Steve Jobs

Woodside
1984

I had been engaged by Rolling Stone Magazine to do a story on the new ‘Apple’ company in Cupertino. After I had shot the team I asked Steve if we could shoot at his house and he agreed. We were having a very intense conversation about creativity and suddenly Steve jumped up and said ‘I want to show you something!’ He came running back with the as yet unreleased Mac and plopped down in a ‘lotus’ position with it on his lap.  I got the shot in an instant – it was a totally spontaneous moment. That shot later became the cover of Time Magazine.
