In addition to my previous question...the thing is..I WAS already being nice to her when I said Good Night to my co-worker that Friday night...IT is HER that is MAD at me for NOT letting her take MY picture. So...how can there be not a problem? (see responses from my other question), So..I was already trying to get along with her that Friday..but that Monday...she was the one doing the ignoring. There is no way am I letting her take a picture of me., so by her ignoring me...That is a problem.

A person can take a picture of you if they are in a public place, or a place they are authorized to be absent some rule to the contrary, but it may be illegal for someone to use your picture for commercial purposes. The dispute you describe in the question sounds more like an interpersonal problem than a legal one at this point. I encourage you to try to reconcile with the person, especially if you have to work together.
