The portable computer immediately offered a new set of
photo opportunities. We saw the beach, bush and bistro as settings for what we began
perversely calling a portable office. Most were settings where it would be impossible to
see the screen , or to type at all, and it's become a cliche deserving its own
examination. We all know what a portable display is like, why do the photographers
continue as if they don't?
Tip: Tell Rosie Simpson from NFF Farmwide shown here, that you can get grass seeds
out of the serial ports with a blast of compressed air, but cowshit, stains the plastic
case forever.
