James Martin was the Managing Editor of Photography at CNET.
His photos capture technology's impact on society - from the widening wealth gap in San Francisco, to the European refugee crisis and Rwanda's efforts to improve health care.
From the technology pioneers of Google and Facebook, photographing Apple's Steve Jobs and Tim Cook, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and Google's Sundar Pichai, to the most groundbreaking launches at Apple and NASA, his was a dream job for any documentary photography and journalist with a love for technology.
Exhibited widely, syndicated and reprinted thousands of times over the years, James follows the people and places behind the technology changing our world, bringing their stories and ideas to life.
As Apple prepares for the first Worldwide Developers Conference of the post-Jobs era, set to begin next week in San Francisco, developers everywhere are looking forward to the latest technologies in iOS and OS X.
With six technical tracks, more than 100 sessions and labs, and a keynote from CEO Tim Cook, we expect it to be a big week for the developing world.
Setup is already under way at Moscone West in San Francisco.
