For Studio Lighting class we had to put together a theme for an image that could coincide an article to illustrate the topic. I chose computer hardware.
This was shot in studio on black reflective glass with a Mamiya 645 with a Phase One Digital Back. Tungsten lighting 500W Mole Richardson Fresnel as Key with diffusion panel and a Black flag in the back. Also in use was a 1000W MR fill light
sPHENIX is a radical makeover of the PHENIX experiment, one of the original detectors designed to collect data at Brookhaven Lab’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. It includes many new components that significantly enhance scientists’ ability to learn about quark-gluon plasma (QGP), an exotic form of nuclear matter created in RHIC’s energetic particle smashups.
Jim's Apple2e lives under his desk, but it's still hard at work...
Jim says: 'I monitor the output of my firewall on an old Apple //e using a wee bit of code knocked up in ten minutes. It's at a fully authentic 300 baud and makes a nice 'tackatackatacka' noise when displaying new entries.'
This magnetic recording head came from the Manchester Mk 1. Donald says: "I visited the computer group at Manchester University, I think in 1949/50, and Dr.Thomas gave me one of the recording heads from the Manchester Mk 1 magnetic drum. I found it in a box in the roof. I suppose I kept it because it was given to me from another group and was not otherwise available in the laboratory."

This ZX81 has done well to survive so long in Bob's care: "Due to its wedge shape I must admit that i have previously used the odd ZX80/81 as a door wedge - well, it was perfectly shaped! Also, I learnt to interface to these fine examples, including linking to relays, 12v car batteries, thin fuse wire and fireworks in order to 'automate' early firework 'shows' at home."
Of the Spectrum 48K, Bob is perhaps less fond, commenting that the keys "seemed to have been modelled on a pencil eraser, they didn't work work and just smudged."
As to how he's hung on to them so long, Bob says only this: "simple, my wife doesn't or at least didn't know I had them!"
Good luck, Bob, and hope you find another decent hiding place!

Do you need to organize your data??? Here is the perfect solution. These cute pieces called ‘Thumb-Drivez’ not only help you to keep your files and data in place but also add an element of quirkiness to your laptop.
Both artistic and fully functional, these guys also let you use both the side by side USB ports in your laptop simultaneously.
Imagine a Pizza or a burger hanging out of your laptop….. It’s a definite conversation starter and a something your colleagues will envy.
A farewell reception was held for Andy Klein as he is stepping down as the interim Chancellor and retiring from IUPUI. The event happened at the Robert H. McKinney School of Law in the Steve Tuchman and Reed Bobrick Atrium. The photo was taken Monday, June 26, 2023. (Photo by Liz Kaye/Indiana University)

Donald Willis introduces the "first experimental digital magnetic recording head I made in 1948/9 at the Mathematical Laboratory, Cambridge when I joined the team to develop magnetic recording for the EDSAC. This was for a magnetic drum, but this was not used as we switched to magnetic tape when it first became available."
Donald kept it out of simple nostalgia: "it was the first magnetic recording head I had made".
