Inspired by Hassel:

My (actual) desktop has:
a mug with cold morning coffee
a stack of used CD's
my cell phone
a client folder
my two black date books
my 'Rolodex' which consists of 3x5 alphabetized cards and business cards
a card reader
a 21' Hewlett Packard
a 17' Sony
a Sony Clie' which I NEVER use
an old webcam that fell behind my monitor
my Sandisk card reader
my husband's middle-school collection of 100+ pencils in a tin that he used to play 'pencil-wars'
a big calculator with buttons huge enough for the weight-impaired Homer Simpson to press
two old address-books
a candle
a tape dispenser
a business ink stamp
an herbal eye pillow for when things get rough

lol I also left out a bunch of knicks and knacks which might make this a little more interesting. Let's see what's in this thing?

-Two dollars
-ink stamp
-wedding invite
-prescription
-blank 3x5 cards
-old developed BW film in a canister
- two more calculators (I'm REALLY bad at math)
-my old work badge

Perhaps it's just me... but aren't we a bunch of photographers? Why are we typing lists of things on our desktops? Shouldn't one photo say it all?

(oh, and by "we" I mean youall)
