“On July 31, 2004, Steve Jobs underwent surgery to remove a malignant tumor from his pancreas,” Philip Elmer-DeWitt reports for Fortune. “A few weeks later, he permitted Diana Walker, his favorite TIME Magazine contract photographer, to shoot him in his Palo Alto home.”
P.E.D. reports, “A selection of those photos have surfaced in Getty Images’ archives, where they were discovered by allaboutstevejobs.com.”

Steve wears old jeans, turtleneck, and Keen sandals.
Looks cool.
Ballmer wears ugly hit-man suits and open-neck cheap white shirts.
Looks uncool.
Cool home!
Very European feel. Notice the Amazon shipping box in one of the pix,
Looks like a laid back and simple life. Nice to know he is grounded, so like Steve Jobs to make a life simple as the products.
Man of the Year!
The media can go pound sand with any other choice!
Under the heading of what could be more boring than the Beatles?
I just ordered the Diana Walker book that these photos appear in, called The Bigger Picture: Thirty Years of Portraits. Very cheap on Amazon!
“Perfect for my stalker board down in the dark, musty, yet damp feeling cellar . . . “, Bunsen deviously yet passively thought to himself.
A MacDailyNews story about a Fortune story writing about a web site discovering photos from another web site that posted photos taken by a contract photographer who shot Steve Jobs. . . . six years ago.
Still, good photos.
A messy desk?!?!?
That’s cool!!!
Boy, I’m feeling MUCH better about myself.
. . . and my desk.
Photos, yes, but they are all of the fat Steve Jobs.
An unassuming rustic-looking home. Interesting.
His home has an almost monastic feeling to it. Not what you would expect from a multi-billionaire. I like it.
Rumour was, back in the day, that he had a linux box on his Pixar desk. Nice to see a Mac front and centre there on his desk at home. You can tell a lot about a person from the environment they choose to live in. Steve’s office is simple, elegant and a place you would love to spend a lot of time around. Thats a lot like his Mac philosophy. WYSIWYG.
It’s like an old Mill I live near:

I’m a pro photographer so I feel comfortable saying…shitty, boring, untalented, unflattering photos!
Wide angle lens never flatters a face. Almost all pix looking at camera. Just like family snaps. No color shots?
Depressing that someone could actually be proud of those.
@theloniusmac:
STFU, moron.
Agree with grh above. No talent photography. Maybe his mom took them?
Q: Under the heading of what could be more boring than the Beatles?
A: Your post?
I’d give Photo 12 a miss (sitting sideways in a chair), but the inside of the house is pretty cool.
@ grh,
“I’m a pro photographer so I feel comfortable saying…”
Talk is cheap shit-for-brains.
@I’m not impressed
So you’re a censorship freak? Apple is a caring, liberal company, MDN pretty robust in its views. Why do you demand that I be different?
(In fact, tell us why you feel you have the right to control what anyone else thinks or says).
One of the common signs of a person with no sound argument to make and insufficient intelligence to develop one, is that he resorts to ad hominem attacks.
I said nothing about the photographer, only about the photographs, where my comments are valid and my right to express them is unquestioned.
Why do you feel motivated to attack me personally instead of defending the photographs?
I have been a pro photographer for over 25 years. During that time, world-famous photographers, including one who is almost certainly the most popular and successful art photographer the world has ever known, whose work hangs in the US Library of Congress, the palace of the Danish royal family, the presidential palace in Manila, Carnegie Hall, the Guggenheim Museum and many fine homes, art galleries and museums around the world, have entrusted their work to me for editing before selling millions of books, and exhibition-quality prints for around $12,000 each.
So tell us a little about your skills and background. Failing that, keep your moronic attitude to yourself.
Must have been a really good photographer…
or it’s because it’s black and white. The very house he wants destroyed…
@ grh,
Yeah bud, you’re a regular god. But you’re still a self-inflated, pompous ass. If you can’t take the flak, then keep your ego to yourself.
