Portrays the struggle that a true prophet free software has to go
through to be widely accepted.
A shirt with multitudes of colors (and here I thought you only wore
red polos!).
The trees in front and the ruins at the back really go well together,
Aegroto dum anima est, spes est.
Favorites from Andrew
At first glance, this looked like some kind of post-apocalyptic scene
(though somewhat cheerier) where a wandering wizard hacks away at one
of the few surviving computers. It made me think: if there was some
great and terrible apocalypse, how *would* computing eventually
reemerge? On the foundation of free software. All those unfree
operating systems and applications would be impossible to use. Only
free software would give mankind the ability and freedom to recreate
society because only free software gives mankind all of the
possibilities.
This picture conjures of thoughts of a wandering Alpine bard, or some
sort of fantasy wizard. The placement of the bag suggests a
deep-thinking gyrovague. I could see this picture as the cover for a
fantasy novel, or for the reflections of a world-spanning, intrepid
wanderer. Or perhaps a technodruid! I get a deep sense of freedom in
this picture, intermixed with echoes of ancient times.
I was instantly reminded of the
famous picture of a young Walt Whitman. (I just googled this, so
no endorsement of the site).
From this picture I get a sense of a bright light shining within. I
think we all have it (metaphorically of course) — but many of us do
not let it shine out for others to see. This picture is a marvelous
microcosm of life — CDs and digital cameras, paper books on math and
technology, political buttons and even baseball cards. And there are
you in the middle, as if about to speak, as if there was a bright
truth constantly bubbling up inside you that you couldn't stop
sharing.

Carlos Contreras picked out these three photos.
Computers in Natural Settings
Another reader expressed a preference for computers in natural
settings for showing "mutually supportive people living in harmony and
empathy and mutual support.; deprived of neither nature nor
("appropriate") technology, of neither privacy/individuality, nor of
communitarian and social needs."
And one not working.
At work.
