Steve Jobs's personally-owned original vintage semi-glossy 10 x 8 silver gelatin photo of himself sitting cross-legged with a Macintosh Computer in his lap, presented as a gift to father, Paul Jobs, who proudly hung it on the wall of Steve's childhood bedroom at the Jobs family home in Los Altos. Framed to an overall size of 12.5 x 10.75. In fine condition.
This classic portrait was captured by photographer Norman Seeff at Steve Jobs's home in Woodside, California, in 1984. Seeff later reflected: 'We were just sitting, talking about creativity and everyday stuff in his living room. I was beginning to build a level of intimacy with him, and then he rushed off, and came back in and plopped down in that pose. He spontaneously sat down with a Macintosh in his lap. I got the shot the first time. We did do a few more shots later on, and he even did a few yoga poses—he lifted his leg and put it over his shoulder—and I just thought we were two guys hanging out, chatting away, and enjoying the relationship. It wasn’t like there was a conceptualization here—this was completely off the cuff, spontaneity that we never thought would become a magazine image.'
Provenance: from the personal collection of John Chovanec, stepbrother of Steve Jobs.
