The photo that served as the template for the recent TIME magazine cover is quite a bit more revealing than the one that ended up on newsstands.

TIME magazine has used a photo of Sarah Mason, a 25-year-old Occupy L.A. activist, photographed by LA Weekly's Ted Soqui as she stood in a line, arms linked, during a November 17 protest at Bank of America Plaza, for its cover. The TIME image - created by Shepard Fairey, the L.A. artist also known for his Obama "Hope" poster is a sanitized version of the original photograph. The 99% insignia on the bandana masking Mason's face has been removed. CW/RSN
