Into dust and under dust to lie
 sans wine sans singer sans song (Omar by way of Fitzgerald)

With all do respect to Paco it is my understanding that once across the veil 
intellectual rights either descend to one's heirs or one's works becomes 
public domain.  Thus I would contact his heirs and gain permission there of. 
Of course you could take your own picture and then it would be your 
intellectual property to do with as you see fit.   That is unless the image 
that you imaged is in itself protected like Mickey Mouse or Elvis. 
Mirrors, mirrors we descend into a hall of mirrors don't we?
