No, what you suggested was trying to get personal information for the purpose of your own amatuer background check, not to "buy pictures".

If the photographer thought past sharing the photo of the parents child with the parent then perhaps his motives ARE negative. If he has nothing to hide then why would he refuse ANY form of contact at the expense of loosing money?

That sounds like a great idea, but i'll do you one better- let's install cameras in everyone's homes so we can find the criminals... because if you've got nothing to hide, why not find the criminals easier?
This is a classic example of the extremely horrible and ridiculous invasion of privacy known as "if you have nothing to hide, why do you need privacy?"
With no personal disrespect intended, it is precisely this horrible, backwards, illogical, and self-serving point of view regarding people's right to privacy that allows the U.S. to slip, bit by bit, into a further erosion of civil rights.
