Human photography essay

WHY ICONS ARE SO ESSENTIAL.

A funny bias — I am very sensitive to icons.

For example, I find the Google Maps icon as insanely ugly. I far prefer the Apple Maps icon, even though Google Maps is probably at least 1000x better than Apple Maps for real navigation.

Like Steve Jobs said with the original iPhone … the icons are so beautiful, ‘you can lick them.’
