Artist Creates Mac Shrine

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the what-some-people-do dept.

uucee writes "Wired has a story on an artist's Mac shrine. Apparently a big Mac fan, the photographer "tried to persuade his assistant to get an Apple tattoo for a photo shoot. She refused, opting for a temporary one instead." No word of a Macquarium being part of the collection." I like the idea of a desk built out of Macs.

    So there are some real fanatics out there...so what? I am sure all of you who are dissing this guy and article are guilty of similar crimes. How many of you go out and find a new game only to become addicted to it, say Warcraft III, and also buy all the marketing extras such as the action figures, books, and what not. I myself do not know enough about Macs to have a definite opinion of them but it seems they are diong something right because they have such a strong cult following and I would have to definately praise Steve Jobs for his wonderful marketing tactics.

    If you look at the photos closely, you can see a Lisa, a Newton 110-120-130 form factor, an eMate, a PowerCD, and a QuickTake 100- and 200-series cameras. Below and to the right of the Jim Henson poster, it looks like he's even got one of those set-top box prototypes, sitting underneath a laptop.

    This is more of an Apple shrine than a Mac shrine, but I suppose it's mostly Mac enough for Wired to be able to call it a Mac shrine.
