Is that why ?
News of the sudden departure of Mary Ann Golan from the position of Director of photography might be link to this cover ?
The image comes from a Shutterstock / Istockphoto contributor and was licensed for legendary pennies. Microstock on the cover of Time magazine sure is a milestone. It would be interesting to know if it was the image or the cost that was behind the decision to use this image.
More on this image and the reactions here.
