My friend Julie Mihaly, Spy‘s clever, creative photo editor in the Puck Building days and for a spell on Union Square as well, saw the photos I had posted on the blog here and here and here and here, and decided to do some local photo research–local, like in her own photo albums–to see what images she possessed. She found these pix of the stalwarts from Spy‘s art, photo and research departments. Wonderful! My only question is, How did Matt Weingarten miss this event?

Geometry Problem: Which pyramid holds more beer?
These would be Joe, Joanne, Harriet, Carrie, BW, Christiaan, Nikki, Julie and Ted in various configurations; really observant readers will spot staff writer Henry Alford
