George Lange Steve Jobs & Bill Gates

Who: Steve Jobs & Bill Gates
Date: 7/21/91
What: Fortune Magazine
Where: Steve Jobs’ House in Mountain View

This was shot in 1992 for a Fortune cover at Steve Job’s house. From what I know, it is the only posed photograph of them ever taken. They were whispering the most competitive craziness to each other while smiling at me, competitive and crazy tough. “You will never beat me at anything,” Bill Gates said under his breath to Jobs. Then he adjusted it a bit, “You may tie me, but you will never beat me.” High tech gangsters.
