Announcing 2 new galleries on the Photography page – New Aged & Dynamic Hum
New Aged – A new look at “aged” decayed, distressed, time-worn objects of interest.
Dynamic Hum – Photos enhanced with Photoshop filters and routines while striving to retain a natural look. Not quite HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography, but in the same vein. Photos with a “dynamic hum”! (With apologies to Frank Zappa – re: Dynamo Hum)
Stay tuned as new photos will be added to these galleries.
If not for Steve Jobs, this website likely would not exist. Our daily interface with technology would not be the same no matter what specific devices we use. Many relationships with friends from around the world would never have happened. The past, present and future has been changed by Steve Jobs, for the better. Nothing gold can stay. This says more about his life than his passing.
Nothing Gold Can Stay
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
-Robert Frost
“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. … Stay hungry. Stay foolish.”
- Steve Jobs – Stanford University commencement address, June 2005.
Steve Jobs worked and inspired to make his dreams, his inventions become reality. The best inventions of man have a touch of humanity though they may still essentially be considered an inanimate object. Like songwriting, performing, painting, photography – invention is an artform!
“I knew long before we built it exactly what the Mac was. It always existed. I never had to ask customers what they wanted. If it’s something truly revolutionary, they won’t be able to help you.”
- Steve Jobs
Dear Steve Jobs, thanks for everything. It is impossible to say computing and technology would be enjoyed at current levels by me and everyone else without your contributions. I am forever grateful.
“I read a study that measured the efficiency of locomotion for various species on the planet. The condor used the least energy to move a kilometer. Humans came in with a rather unimpressive showing about a third of the way down the list….That didn’t look so good, but then someone at Scientific American had the insight to test the efficiency of lomotion for a man on a bicycle and a man on a bicycle blew the condor away.
That’s what a computer is to me: the computer is the most remarkable tool that we’ve ever come up with. It’s the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds.”
- Steve Jobs – Interview for the documentary “Memory and Imagination,” 1990
