Ms Sampson herself doesn't want this pic to be public. She argues I'm freeloading on her career to get my name around. Moreover the picture I put up is a cheap snap. Not a professional portrait. It does me as few favours as it does her. I myself value pics which have their stories, not just professional portraits. I'd like to receive opinions from other Commons photographers and also admins.

This picture was taken on public performance. Avjoska (talk) 14:07, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Tell her that if she wants her picture to be replaced, she has to find someone who want to photography her a release the picture under a free license. That way, no harm is done. Diti the penguin 16:41, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That said, it's not a very complimentary picture, and it would certainly be good to get a better one. I'm sure that once we had that, we could delete this as a courtesy. - Jmabel ! talk 16:51, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely terrible photo, but I don't think we're going to delete it if we have no viable alternatives. -mattbuck (Talk) 12:29, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
