No offense to Eric Rodwell, but his picture form 1985 reminds me of Animal from the Muppets. 
And Mike Lawrence looks like he was some vagrant dragged (drugged) out of an alley!
Why is it when photos are taken of a winning team in bridge, they players are jumbled, not lined up, and look disheveled? Can't the photographer say "Hey XXX, please step forward, so you guys are in a line. Please all look at the camera, 1-2-3". They don't even need to smile (unless they are Eric Kokish), just at least look at the camera.

I think it's the ACBL's photographers' fault. Those of you who know Susan Doty know that she's a beautiful girl, but she once appeared in the ACBL Bulletin and they managed to take a bad picture of her.
