Bliss [~2000]

world famous photo?
what a waste. This picture pretty much betrays the purpose of this site. How can someone compare it to the likes of, Winston Chruchill, Einstein, and other more worthy pictures.

I was liking this site. Now I know its just another blog.

Is it famous photos or good photos? Because this is certainly famous.

Teletubbies come out to play!

> Is it famous photos or good photos?

Well, the website is called ‘worldsfamousphotos.com’…

Wierd, never knew that bliss was a real image, I always thought it was photoshopped.

I actually have one that has the same image with Master chief in a warthog shooting at a ghost, etc.

thanks

it’s not famous until you photoshop in a picture of a kitten. *rolls eyes*

I’m with Berry. I was really liking this site but there is too much mediocre “photo crap” in here or misinformation for me to want to explore this site further.

Why is the header of full of images of Anne Frank or the famous Eddie Adams execution photo vietnam and yet I can’t find them anywhere on the site? where are the photos of Dr. Martin Luther King? Where are there photos by Margaret Bourke White? Hell, let’s be cliche and put up a picture of John-John saluting his father’s casket at JFK’s funeral. Or even the Beatles’ Abbey Road cover photo.

I can understand the “famousness” of this photo in the context of modern pop culture and its popularity on web forums but as for historical significance, this photo doesn’t have leg to stand on.

I think you all don’t understand what means “World’s Famous Photos”.. this photo is famous, like it or not…. I think it’s a bad photo, anyway… but it’s famous and that’s all.

What are you talking about!!!

This photo isn’t famous like the other ones.
Because popularity of this photo depends on a PC that we have to use…
It hasn’t got an unbelievable scene or tales etc…

This is famous, ok, but not like the others you put on this web…

Fantastic!
It was a real photo!

The photos on your header, and the photos I came here to see are famous because their subject matter strikes something in you. The skills of the photographer aren’t what I’m debating, whether its a “good” or “bad” photo isn’t the issue. I think the issue is, is it famous for its content and does it have a story to tell or is it just another recognizable picture?

Excuse me, ignorant “annoyed photojournalist”, here is the pic you requested:

worldsfamous...

The search function is your friend.

It’s obvious the Mac lovers / Windows haters are just singling this photo out bc it it M$. Please lay off this photo, it is famous , and the site is about FAMOUS photos.

oh wow, its a real photo? i thought it was just something ms threw up.

it’s certainly a world-famous photo, made so by Microsoft.

It’s just funny that Microsoft would use this innocuous, untouched photo of rolling grassy hills and blue sky, instead of something in some way generated or enhanced by computer. Perchance, running windows…

In a way, it shows how little confidence they have in their own software.

What a bunch of complainers. Can’t you just like a picture because it looks peaceful?

Linux, Linux and Linux Forever!!!

Damn, i always thought it was photoshopped too

the definition in my mind of what makes a famous photograph has now changed, becouse now you no longer need to be famous to get 1000’s of people to look at your photo…If its a good photo on the other hand is another matter

All i’m thinking is Teletubies!

This photo is not famous , im thinking teletubbies also

I was also thinking that it was a child of computer aided graphics. If its a real photo, then its gem!

I,ve had a famous displayed on mt desktop for all these years….AND IM JUST LEARNING THIS -NOW-?

wow, i though that was a cgi

I actually like it.. If yo want to see a real photograph of the place check out this:
sebastien-me...

It’s not a cgi, but it seems likt they tinkered a bit by addind a mountain n the right, and the grass was brightened up a bit.. check it out!

its quite different to the real thing it seems more horizontal

I think it’s quite informative - i didn’t know that that was a real photo (I thought it was a microsoft photoshopped image) so I would give kudo’s to the photographer - technically it’s a brilliant shot… even i it is all fluffy and pretty - not a journalistic / dramatic works.

This photo captures a moment in culture. Speaks volumes about us as a generation. and tells a story of what we could obtain. Whether we like it, or not is subjective and reflex more on the viewer. It’s compositionally sound and all design elements are skillfully addressed.

ps I’m typing this out on a Mac.

Okay so say you don’t like this picture, and you think it ruined the site. How so? Not all famous photos are dramatic, not all of them are so bloody and gory that you can’t even stand it. Just about all of these comments here were made by people who have seen the picture, therefore, how can it not be famous? That picture of Einstein is famous, and it’s a picture of him with his tongue out. It’s not as if his hand was chopped off and he’s in serious pain. It’s a happy, calming picture. Get over it.

hei guys famous photo means photo that everyone of us know very well, not only a photo of famous historical persone… I know this photo you to- it’s famous!

I always thought it was an illustration. Wow.

I thought it was one of the opening scenes from “The Sound of Music”!

THIS IS FAMOUS!!!

Most other PCs before it had a boring blue background…
Now, compare that amazing picture with…a boring Windows 2000 background…
See a difference?

I love this photo. It reminds me of a reoccurring dream where I’m running naked through a grassy hill under a blue sky with clouds floating lazily by. On my foot is stuck a brita water filter jug and my hand suddenly changes into an enchilada (verde) of which I began eating all the while unable to quench my thirst.

Isn’t this a default background for Dell computers? hah because I still have it on mine… lovely…
