The answer, of course, is sitting at your desk, computer on and in view (with a paper you are working on visible on the screen) on one side, small chalkboard on the other, in front of bookshelves with an open book in your lap, held open with one hand, the other hand holding your pipe, in profile, with a stern look on your face.

How about looking innovative and out reaching and appearing with headset on far,ed by monitor as if giving a webinar?

Far,ed should be framed

Maybe walking past a $100 on the ground. Or standing in front of a “free lunch” advertisement with a puzzled look on your face.

How about “in action” like this one? http://www.antiwar.com/photos/perm/typewrit.jpg

Funny!!! How about holding Road to Serfdom out in front of you to warn of The State like you would a cross against a vampire?

Don’t forget “Leaning on books”:

Wearing a Hawaiian shirt and safari vest, standing in front of a building in a foreign country.

Do you have a good one of you “in action” so to speak in front of class or giving a lecture. I remember how prized a baseball card became if it featured a photo of a favorite player in action.

Mine looks like I have an ulcer. I really was in the process of smiling………

You left out the classic “head tilted with chin resting on index finger”.

Number 1, or 8 (holding your own book with the front cover visible.)

Pipe. I can’t believe there’s even a question.

Shawn is close. You need the picture of Yourself standing before a group of supplicants (students) with a hand gesture (vaguely benedictory, vaguely admonishing) taken from a high angle that clearly shows you to above them — head, shoulders, torso,… and intellectually.

Perhaps avoid “Pipe”

I can’t believe no one has mentioned the Indiana Jones pose — with gun and whip.

Randy | 20 December 2011 at 10:42 pm
I can believe that the Indiana Jones pose didn’t leap to mind for the individuals considering your portrait. But since you brought up movie icons, perhaps we can re-evaluate the possibilities.
Pee Wee Herman on the bicycle
Lee Marvin in Cat Ballou
George C. Scott as Patton
Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate
Others?

If your ideas are any good then they will survive a picture of you naked on a moped save for gumboots, corset and gladiator’s helmet.

I’m going to test that last hypothesis using a computer simulation, rather than a natural experiment.

I like the arms folded look with a smile. It says I’m confident, happy, and friendly.
