Profile portrait of Carol Hoff, author of Johnny Texas

Hi, LibraryThing Members!

I would like to use the portrait photograph of Carol Hoff, author of Johnny Texas, that appears in her LibraryThing author profile in my own book, soon to be published by the University of Texas Press. The profile photo is accompanied by this statement: "This photograph of Carol Hoff, author of Johnny Texas, was emailed to me by her great-nephew." How can I find out further information, including the name of the person who received the email and posted the photo and, if possible, the name of the great-nephew so I can contact him for permission to use the image?

Many thanks!

>1 barbermj108: If you click on the author picture in the author gallery it will show you who uploaded it. However, that user does not appear to have any activity since 2012 so I doubt you will have any luck.

Many thanks, norabelle414! I was able to email IndyAnna 81 and am hoping to receive a reply!

Hi am new here

Evidently. Did you have something to say about author pics?

And while we're on the subject, why use a stock photo for your profile?
