If you follow the conversation back you will find that this particular line was nothing to do with fair use law but instead the elements of contract law involved in asking someone to take a picture for you.>>
And this position makes no sense. There is no contract law in "asking someone to take a picture for you" Please point to some case, in contract law, where a random stranger, sued the person they were taking a picture of, because they didn't get permission or whatever you're saying.
There is no contract without consideration. If a stranger took the picture out of a sense of friendliness there is perhaps a gift, but no contract. The situation may be different if you bought him a drink in exchange for taking your picture.
