Paintball Desktops and Wallpapers by Matt Dawnson

by Evan

I’ve looked over some paintball desktops on various sites, and the usual backgrounds were flashy images of paintballers with flashy colors and text. Personally, I like to be able to find all my icons. You know how they get when they start blending in with the background…

Well, in one of my previous posts I covered an online gallery by Matt Dawson. Not only does he photograph paintball and motocross, he also takes some of these photos and turns them into desktops. I kid you not when I say that these are the best desktops I’ve ever seen. Some are better than others (just out of personal preference), but my favorites stand at the HK, Excessive Force, the Miami Raiders, This Is Paintball, and Wicked. So I couldn’t really narrow it down any further, because all of them are just so damn good!

There’s so much emotion in these it seems, which is why they stand out from others. They aren’t just photos of some paintballer doing his thing, they are moments - intense moments. Not only can you see it, you can feel it. And this is what separates the good photos from the great photos.
