My first thought was to initiate a negotiating process to determine what
the "market value" of this photo was to Nick.  But then I got to worrying
that no matter how high my asking price was, he might be willing to pay
it.  In which case I wouldn't be able to publish the photo and I'd have to
permanently delete the JPG file.  I realized that I had a moral obligation
to share it with the world, so that everyone could see the demonic effect
that sugar has on him.

Consider yourselves warned.

*"In general, we look for a new law by the following process. First, we
guess it (audience laughter), no, don’t laugh, that’s the truth. Then we
compute the consequences of the guess, to see what, if this is right, if
this law we guess is right, to see what it would imply and then we compare
the computation results to nature or we say compare to experiment or
experience, compare it directly with observations to see if it works. If it
disagrees with experiment, it’s WRONG. In that simple statement is the key
to science. It doesn’t make any difference how beautiful your guess is, it
doesn’t matter how smart you are, who made the guess, or what his name is.
If it disagrees with experiment, it’s wrong. That’s all there is to it.”*
