Jody’s recent thread featuring vintage Tetons photos included a great, staged shot that features Yvon Chouinard, pointing and looking with manly determination toward the heights, taken on the lofty porch of the Jenny Lake Ranger Station. It’s a nice example of what we used to call the “hero shot” and illustrates that this sort of pose was a cliché ripe for parody even in the 50’s. We did our best in the 70s and 80’s to honor the tradition as illustrated below.
Post your own hero shots here, whether they be the eye-shade and distant gaze, the arms raised in triumph summit photo (but only if intended to be ironic), or the “I’ve reached a jug, snap it now while I try to make it look casual” shot.

CathC, If i can post a pic -anyone can..This helped me..good luck.
Mighty Hiker's tutorial:
Here's an updated version - it seems to work, and has been sent to several, including dudeman. I'm sure there are better and even simpler ways, so feel free to edit. Please remember that these instructions are for techno-idiots such as myself, and so are in plain English rather than geek-speak.
It took me some effort to figure out how to post photos. And I had a lot of help, especially from Crimpie. But if I can do it, so can anyone.
1. Have photos on your hard drive, either from digital photos or scans.
2. Make sure they're reasonable e-size, not more than one or two hundred kilobytes. (To find out, right click on the image. One of the options will be "properties" - left click on that, and you'll learn the size.) A photo of more than that size takes forever for people with dial-up to download, plus ends up wider/higher than a standard screen and so impossible to look at. Many photos from digital cameras are 800 KB or larger, so must be downsized.
3. Go to Photo Bucket (www.photobucket.com), and create an account. A basic account is free, and all you should need. You'll need a user ID and password - don't forget to record them somewhere, for later.
4. Once you have a Photo Bucket account, sign in.
5. A page will appear, including stuff about “current album” and so on. It gives you three choices – “home”, “my album” and “find stuff”. Make sure you’re in “my album” – click on it. Once in my album, the words “upload to: ", followed by your user name, appear, with four icons (bars) below. Click on the “Images from my PC” button. Underneath there are three blank boxes, with the word “Browse” beside. Click on browse. You can then choose an image from your hard drive. (If there are several images, click on "add more", and keep adding.)
NOTE: Photo Bucket regularly gets changed and updated, but the basics seem to stay the same.
6. Once you've selected the image(s), click on "Upload". Photo Bucket then essentially takes the photo(s) from your hard drive and puts them in its memory.
7. In a few seconds, the photos (thumbnails) will pop up at the bottom of the page (try scrolling), together with icons to move, edit, delete or share. Ignore those. Click on the tiny box beside a photo's title (e.g. "DSC00081.jpg"), in effect choosing it. Then right click on the bottom of the four boxes below the thumbnail, the one that says “IMG code”, and copy it.
8. You now have a reference to the photo, in the right size. A "tag".
9. All you need to do now is start a thread, or post a reply to an existing thread. Type whatever message you want. Then put the cursor in the place you want the photo to be. Right click, then click on "paste". That sticks the tag in the place where it'll be in the message. Not the photo itself, just the tag - a reference for the ST server. If you're posting several photos, you have to go back and forth, transferring one "tag" at a time.
10. When you post the message, and it's added to the thread, the photo(s) magically appears - the ST server knows where to look, on the Photo Bucket server, and puts it/them in.
All the photos that you upload to Photo Bucket sit there, so even if your computer is turned off, they're there for people to look at. For practical purposes a photo on ST is in the public domain - if nothing else, Ouch may add a bear to it.
Ain't that fun? There are other places you can do these things, but I'm told PB is simplest

i'm interpreting "hero shots" to be "ridiculous posed shots"
blake, mountaineer coiled and ready to go
stan, 100% 80's
the old "ice axe at sunrise on Avalanche Peak" pose
if i photoshopped all those other people out, this would be a great shot of me with my ice axe thrust skyward!

These photos are really great. I especially like the one of the little boy - start 'em out young!
Someone shout start a thread on the antithesis of the hero shot - when you are hurting and wishing you were about anywhere but right there; so much so that you couldn't paint on a false face if you tried. I haven't got any - but I know that some of you all must.

Boche and Guido on one of our infamous First Ascent by Topo Only explorations. Often 2-3 day endeavors and often devoid of anything worth climbing. The Topo lines may have been stacked together but the rock was sh#t.
Don't let the short hair fool you. Circa late 60s. If the route turned out to be worthless we always had alternative modes of entertainment.

