In an e-mail exchange the other day with a friend, he asked me about the silhouette that is used at the top of blog design that is also used for the comment icons (aka - Gravatars) used on Lateral Lines.

My dad took the picture and, over the years, it has become an iconic image for me of my childhood for many reasons. In case you are curious, here's the original:
