The main goal is to respect the privacy permissions as they are set on
Flickr.

There are a number of options that would achieve this:

1) Only import and/or display public photos. (And explain this policy to the
owner on import).
2) Import everything, but the only photos displayed on published pages or
exported through the API are the public ones. (Potentially confusing for the
user).
3) Give the user a single setting about whether he wants to import public,
private and/or family photos. (With the proviso that these photos could go
out through the API if they publish a page with that photo?).
3) Import everything, but require that viewers and/or API callers provide
their Flickr credentials. Use those credentials to check if they have
permission to view the photo. (Much more difficult to engineer.)

We might want to start with (1) but aim for (3).

Thinking the easiest fix for now is to never display private photos on public profiles.

Even easier is to never display private photos at all. Currently public and private profiles use the same widgets for photos.

If there is a future need for Owners to see private pictures on the private profile page, but never display them publicly, please file a separate bug.

All portraits regardless of privacy are found and displayed on the owner dashboard and the private profile pages.

Private photos are never displayed on the public profile page.

If the owner changes the privacy setting on Flickr and resyncs, the portrait will appear or disappear from the public profile page as expected.
