Egh, I realize this isn't really on topic, but what's with the creepy photo?

A quick search reveals a few pictures in which this guy looks perfectly normal, and one other which is similarly bizarre, and that other one is ALSO on a (different) Wired article.

Does Wired have some sort of creepyphoto fetish I just haven't noticed before?



I don't find it creepy it all. Actually, I think it's an good portrait. The viewer is definitely drawn to the eyes. Perhaps because it's in black and white that you find it so?


I must admit I find this quite funny - how Wire nitpickingly picked the 2 photos of his that looked a bit creepish.

Maybe they wanted to associate the security hacker meme wit creepines?

Definitely looks like they have a penchant for shock/media value.
