Lufthansa hired a photographer who shot famous Windows XP wallpapers

According to some estimates, about 1 billion people saw the iconic Windows XP wallpaper called Bliss, which makes this photo the most popular in the world. 21 years after Charles O'Rear made this shot, he seeks to create the “next generation of wallpapers,” and they look no less beautiful.

"I turned 76 years old and I realized how important Microsoft Bliss photography was to my life, says O'Rear. - As the author of the most popular photograph in history, I enjoyed every minute of fame. "

This time, a project called "New Corners of America" ​​was created for smartphone users. “I’m very happy to create a continuation of the Bliss photo for smartphones for Lufthansa so that millions of people can still enjoy my vision of other beautiful places. In the end, smartphones have become the main place to see a new interesting photo. And I'm glad to be part of this.” .

In 1996, Charles O'Rear made his famous shot in Sonoma County, California. He was shooting a medium format camera. The photographer sent the picture to the licensed company Corbis, and in 2000 Microsoft acquired the rights to it.
