Pipe
I like the way Eames holds his pipe, it has the "I'm designing something in my head" look.

Hmm...

As I look at the top "imposter" photo, I stare in anticipation the chair or table will suddenly shift, sending chair & man swiftly to the floor.
An eyecrossed bored someone with superb photoshop skills and an adolescent sense of humor could bring this to life...
"It's a Shame About Ray"... i know that song...who sings it?
