A Portfolio of Diana Walker Photos
For almost thirty years, photographer Diana Walker has had special access to her friend Steve Jobs. Here is a selection from her portfolio.
At his home in Woodside, 1982: He was such a perfectionist that he had trouble buying furniture.
In his kitchen: “Coming back after seven months in Indian villages, I saw the craziness of the Western world as well as its capacity for rational thought.”
At Stanford, 1982: “How many of you are virgins? How many of you have taken LSD?”
With the Lisa: “Picasso had a saying—‘good artists copy, great artists steal’—and we have always been shameless about stealing great ideas.”
With John Sculley in Central Park, 1984: “Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water, or do you want a chance to change the world?”
In his Apple office, 1982: Asked if he wanted to do market research, he said, “No, because customers don’t know what they want until we’ve shown them.”
At NeXT, 1988: Freed from the constraints at Apple, he indulged his own best and worst instincts.
With John Lasseter, August 1997: His cherubic face and demeanor masked an artistic perfectionism that rivaled that of Jobs.
At home working on his Boston Macworld speech after regaining command of Apple, 1997: “In that craziness we see genius.”
Sealing the Microsoft deal by phone with Gates: “Bill, thank you for your support of this company. I think the world’s a better place for it.”
At Boston Macworld, as Gates discusses their deal: “That was my worst and stupidest staging event ever. It made me look small.”
With his wife, Laurene Powell, in their backyard in Palo Alto, August 1997: She was the sensible anchor in his life.
At his home office in Palo Alto, 2004: “I like living at the intersection of the humanities and technology.”
