Had a great time photographing Jon Lech Johansen and Bram Cohen for this Time Magazine piece. Smart as hell and lovely to collaborate with. Jon, who wrote a program to decrypt DVD’s at 15 (!) and Bram who wrote BitTorrent at the old age of 26 have completely changed the way our world works. Subverting the system by offering efficient things for free. Heroes! Full of interesting factoids too. Bram makes all kinds of puzzles, including the puzzle ring you can see in the following photograph. He even made a rubik’s cube with gears. (whuh?!). And Jon made the bike in the pic below (with the wonderful assistant Dawn Pavli posing). Still had ash left over from burning man on it.

Great pics! I love the inclusion of his puzzle ring and the fact that there’s still playa dust on the bike. These are serious men, but who know how to have fun.
