I staged this photo. Yea, I know... but I tried so hard not to do it, and my friend came up and asked how I was, and I vented. He offered to help and so I asked him to stand still while I got this shot. It is of my friend, a part of a group of about 60 or 70 people, who wore robin hood outfits to a session at the AIDS Conference where Bill Gates was speaking. We were asking Gates to support the Robin Hood Tax, which would put a tiny tax on banks to raise money to pay for important things like job creation, climate change and global health.
