Using a free image
From what I know, David Sedaris is relatively reclusive. Though he does occasionally do public signings, as a primarily non-visual medium person (writing and radio), pictures of him aren't as widely available as, say, a movie star. Combine this with the fact that this is a promotional photo of the author (used in Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim), I think this is an exceptional photo for illustrating the subject of David Sedaris.

 * The very first fair use criterion is "No free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information." As long as he's alive and can be seen in public (at signings, award ceremonies, etc.), a free equivalent could be created that would adequately give the same information. That makes this image a violation of Wikipedia policy. —Angr 17:43, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
