For those of you taking my advice and watching BSG, I would heartily suggest watching the miniseries first...things will make a lot more sense for the first few episodes of season 1...except for like the one thing I really watched it for. Anybody happen to know what that picture is the pilots tap on the way out of the ready room (episode 1...can be seen in the background on Colonial 1 as well)
that is all
also: Nicki Clyne (Specialist Cally) needs to be in more things

Found it for you in a quick google. It's not your fault; apparently the scene showing what the picture was was cut, heh.
From http://blog.scifi.com/battlestar/archives/2005/01/
"It's probably been asked before, but I'm curious as to whom is in the picture in the Viper Pilot's briefing room, facing away from the camera . . . the one the pilots, including Commander Adama, touch when they enter and leave? This is touching, and is a wonderful human element to the story. So who is it?"
There was a scene cut from "33" where we saw Laura being given her copy of the photo along with a card that said it was taken on the roof of the capitol building on Aerilon during the attack. The photo was inspired by the famous shot of the fire-fighters raising the flag at Ground Zero that became iconic. I thought the Colonies would have their own version of this -- a snapshot taken in the moment that becomes a symbol of the day they can never forget and of all they had lost. The photo itself is of a soldier falling to his knees (possibly shot or simply overcome by emotion) as he stands on the rooftop over looking the devastation of his city, while the Colonial flag waves at the edge of frame. The inscription below the photo on Laura's plaque reads, "Lest We Forget" in itself a reference to the inscription on the watch presented to John Wayne's character in "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon."
Thats along the lines of what I thought it was...though my line of thinking led me to think it was Helo for a while
