Framing the information age
Sunday, February 21, 2010 at 4:25PM Maurice Broomfield is a 94-year-old photographer who has documented examples of 20th century industry. His lifelong work is about to be shown at two exhibitions in the UK, as detailed in an interview with the Financial Times. It made me wonder whether anyone is doing the equivalent for telecom and datacom? Mega data centres as IT cathedrals?
When writing features for FibreSystems Europe, I repeatedly asked for high-resolution striking images. The magazine's editors always wanted photos that included people, like Maurice Broomfield's photos. Getting hold of such images did happen but not often.
Inspired by the Financial Times’ interview and Maurice Broomfield's beautiful images, some of the better images sent are presented here.
