That was taken about 1962 by a woman who was Willie Zachariasen's technician and also a professional photographer. It was used in a UC calendar (1963), of all things.

I am grateful for the picture because I have the calendar, but the picture is small and low resolution.

I was doing fluid mechanics at the time, and Herb Anderson (who was chairman) let me know it was OK for Chandra to do fluid mechanics, but not me. But I had a Sloan, and went ahead anyway. Herb was overjoyed years later when he edited the Physics Vade Mecum, which stemmed from Fermi's famous compilation. I did a chapter on low temperature physics and a chapter on fluid dynamics.

So much for bumptious kids.
