In the early 2000's I was seconded to Microsoft as an accessibility specialist for a trade show (BETT) at Olympia in London. Spent a week at the show, and these thumb drives were the popular giveaway for visitors. Kept a couple for myself as souvenirs.

I was quite late to make my picture yesterday.

So I grabbed the first thing I saw on my desk and tried to make it look good.

I had thought about this before, so I only had to set the lights up and adjust a few things.

Setup shot HERE.

1 LP160 in grided snoot, light red gel, @ full power directly on top of the subject.

1 Canon 430 Ex @ 1/4th in DIY very long snoot made from blue paper.

Obsolete storage media for data and programs like punched cards or punched tapes were very popular in 60s and 70s last century. For comparison there is also modern USB stick with capacity 64GB what represents approximately 860 millions of punched cards!

Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) provides scientists worldwide the lab’s unique particle accelerator, known as the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF), to probe the most basic building blocks of matter by conducting research at the frontiers of nuclear physics (NP) and related disciplines.

In addition, the lab capitalizes on its unique technologies and expertise to perform advanced computing and applied research with industry and university partners, and provides programs designed to help educate the next generation in science and technology.
