Hope for the Nerds
I love this 1994 photo of Bill Gates, taken by Annie Leibovitz and included in Newsweek's cover story on the photographer. In her new book, "Life in Pictures," Leibovitz says Gates snuck off to check his computer while she was setting up for the shoot at his home in Bellevue, Washginton. The moment shows the deep geekiness of Gates, who not only became the richest man in the world but, as is nicely referenced in the photo on the wall, he even got the girl.
