If you receive this message, please remove the photo of Suzanne Barr from this post. There is a copyright issue. It was only an issue at my blog, and that has been taken care of but it should be removed here also.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
It’s gone now.
The photo comes from the Washington Post? If so, why would the photographer contact you (as opposed to their attorney). The subject of the post is a government official, and it looks like the standard picture all government officials have taken for their position.
Seems this would fall under fair use. Maybe I'm missing something.

M Kehoe, I was told he took the photo for an Alumni magazine photo with the agreement that it would not be released. In this case it is a negative article and he wanted it down. He did say there was a cost involved, but he wasn’t interested in the money - just getting it down so it did not damage him with his client.
Was the WaPo article negative?
I removed it from my blog and replaced it with her ICE photo.
RegulatorCountry, thanks!

Understood. You did the right thing.
I don't recall the gist of the Compost article, although a good bet would be that it was positive.
