Thank you for the great pictures. Was really trying to get to the grand opening but wasnt able to. Steve is a great guy in person, and you can tell his passion regarding the apple fans, and crowds. He genuinely cares that they feel so loyal to the brand. Could you imagine the crowd of people that would be at a MS opening? Nothing like a MAC crowd.
Again awesome pics, they tell the story and engulf the anticipation and enthusiasm!

Hah, SuperSnake -- I was right in front of you, I'm in several of your shots in the line.
Great series of shots -- gave a good feeling of what was going on. Julianne Moore was there -- very nice lady, signed autographs for people, was fiddling with the Macbook next to the one I was trying out. She was trying to decide between the MacBook and iMac.
It was definitely wild to see Steve Jobs -- my daughter was floored.
Oh, and yes, guys, that was James Wood looking a bit old. And why does Kevin Bacon look young --- plastic surgery of course.

Which shots were you in? It's too bad I didn't know, would have been cool to talk to another MR reader 
Awesome Photo Journalism SuperSnake!
Great Job SuperSnake. Thank you so much for your work. You deserve some sort of award for getting all those great shots of Steve. Way to go man!
Did you all notice I have VIDEO posted of the NBC Nightly News interview with Steve on page 1? It's not just the stills.
This text is a LINK TO VIDEO of the whole segment.

I am seperating this into several posts because MacRumors isn't letting me post more than 10 pictures per post.
Yes, I met the Steve Jobs today.
I left school at 2pm today, hopped on the 4 train downtown. When I got off the train, it was pouring. I ran around trying to find the new Apple Store. After getting drenched I finally found the store and hopped in line. I stood behind the store and I snapped a few pictures with my camera.
^Well he said his daughter was there. Just look for the photo with an older guy with a young girl. The photos are either going to be from the NYC Apple Store opening, or Thailand. You'll probably be able to tell the difference.
Thanks for the great pics even if I did use up an hour and 20 minutes of my slow dial-up monthly allowance viewing them.
Never been to an Apple Store and probably never will get to one as there doesn't seem to be much chance of an Irish one any time soon, so I got a vicarious pleasure out of these shots.

I was in the earlier shots-- black cap, (PREMATURELY) silver hair -- chatting with the young couple who brought their 8-month-old out in the monsoon
. My daughter joined me around 5.What camera were you shooting with? I'm a pretty serious amateur myself so I always take note of what cameras people are using...
The funny thing is that I when I first got there I was kicking myself for arriving so early and suffering through the rainstorm (chilled through and through) -- but when my daughter arrived and was *so* excited to be so close I felt better -- not to mention the bedlam I encountered outside when we left around 8 PM

Thanks for the photo tour! I'm just flabbergasted this was all for a store opening. It seems like it was something much more. The store is beautiful, can't wait to get home and see it this summer.
I'm sure there was security there ala' secret service type hidden in the crowd. But, it's nice to have Steve and the other famous people so accessible. Mac people are so nice, there is nothing to fear!!!
Awesome pics! You meet the coolest people in NYC. I love it there. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't make it down yesterday, but it would have been freezing. That rain was cold. And when I go to the city, the temp seems to drop a few degrees from where I am.
Where Are All The People? Queue Is Still Empty At 8AM
I dont' get it. No queue all night when they are giving away MacBooks every hour? And there is still no queue at 8AM today? What gives? The opening appears to be a dud.
I would have stayed there the entire 24 hours to win a MacBook. I don't understand how this opening could not sustain a very long line the entire 24 hours.
There's a 3 hour delay in the timelapse posts. Will someone who is there please tell us what it's like now at 11AM?

Awesome pictures, thanks! I do feel a bit sorry for Steve though... having all those camera's thrust in his face There's something really nice about seeing him amongst 'real' people.

I was using a Canon PowerShot SD300. The one that Maria Sharapova uses in the commericials.
I'm currently resizing the huge pics into thumbnails so give me a few minutes.
Alright, I replaced all the links with 320 x 240 thumbs. Hopes this helps you dial up users out a bit
Great shots, thanks for sharing.
It is cool to see Steve amongst normal everyday folk. Wish I could have been there!!

Awesome man, congrats on meeting him and Kevin Bacon. I could just feel the energy from those photos. I can only imagine what it was like in real life, probably a very surreal experience. Reminds me of last summer when Nicole Kidman was being shot in my dad's apartments back courtyard. I was twenty feet from her for over six hours. I can't wait to visit the store, as I am moving to North Jersey June 5th!
So you like the MacBook's screen? Is it better than the matte? I can't decide wether or not to get a glossy screen on my MBP or not. I'm probably going to the Apple store tomorrow though.
Steve, wearing the same clothes. It would be shocking to see anything different. Someday, I would like to walk into a Apple store dressed like that and let my beard grow for about 3 days.
I love this thread. I really feels like I got to go to this event.
Thank you, SuperSnake!

Dude ..... YOU ARE MY HERO for this WEEK!!!!
I have no internet connection & just finished movie 2 weeks ago. I'm at work just now and looking at these incredible pictures .... I'm within such a close grasp to buying a MacBook Black Edition ... or waiting till Mid July for a MacBook Pro ... video card restrictions/freedoms (respectively). And this photo gave me so much motivation.
Overtime 53hours this week; 60hrs next week; 42 Hours the following week. Yeah I think I'll get a 1GB MacBook Pro with 2GHZ & 256MB (15"). but that MacBook Black looks so sweet in that svelte comberband.
