I thought of another, simpler solution. Use the CSS3 background-size  
property to ensure
that even if the image is scaled down, it gets drawn at the correct  
size:

    body{
       background-image: url(http://www.apostlesnyc.com/mediafiles/bgm1.jpg 
);
       -webkit-background-size: 1500px 2000px;
    }
