How did you RAID the Seagate GoFlex USB drives.
Nice setup. But for a photographer you would not expect the person to show himself in the glass of the cupboard door. Anyway.
What kind of lamp is that sitting next to the three Seagate GoFlex drives.
Well, in addition to wanting to know who that is in the reflection I’d like to know who that is sitting in the chair at left.
Forget the amount of grey tone in the monitors – I really don’t like the shade of blouse she’s wearing. It’s very unprofessional. I have nothing better to do with my life than post comments like this in Internet forums…

Looks very, very comfortable. Not pretentious. Love the headphones!
Ive thought of creating a RAID of several top capacity terrabyte drives in a Mac Pro.
I wonder though, what each computer is specifically for?
I’m a minimalist, I can’t have a laptop in addition to my desktop, I do all my work in studio. But thats me. Unless I have to do remote work then I’ll get a laptop.
A very cool and inspiring office/sanctuary!! Thanks for sharing….
OSXDaily Rocks!!
Hahahaha… Beats by Dre. This man is funny.
Oh, so an Apple //e isn’t good enough, huh? Snob…
Well, nice equipment, but:
– he should have a better (wide gammut) display, Cinema Display is not.
– using unergonomic Apples Mice/Trackpad isn’t very professional.
– and if he really has this kind of wallpaper in use, it’s disastrous. You need a lighter, more even wallpaper near 18% grey tone.
So, it may be a astonishing hardware setup, but that’s not all.
Maybe you should be an interior designer, twinkle-toes. Who are you to say what color the wallpaper and ergonomic equipment should be for someone you’ve never even meant you jerk.
Apples Mice/Trackpad is fine in a pro-setup or pro-environment, what are you talking about?
30″ Cinema Display is fantastic, a bit slow, but fantastic, I’ll take it over a glossy, reflective screen wide gamut dodo.
18% grey tone? What are you on about dude. I use a 26% grey tone and I’m fine… (rollingeyes)
You need to get over yourself.
Anyone know what he uses to hang his headphones in the side of the Mac Pro like that?
Love the desk!! Love the chair!! Anyone know the manufacturer of the chair??
Clearly not that good his photography yet as you can see his reflection!
Clearly you’re a douche-bag too.
What a waste of money
If your computers MAKE you money, how are they a waste of money?
Love the Desk!! Great setup!!
Holy cow that’s a nice desk, and very smart to rest the pergo atop carpet. Loving the Orange Bowl bib too, so excited the season is here again!