Inspired by this thread, I posted this pic on the Sheridan Anderson thread, but it belongs here as well.
An artist himself, Sheridan was a fan of the early western artist Frederic Remington. He posed for this hero shot while joking about the heroics portrayed in Remington's paintings.

hey there say.... wow! a bump for all the heroes....
say--anastasia... great hero shot, too!...
also, a bump for hidden heroes too (those that have trouble facing the public at times, but dare to do so, anyways, in ways that others would fear to do):
this is november 1st, and seziure/epilepsy awareness month, and many folks are silent heroes, in the battle of life, as they fight this condition:
just by getting up, and going on, when another seizure could
shake any stable-moment, loose, in a split-second, for all to see
and stare at, and for their body to thus have a hard recovery-time from (physically, first, and emotional, later)...
takes a lot of inner-strenth and continual self-esteem repair, to
be heroes, in that battle...
:)
amen and god bless to all our heroes...
neat shares, you all...
hug a hero today, a hidden one, or a well-seen one...
and thank them for inspiring you!...
god bless...
:)

Proud but disappointed I'd forgotten the flag to show atop Lassen.
(Yes, that object does appear to be some sort of Lockerian parapenalia.)
Mighty,
I would consider that a singular honor! (my company is Fram Services)
Shackelton and others were good and even great but none come close to Nansen IMHO.
I have a second edition of The First Crossing of Greenland; weak sauce compared to your treasure.
I do have a real rarity in my first edition of Øst for den store bre by Helge Ingstad. He led an expedition to Scoresby Sund and Eirik Raudes land from '32-33 to help bolster Norway's claim to East Greenland. Interestingly, I find not a whiff of his book or his trip anywhere on the english intardnet/Wikipedia. Of course, a search on no.yahoo.com brings up plenty.

Chris Argyris, one of my most important role models, died November 16th 2013.
“When a sage dies all are his kin and should mourn the passing.”
Argyris was part of the human relations school of the late 1950s and involved in the work of the National Training Laboratories which had a mesmeric attraction for a host of other important thinkers. ‘He was bespectacled, dark-complexioned, and slender, with a narrow face that tended, almost despite himself, to break into a delighted grin when arguments grew hot, as if he was overjoyed at the chance to test himself,’ says Art Kleiner in The Age of Heretics. ‘His voice was distinctively mild-mannered and reedy with a slight European tinge. His style of debate was analytical – indeed, his approach to life was passionately devoted to inquiry, reasoning, and theory. But he was drawn to the kinds of problems that most analytical people eschew, the riddles of human nature. In particular, why did people fail to live up to their own professed ideals? Why was so much human behavior so self-frustrating, particularly in organizations?’
Thinkers 50
Biography
Chris Argyris was born in Newark, New Jersey, and grew up in Irvington. In World War II he served in the U.S. Army Signal Corps. After his service he studied psychology at Clark University, where he met Kurt Lewin. He obtained his MA in 1947, and joined the Kansas University, where he obtained his MSc in Psychology and Economics in 1949. In 1951 he received his PhD from Cornell University, with a thesis on the behavior in organizations supervised by William F. Whyte.
In 1951 Argyris started his academic career at Yale University, where he became appointed Professor of Management science. In 1971 he moved to Harvard University, where he was Professor of Education and Organizational Behavior, until his retirement. Argyris was active as director of the consulting firm Monitor in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Chris Argyris received an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the University of Toronto in 2006. He also received a Doctor of Science award from Yale University in 2011.
Work
Chris Argyris’ early research explored the impact of formal organizational structures, control systems and management on individuals and how they responded and adapted to them. This research resulted in the books Personality and Organization (1957) and Integrating the Individual and the Organization (1964). He then shifted his focus to organizational change, in particular exploring the behaviour of senior executives in organizations (Interpersonal Competence and Organizational Effectiveness (1962); Organization and Innovation (1965).
From there he moved on to an inquiry into the role of the social scientist as both researcher and actor (Intervention Theory and Method (1970); Inner Contradictions of Rigorous Research (1980) and Action Science (1985) – with Robert Putnam and Diana McLain Smith). His fourth major area of research and theorizing – in significant part undertaken with Donald Schön – was in individual and organizational learning and the extent to which human reasoning, not just behavior, can become the basis for diagnosis and action (Theory in Practice (1974); Organizational Learning (1978); Organizational Learning II (1996) – all with Donald Schön). He has also developed this thinking in Overcoming Organizational Defenses (1990) and Knowledge for Action (1993).
Action Science
Argyris' collaborative work with Robert W. Putnam and Diana McLain Smith advocates an approach to research that focuses on generating knowledge that is useful in solving practical problems. Other key concepts developed by Argyris include Ladder of Inference, Double Loop Learning (Argyris & Schön 1974), Theory of Action/Espoused Theory/Theory-in-use, High Advocacy/High Inquiry dialogue and Actionable Knowledge and the study of Adult Personality.
Argyris' concept of Action Science begins with the study of how human beings design their actions in difficult situations. Human actions are designed to achieve intended consequences and governed by a set of environment variables. How those governing variables are treated in designing actions are the key differences between single loop learning and double loop learning. When actions are designed to achieve the intended consequences and to suppress conflict about the governing variables, a single loop learning cycle usually ensues. On the other hand, when actions are taken, not only to achieve the intended consequences, but also to openly inquire about conflict and to possibly transform the governing variables, both single loop and double loop learning cycles usually ensue. (Argyris applies single loop and double loop learning concepts not only to personal behaviors but also to organizational behaviors in his models.)

