I only recently found on the map.) Brian-you find such good things in the world-I love this site of yours!
