Rest in Peace Steve...

Steve Jobs died Wednesday 5th October 2011. The creative genius behind the iPod, iPhone, iPad and most importantly the Apple Macintosh Personal Computer. Upon which every photograph I have edited, every website I have built, every virtual tour I have published and the corporate videos I shoot with my friend and business partner Shaun Esden is created with the ease of use, power and security I need to be a creative professional.

I cannot think of an innovator and visionary in the whole of history that had the drive, determination and desire for perfection that Steve had. I never met the man but he changed my life back in 1992 when I first got my hands on an Apple Mac LC computer.

He was the first person in history that would take a gamble on the graphical user interface when he set his eyes on a rudimentary GUI at Xerox P.A.R.C. when even the Rank Xerox executives wouldn't embrace it. He hired some of the technologists there, completely redesigned the GUI to make it useable, the Apple Lisa was born and the rest is history. Yes other also-rans copied the idea a few years later but without steve the GUI would have been shelved and we could all be using computers where you have to type on the command line to get things done right now.

 

Thank you Steve, you changed all of our lives for the better.
