All fashion — even computer fashion, changes.

James Bell, a UK photographer who also goes by the name "DocuByte" has just released a collection of incredible photos of vintage computers called "Guide to Computing."

In conjunction with INK studios, this collection is part of a greater body of work capturing the look of 1960's mainframe computers. His goal was to show off the startling beauty of these historic machines, along with stories behind each computer.

Bell explained in a press release: "from the colourful randomness of Alan Turing’s Pilot Ace to the bug­eyed stare of the retro­futuristic Control Data 6600, early computer and mainframe designs are as beautiful as they are fascinating."
