Me too, but if you put yourself in the photographer's shoes, I guess you wouldn't just walk around taking pictures of random stuff in your office (it's just the equipment you work on, after all, who would ever care about that?), but rather the people you interact with every day. Reading the article's text, the photographer was clearly fond of the people he worked with. I'm also glad it turned out to be this, instead of that. I've seen plenty of photos of old equipment; it's cool to see candid shots of people actually performing the work that was done on the equipment.
