Thanks for this very interesting discussion.  Unfortunately, the  
connection
between Nussenzweig's suit and his religion was omitted, perhaps putting
Mr. Nussenzweig in an unfair light. Here is the AP explanation  
(reproduced
on WordWide Religious News)
http://www.wwrn.org/article.php?idd=20434&sec=35&con=4>:


   Goldberg said his client's religion forbids, and he has a deep  
conviction
   against, reproducing his image by photography or other means  
because of
   the belief in the Second Commandment's prohibition against graven  
images.

   "It puts him in a disgraceful light within his community,'  
Goldberg said.
   "It violates the tenets of the particular religious sect to which he
   belongs. He shouldn't be put in a position where people might think
   he sold out for a few bucks."

There may be some significance to the fact that the objectionable  
photo was
not of a scene nor a crowd, but of the subjects head

     the photo of Emo Nussenzweig -- a head shot showing him sporting a
     scraggly white beard, a black hat and a black coat -- ...the
     photographer took...surreptitiously near Times Square in 2001  
and then
     sold 10 prints of it at $20,000 to $30,000 each.

     ...The displayed photo of the 80-year-old Nussenzweig was about  
3 feet
     by 4 feet.
