Following is a small excerpt from this long interview:

Will Austin is a commercial photographer based in Seattle where he lives with his wife and son. He was born in Colorado and his ancestors are mostly ranchers from Texas.

He met one of Microsoft designers on an architecture shoot and that's how he got this awesome opportunity to create wallpapers for Windows 7.

He took all these pictures in Seattle. The 3 architecture photos were taken at the 'Seattle Center.' The shot of the hazel leaves with the dark red background was taken in the Washington Park Arboretum on a chilly morning. The proverbial 'shaft of light' came through the trees and only illuminated the leaves for a moment.
