I once bumped into Steve Jobs and Jonathan Ive walking out the front door at the Apple Headquarters in Cupertino.
Almost literally bumped into them. I had my head buried in a text message on my iPhone.
I looked up. Mr. Ive held the door open for me as I passed through on the way in before I really knew what was up. He and Jobs passed through on the way out just behind me. I was mysteriously compelled by something and I snapped a photo of their backs as they walked away since my phone was in my hand.
Click.
“Why did I just do that?” I thought to myself embarrassingly, even though no one noticed. “Don’t be such fool, Chase…”
And just then one of his famous one-liners lept into my head.
“Stay hungry. Stay foolish.”
And so I will.
Thanks for everything Steve. You made your dent in the universe — and then some. RIP.
***UPdate: I didn’t originally post the image because I didn’t think it was relevant, but so many requests from you have changed my mind. It’s not an image whose quality I’m proud of, but that wasn’t the point. It’s my only shot of Steve. Again, RIP…
Love the post and I love that you added the photo
RIP Steve Jobs, even i never met him but i knew he is the best inventor that change our world.
thanks for all your years spent for us, we love you and miss you in our heart forever.
goodbye papa steve :'(
Dan Margulis wrote this on his blog which I think perfectly sums the man up
Steve Jobs, OTOH, was indispensable. The reason was simply stated
by Shaw: “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the
unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends upon the unreasonable man.”
RIP
wow… nice. What a great memory to have Chase. I feel somewhat jealous of my mom right now; If there is a heaven I surely hope she’s baking him a nice apple crisp right now for Thanks Giving 🙂
I would have done the same thing .. And if you were to cross me in a door way I would sneak a shoot like that of you too ..because you are the Steve jobs of photography .. And may he rip and may you keep bringing us grate work and showing and changing the world. God bless
