The internet is filled with things. Here are some of them.
I had to go tell the hardware guys, the people who made hardware accelerators, that fundamentally the math was wrong on their cards. That took about two-and-a-half years. I could not convince the guys, finally we hired Gary McTaggart [from 3DFX] and Charlie Brown and those guys had enough pull and enough… I have a fine arts major, nobody's gonna listen to me. ...This reddit explains the technical side of things.
The problem was, when I pointed this out to the graphics hardware manufacturers in '99 and early 2000s, I hit the 'you've just pointed out that my chips are fundamentally broken until we design brand new silicon, I hate you' reaction. That wasn't a fun conversation. It went through the stages of denial, anger, bargaining, etcetera, all in rapid succession with each new manufacturer.
Apple's camera click sound ... comes from Reekes' old 1970s Canon AE-1 that he purchased in high school. He recorded his camera and then slowed down the shutter speed in order to build the custom sound. ... He said he has attempted to use it as a pickup line in a bar as well. 'Hey, I made that sound!'

Here's a promotional short for an upcoming photo auction of William Eggleston's work, but what's interesting here is that the short (and the auction) feature front-and-center not Eggleston himself, but the technicians who printed his work: Guy Stricherz and Irene Malli. According to the auction house, Stricherz and Malli are the "acknowledged masters of the dye transfer printing process" who created the "perfected master prints by which subsequent prints in a respective edition were judged" – including the Eggman's most famous prints.
