You Say You Want a Revolution

By Jon Roemer On 6 Oct ’11 · Leave a Comment

I photographed Steve Jobs once. Some time in ’86 or ’87. Jobs was in a suite at the St. Regis in New York pushing NeXT computers. I remember getting there early and watching him prep.

I don’t have the photos (my employer owned them) and at the time I didn’t think to grab some of [...]
