We he may have been feeling very isolated and alone.
He may have not been aware of the women or known her name.
The photo appears to have been taken with a very long lens say a 300 or 400
compressing his relationship to the oil rig in the background.
In reality that oil rig may have been not something he was all that aware
of. It was way off in the distance.
But the magazine wanted a pictures of the Pres and an oil rig. And water.
They didn't want ladies. The didn't want an oil rig as a spec in the
horizon. So they approached the issue of putting a cover together the way
they've always approached it. And long ago their workflo went from analog to
digital.
