“A 1982 portrait of the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs has been added to the first floor display at the National Portrait Gallery,” Maura Judkis reports for The Washington Post.
“Photographed by Diana Walker, the image depicts a different Jobs than the black turtleneck-clad, bespectacled one we’ve come to know,” Judkis reports. “With a suit, a tie, and a mop of windblown hair, Jobs is casual, but poised.”
Judkis reports, “He stands tall before a brilliant blue sky as vast as his potential.”

Such a Bad Ass LOL
This is awesome.
Look at him. No compromises.
It almost looks like he’s wearing his Dad’s suit.
For a suit, the pants & jacket are the same color. This is a blazer and slacks.
qka: you’re as much a jackass as I! (was immediately what I was thinking)
Fantastic picture, great description about the blue sky
Anyone else think the leave in that rainbow Apple logo (hey, now _that_ should come back!) is a bit, um, off?
Um, make that ‘leaf’. D’oh.
The leaf IS too far to the left – like a lot of things nowadays.
+1 lol. 🙂
Steve’s ankles angle to the left also. To his right.
The Apple logo has been redone since then.
‘leaf’. D’oh.
never have seen nor understood the need to inject personal agenda’s into tributes to people. what could be, and is intended to be a pure acknowledgement of someone and their contributions is clouded by personal speculation, asking for its’ own attention rather than letting the receiver be the focus. i would never put something in a tribute on line that i wouldn’t say to the man’s wife and family.
steve jobs’ life and works and loves speak volumes, and have affected my everyday life for the good.
my respect goes to the man. my greatest respect.
the post this is referencing has been taken down, although i now see the political agenda shows up anyway….life goes on, tribute or no.

He stands very tall in the National Portrait Gallery, just as he should.
BAMF!
Awesome!
Looks like the old Bandley buildings…
I like the photo. I like the photo currently on the Apple.com front page better, but I like this one too.
I like what you said about “Portrait of Steve Jobs added to U.S. National Portrait Gallery”…………Thanks very nice post
