Plugin: Author Image(s)
Description:
Display image (if present) and/or name for the author of a post, or for all authors on the blog.
Details can be found at the plugin's homepage:

What does it do?
Two things:
1.) Instead of using <?php the_author(); ?> to display the post author's name, you can use <?php c2c_the_author_image(); ?> to display an image (optionally in addition to the name) for the author instead.
2.) In your sidebar, you can list all the authors for your blog using their image (optionally in addition to their name) by using <?php c2c_wp_list_authors_images(); ?> (the image equivalent to WP's wp_list_authors()).
Notes:
- Obviously, there are various preparations, settings and customizations you'll want to perform/check/change before plopping the above code into your templates.
- CSS classes are assigned to the author images.
- The custom field 'author_image' can be used to override the default behavior and allow defining a specific author image for that particular post.
- Basically, read the plugin's homepage for more information about these and other tips.
