Read online; and editor-in-chief Scott Dadich’s notes on the experience of shooting Snowden; ‘We returned to the prop table, and Snowden picked up the flag...’

And talking of that flag, Andrew just pointed out via twitter that it’s the very same flag as used on this 1997 cover of George magazine (above). That time it was held by Pamela Anderson.

Who will hold it next?
