What's on my desktop:
Background is a photo I took from a set in Boston. It's called Glow and it's available for purchase.

l-r in my Dock - Finder, Dashboard, Adium, Firefox, iWeb, iCal, Address Book, Toast, iTunes, Photoshop, LimeWire, Word, and Copernicus

My folders: Flower shoot from 6/6, a PDF copy of my resume, a dump folder with a couple sets in them, Mac HD, Incomplete & New Music folders, UltraLime folder, Filezilla, and Desktop Crap

Left hand corner has my buddy list and iTunes. I am listening to Mark Anthony Thompson - Haul Away Joe, from Rogue's Gallery.

I don't have much on my desktop because I tend to immediately back up any photos I've taken or keep them on a thumb drive. The two folders are on my desktop now because they're what I'm currently working on. I'm working on my resume in Word and talking to [personal profile] plunkybug. Copernicus is what I use for screenshots.

I'm not specifically tagging anyone, but I would love to see everyone else's desktop.
