I have always wanted to have my own Sam Jones photo. I’ve admired his work for years and I was thrilled when he asked if he could use my camera to take a picture of his first Mac, a Macintosh Plus with a broken floppy drive.

Sam had taken me down to their basement where the old computer sits near the laundry tubs. I noted that the black and white screen is not any bigger than an iPad. Sam told me he pats it every time he goes down there to do his wash. His father had scanned a batch of Sam’s Polaroids and put a slideshow online years ago but I wasn’t able to find that link so we’ll have to make do with this one shot.
