e15 – Iconic with Jonathan Zufi

This episode we talk with Jonathan Zufi, creator of Shrine of Apple and Iconic: A Photographic Tribute to Apple Innovation. He tells us about his Apple II clone from down under, coming back to the Mac after a long hiatus, and — of course — how he tracked down and photographed some of the most elusive Apple hardware on the planet.
