Not the Photo in the Icon

[tiger_spot]

There's a black-and-white photograph in our living room of a woman wearing a poncho with her hair in two braids. In our previous apartment, it was on the top of a bookshelf, near the window. In our current house, it is on the shelf between the dining table and the hallway. (Here is a rather blurry scan for those of you who would like to play along at home or confirm that you are thinking of the correct photo -- sorry about the quality; I didn't want to take it out of the frame.)

People who have seen this photograph, please answer the following poll:

The correct answer, hidden from the casual glance by the power of rot13:

That may need to be another poll. It was definitely a Rule when I was growing up -- pictures of people living in the house were okay in a bedroom or in one's wallet, but were not to be placed in public parts of the home.

I was just kinda happy that I knew which photo you meant before I clicked on the scan. I'd never really thought about it, though.

[tiger-spot.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I don't know how many people notice it. I mean, I know you have a bunch of little photographs up on your living room wall, but I couldn't say what any of them are off the top of my head.
