Here's the picture of me that ran with my article in Symmetry:

This was cropped down.

It came from a photo shoot where typical shots looked more like this:
Back in June, when the magazine needed a portrait, I got a call from Reidar Hahn, our photographer from Fermilab's Visual Media Services.

I figured Reidar was going to pose me in front of an equipment rack or something. Instead he suggested that, since we were both planning to attend a performance by Zeusaphones, he could snap pictures there. Jeff Larson and Steve Ward set up their musical Tesla coils in the parking lot of the Naperville hotel where Duckon 17 was taking place.

Reidar needed to use a combination of flash (to illuminate me in the foreground) with a long exposure time (to capture the arcs of the Zeusaphones). I think it was four seconds. I tried to be still. His remote-controlled flash setup was unhappy in the presence of powerful radiofrequency emitters, but he coped. I'm sure he's faced tougher challenges in a lifetime of superscience photography.

While I was posing, Terry Blake donned his chainmail suit and chicken-wire helmet, becoming "Doctor Zeus." He strode between the coils and began to brandish a pair of fluorescent tubes amid a storm of purple lightning. The crowd loved it. The music buzzed. Reidar snapped away.

So I was recorded for posterity by a Hasselblad with 36 megapixels. There is more detail in this photo than you wanted to see.

Here's my General Technics pin.
Here are half of my eyelashes.

All in all, given that I am quite vain, I am very glad to have these pictures (even if their full glory did not find its way into the magazine). You can never have too many photos of yourself posing in front of Tesla coils, I always say.

In its 9 November issue Fermilab Today displays a neat picture from Jeff Larson. (If this link doesn't work, try another.

Quoting the caption:

Getting hot in here: Jeff Larson of the proton source department took this picture from behind Wilson Hall with the Fluke IR imager. "It's a camera that can see IR light and accurately tell you what the temperature is on certain surfaces," he said.
