Evan Amos
Evan Amos is a video gaming photographer of high-quality stock images of video game consoles, which he releases into the public domain. Known for contributing these images to the online encyclopedia Wikipedia, Amos is working on The Vamos Online Museum, a free digital archive of videogame hardware.
==Career==
Being "annoyed" at the poor quality of images of video game consoles on Wikipedia, Amos decided to document these systems before they were "forgotten in time." Starting in 2010 with Nintendo's Wii console, which he happened to own, Amos soon "felt addicted" and started a list of every console he could think of. After putting up an ad on Craigslist, Amos came into contact with a collector in Huntington, Long Island, where he was able to photograph a collection of various consoles starting with those from Sega and Atari. He has expressed "surprise" at the increasing popularity of his freely licensed photos among print, television, Internet, and other media — though he is still rarely credited for them.
In 2013, Amos raised through a Kickstarter campaign to purchase more hardware. His goal is to build the The Vanamo Online Game Museum, an online archive of video game hardware in order to preserve the history of video games.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Vanamo Online Game Museum Kickstarter campaign )〕 In addition to photographs, the Vanamo Online Game Museum is intended to include an extensive history of each console and its development.
After purchasing and photographing video game consoles, Amos donates them to the New York University Game Center and the National Museum of Play, where he is allowed to access them at any time if he needs to re-shoot them.〔
