William Gallagher for AppleInsider:

A new blog post claims that OS X Leopard wallpaper, or desktop pictures, including “Grass Blades,” “Rock Garden,” and “Golden Palace” were photographed by Steve Jobs. The blogger, going only by the name “Cricket,” says he spent nearly 20 years at Apple.

“It shouldn’t surprise anyone that Steve Jobs liked to take pictures,” says “Cricket” in a blog post. “He was even taking a picture the last time I saw him. However, many people might not know that some of his photos shipped as Desktop Pictures in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.”

“Cricket” shows five OS X Leopard images shot by Jobs.

MacDailyNews Note: A collection of all of the Mac OS X Desktop Pictures (v. 10.0 Cheetah – 10.14 Mojave) is available for download via machintoshGarden.org.

  1. Steve Jobs…a true renaissance man. He didn’t just say he “cared” or something was “exciting.”
    He made it so in living reality.

    Mr. Cook, aka; Capt Spreadsheet and a point-man of the hypocritical elite, who scolds his compatriots, while drinking from the honey-tree of a country “cleansing” some of it’s own people.

    1. All excellent reasons I don’t respect Tim Cook.

      The two worst are hypocritical to the max:

      1~Working with CCP human rights abusers while preaching SJW ideals in the U.S.

      2~Even worse cleansing, censoring and banning his fellow patriots for their beliefs…

  2. I did submit many of my artworks to Steve for consideration as desktop images, and he promised me he’d use some in the 2012 version of Mac OS. Sadly he passed and somehow my art was forgotten after the tragedy of Steve’s tragic passing.

  3. Steve Jobs personally shot… Mr Burns!! I knew it!

    Also it’s very annoying how the letter and i and the letter o are right next to each other on the keyboard.

    If you’re not careful, you can end up typing

    Steve Jobs personally sh!t on Janet’s artwork submissions.
