Found Photos: Rarely seen Steve Jobs

As Dave Caolo told TUAW readers a few days ago, Fortune named Apple CEO Steve Jobs "CEO of the Decade" for his phenomenal leadership at Apple and how he has remade four industries (music, movies, mobile telephones, and computing) in the past ten years.

Part of the Fortune article was a collection of rarely seen photographs of Steve Jobs. From the early days with Steve Wozniak, to his recent battles with pancreatic cancer, the photos chronicle the life of the iconic CEO.

Two of my personal favorites in the gallery are a photo taken in 1982 of Jobs and the Mac team having a working lunch as they hammer out the design of the first-generation Mac, and another of a barefoot Jobs meeting with Bill Gates at the Jobs home in Palo Alto to talk about the future of computing for Fortune.

The entire set of posts, along with the photos and video, are a fascinating look into the many successes and few failures of the engimatic Mr. Jobs. If you have a chance, take a look at it this weekend.

It is those Syrian eyes that make Steve Jobs' face so striking.

They're very interesting, those pics. I have saved them all and I use the B&W portrait as a desktop.
CEO Of The Decade... It's quite something. If the others decades this century will end with a CEO just as special, it's gonna be a great century!
Makes me proud to be an Apple user.

Reading these two posts in succession made me laugh really hard. Thanks.

Yeah these pics are cool but I don't think I'll go ordering the above-the-fireplace version yet
