Photograph taken for a Dutch magazine of Juan Maldacena (l. in foreground) walking next to Erik Verlinde

One of a series of images taken for an article published in the January 2003 issue of M, the now defunct monthly magazine of the Dutch evening newspaper, NRC Handelsblad. The article is about string theorists - mostly those at the Institute for Advanced Study (School of Natural Sciences Faculty members Juan Maldacena, Nathan Seiberg, and Edward Witten) and Princeton University. This photo features Juan Maldacena (left in foreground) walking next to Erik Verlinde across the Institute for Advanced Study campus. Edward Witten is just visible at the very back of a group of otherwise unidentified individuals. Fuld Hall is seen in the background.