Obituary for Chris Argyris(1923 –2013), father of Organisational Learning, by Diana Smith
On November 16th 2013, Chris Argyris died peacefully, surrounded by his family after living a full and meaningful life. During his 90 years, Chris served in World War II, produced over 30 books and 150 articles, taught at Yale’s School of Management and at Harvard’s Business School and Graduate School of Education, served on the Boards of the Monitor Group and Greenwich Research Associates, and earned 14 honorary doctorates. He leaves behind a body of work and a community of inquiry that will forever shape how we think about leaders, organizations, theory-building, research, and practice.
As the father of organizational learning, Chris exemplified what he taught: the curiosity and courage it takes to sustain learning, even in the face of threat; the hope and humility it takes to create a better world; and the unbounded generativity and generosity it takes not just to create new ideas, but to forge collaborations across disciplines and to mentor a wide range of scholars and practitioners.
But it was Chris’s unique ability to empathize with people’s experiences and circumstances—while still holding them accountable for changing them—that affected me most. This was his ticket into the hearts and minds of thousands of people around the world—government and corporate leaders, students, professors, and colleagues alike.
In the days since Chris’s death, his family has been deeply moved by the outpouring of love and respect for him from all over the world. They are comforted by the fact that he will live on through his students and colleagues.
They are honored to know that he was part of the Greatest Generation that served in WW2.
They are deeply proud of his 14 honorary doctorates, 30+ books and 150+ articles, and long and distinguished career at Yale and Harvard Universities.
What they are most proud of, however, is that he lived a very simple life, free from pretense. He valued the same qualities in anyone whether they were a cabinet member of the US government, a first grade teacher or a janitor. If you could look honestly at yourself and others, if you were engaged with life, if you were ready for a good debate, he was on your side.
While Chris was known as a tough teacher, his students often spoke of his personal kindness. As one student said, “I had to tell him my paper was going to be late because my father had just been diagnosed with cancer. I went in feeling incredibly nervous. He was so compassionate that I burst into tears and left feeling cared for and comforted.”
Chris grew up in urban New Jersey to found great comfort in the outdoors. He was an Eagle Scout. He loved nothing better than to take his son Phill and his friends to the White Mountains, up the Tuckerman Ravine Trail, or on overnight trips to the Hutsman’s Cabin, just south of Mount Washington, in February!
Chris loved tending to his yard. On any given weekend, he could be found raking, mowing the lawn, chopping wood and weeding. He seemed to have an uncanny knack for never getting poison ivy, and the more roots he pulled up the better.
Chris walked or jogged 3–5 miles every day of his life until he was 89. It was his best venue for thinking through tough problems. Long before walking became fashionable, Chris became known in the neighborhood as “that professor who walks.”
Chris shared with his family his love of music and movies. To hear Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald or Andres Segovia gave him enormous pleasure. Movies were another great love, especially the old classics. For Chris and his family, a perfect evening was one spent with Casablanca, Singing in the Rain, the Marx brothers’ Night at the Opera, or High Noon. Movie nights could become competitive – who was that actor or actress, and where had they seen her before? Chris’ enjoyment of movie night was always enhanced with his favorite ice cream, Fudge Ripple. If you topped it off with grapes, so much the better.
Above all, Chris loved his family. He met his wife Renee when they literally bumped into each other at a wedding, at which point he announced to all his friends that she was the woman he would marry. They celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary this year.
From an obituary by Andrew McAfee
Chris Argyris was not only clear about organizational failure modes, but also about how much time and effort were needed to get past them. He didn’t offer quick fixes or ‘the 4-hour organization.’ Instead, he stressed that it was a real slog to make things legitimately better. I think his honesty cost him some attention, probably even a lot of it, but that’s a tradeoff I’m sure he was happy with. Chris was the most intellectually honest scholar I’ve met; watering down his medicine to make it go down easier would have been anathema to him.
And Marlow will add - if he had watered down his medicine, he knew better than anyone else that he would have fallen into one of the traps he was warning us all about.
A life well lived…
