6. The photos are in Abramoff's possession.
This one was aquired by Time from the Indian Chief. The Chief doesn't have all the photos of Abramoff, only Abramoff does.

4. The NYT published the photo in Black and White, Time published it
in color. The NYT version was wider, the Time version cropped.

From the NYT, same photo:

AP
WASHINGTON - The White House on Sunday acknowledged the authenticity of the first photograph made public that shows President Bush and embattled lobbyist Jack Abramoff, while stressing it does not mean the two had a personal relationship.

The photo, published by The New York Times and Time magazine, shows Bush shaking hands with an Abramoff client, chairman Raul Garza of the Kickapoo Indian tribe in Texas. Abramoff's bearded face appears in the background, small and slightly blurry.

White House spokesman Allen Abney said the photo was taken in 2001, when the president dropped by a meeting of about two dozen state legislators to thank them for supporting tax relief.

Originally, the White House said it had no record of Abramoff's attendance at the meeting.
