Who are these people?
I've been wondering about this ever since I first played Pandora: Who are these people?

Tex's laptop

Tex said this was his family reunion 18 years before Pandora. Wishfuly thinking, the guy at the upper left might be "Tex," but with all those pixels, who knows?

Nice find, I'm curious now too! Maybe AC or someone else will spot this or someone could forward on the question.
The upper left guy does look a bit like Tex.
For a moment I thought the one in blue was Elvis in sunglasses. I apologise because after looking closer its probably a woman, its not my fault, it was just the blurry pixelness! And if it isn't a woman at all then I apologise again...!

I don't know about the Laptop, but the Photos on the Desk if you click on it, Tex says that it was taken at the last Family Reunion...
With the one person looking a bit like a Young Chris, it could very well be a Real Family Photo...

Nice observation, Joliet Jane, and a very good suggestion by you, Oldmurphy.
There are six persons in the picture as far as I can see.
From the left we have (A) a sitting woman (?), (B) a man standing that looks very much like Chris. In the middle we either have Elvis in a blue dress or more likely, (C) a woman in a blue dress. Next we have (D) a short or sitting man, and then (E) a man that resembles Omar Sharif, and to the right, we have (F) a sitting woman. I don't see any other persons, although it looks to me like (B) is faceing another person outside the picture.
(A) Woman, brown hair, sitting, looking at (B)
(B) Must be Chris, holding something in his *left* hand. A coffe cup?
(C) Woman, black hair, giving a plate or something to to (E). Maybe she is the hostess?
(D) Man, black hair, short (looks a little bit like the man with all the veins on his head, in a laboratory, in Overseer). He is holding something in his hands.
(E) Man, tall
(F) Woman, brown hair, sitting, looking at someone in the picture
The scene is situated on a veranda overlooking a lake or the sea. There might be a city in the background as well. If this is so, then the city is right on the lake front or sea side. If it's a city, then by the colours of the houses it reminds me of something desert-like, but that may of course be all wrong.
I am not sure if there is anything significant on the table, other than the flowers and food.

Played it once, stuck for life.
If Tex's timeline holds any degree of accuracy to this picture, then it's probably in or near Salt Lake City. PD was based in 2043. Minus the 18 years since the family reunion gives you 2025. Then, subtract Tex's birth year, 2004, & you get 21, the time that Tex would have been in college in Utah learning to become a PI, which may explain the sweater he has tied over his shoulders. Combine that with Chris Jones being from SLC, UT, & you can at least narrow it down to a nearby body of water.
Has anybody been to the Great Salt Lake to know if this picture's got the right color/complexion for the water?
Another question, one that might make or break this being a real family photo, is where's Kevin, Chris's brother? Is he the one facing CJ so that his back's to us? Is he even here at all?
Possibly an even greater mystery is that, if Tex only had 3 siblings, & they're all pictured in the photograph, who took the family photo? By location, you'd think a friend of the eldest sister, but why not take the photo when everyone's looking at the camera? It's more like something someone would take for a news article than a family album.

Or? Maybe? Get this, this is my own theory here... Maybe it's just a random art piece for use in a background!!

I say it was a real photo that was just used to make the scene look more homely... While they were shooting they probably said "We need to make this look more like Tex's Home."
So maybe the next day of filming Chris grab a photo from home or from his real office and took it to the Set and put it on the table... Would explain why the one person on the right in the photo resembles him so well... The man on the far Left I would wager is CJ's Father... The woman in the Blue in the middle could be his mother possibly... And whoever took the photo did it without letting anyone know they were doing it, just saw everyone gathered on the balcony and snapped the photo...
Even though the pixels are so poor I would say from the hair that, that is an older picture of Chris and not one from his Tex Days...
Or everything I'm saying could be BS and that is a Professional Painting of some kind reduced in size to resemble a small frame photo...
