PIctures of computers (of the human and machine varieties).
Analogue switches, dials, and buttons, buttons, buttons (just like that Flickr group I linked to).
Here’s a clever to technique to improve the perceived performance of image loading with a polygonal SVG placeholder.
Time-shifted photographs of my hometown in Ireland.

Sci-fi book covers and posters from the 1970s.

The shots of Earth take my breath away.

Check out The Fett and The Falcon!
SpaceX has a Flickr account, and you have permission to use these photos.
